compile winman

MTK358 · 12-07-2009, 08:21 PM

I found a copy of "The Xlib Programming Manual" to read online, and wanted to try and compile the "winman" window manager example, but it gives me errors, seemingly expecting other files. Could anyone help me about this?

Probably, if you actually posted the errors, told us something about your environment, and what you did to GET the errors....

I copied and pasted the code here to "winman.c":

http://www.softintegration.com/chhtm...an/winman.html

And:

Code:

$ gcc -lX11 -o winman winman.c

You're missing development libraries and the "bitmaps/focus_frame_bi" files, as it says in the errors you got. You don't say what version/distro of Linux, but you should be able to find the eventnames.h file in one of the repos for your distro. The other stuff is probably part of that software package, where you got the code. Can't find it on any RPM site, and the only references I found through Google, reference that development kit.

It says right under my username!

And it lists several under mine...we don't know what box you're using at the time, and what OS it has on it.

location of the X header files maybe?

e.g. perhaps

Code:

gcc -I/usr/local/include -lX11 -o winman winman.c

MTK358 · 12-08-2009, 07:28 PM

I compile other X11 programs just using "-lX11" and it works.

Not much sense bumping the thread, when you don't say if you've installed the missing files or not. Either the files are missing, or the compiler can't find them, one of the two. So install the missing headers/files, or modify the search path/include them explicitly in the code.

And again, part of what you're missing is from that toolkit, where you got the source from. So even if you get the Linux headers sorted out, you're still missing parts.

What I posted seems to be the only part of winman that I can find on the internet. I'll see if I can find any tutorials/instructions about this.

I decided to manually clean up the code, but I can't figure out these errors:

Code:

$ gcc -lX11 winman.c
winman.c: In function ‘draw_focus_frame’:
winman.c:406: error: ‘focus_frame_bi_bits’ undeclared (first use in this function)
winman.c:406: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
winman.c:406: error: for each function it appears in.)
winman.c:406: error: ‘focus_frame_bi_width’ undeclared (first use in this function)
winman.c:406: error: ‘focus_frame_bi_height’ undeclared (first use in this function)

What are those focus_frame_bi_* variables?

My "cleaned-up" winman.c is attached. (I had to add .txt or the forum software didn't let it through)
