Hmmm...I'm trying to install the Gkrellm Launcher and Weather plugins. I untar them, change into the directory and do make as the INSTALL file says to do. It just shoots out a bunch of cryptic messages.

Unfortunatly I'm spoiled with rpms so I don't know how to go about this. If anyone wants me to post the output of the make command I can but here are the last few lines:

gkrellmlaunch.c:434: warning: `cbMoveUp' defined but not used
gkrellmlaunch.c:459: warning: `cbMoveDown' defined but not used
gkrellmlaunch.c:482: warning: `cListSelected' defined but not used
gkrellmlaunch.c:503: warning: `cListUnSelected' defined but not used
gkrellmlaunch.c:515: warning: `cbAdd' defined but not used
gkrellmlaunch.c:545: warning: `cbReplace' defined but not used
gkrellmlaunch.c:591: warning: `cbDelete' defined but not used
make: *** [gkrellmlaunch.o] Error 1

Just out of curiousity:

which version of gkrellm and
gkrellmlaunch are you using/
trying to compile ... ?

My gkrellmlaunch-0.5 doesn't
have an INSTALL file ...

Cheers,

Yeah niether does mine. Its README. I'm using gkrellmlaunch-0.5 and gkrellm-2.1.8.

Okay heres an update. I sucessfully installed a few of the plugins from rpm but the ones that I want aren't working correctly. It says on gkrellm's site that the plugins I downloaded are for gkrellm2.0 or greater.

I'm lost...

Anyway if I can't get this thing to work does anyone know of a cool little weather app for your desktop. Something simple that sits in the corner and tells you your weather or something.

/me looks out of his window and shakes his head ...

Yes but you don't sit in the corner of my desktop.

ba ha ha, good one

Vince, have you given it a make clean, or checked the Makefile to see if you need to edit something to point to a different location of something...

Cool

Yeah I tried:

make clean
make

no dice. This is the makefile:

PKGNAME = gkrellweather
VERSION = 2.0.6
CFLAGS = -O2 -Wall -fPIC `pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --cflags`
LIBS = `pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --libs`
LFLAGS = -shared
PREFIX = /usr/local

LOCALEDIR := $(PREFIX)/share/locale

ifeq ($(enable_nls),1)
CFLAGS += -DENABLE_NLS -DLOCALEDIR=\"$(LOCALEDIR)\"
export enable_nls
endif
CFLAGS += -DPACKAGE="\"$(PKGNAME)\""
export PKGNAME LOCALEDIR

CC = gcc

OBJS = gkrellweather.o

gkrellweather.so: $(OBJS)
(cd po && ${MAKE} all )
$(CC) $(OBJS) -DVERSION=\"$(VERSION)\" -o gkrellweather.so $(LFLAGS) $(LIBS) -lpthread

install:
(cd po && ${MAKE} install )

else \
install -D -c -s -m 644 gkrellweather.so $(PREFIX)/lib/gkrellm2/plugins/gkrellweather.so ; \
fi
install -c -m 755 GrabWeather $(PREFIX)/bin

(cd po && ${MAKE} uninstall )

I don't know what to look for.

If you are getting the same error from
two different packages (done by two
different people?) I'd assume it has to
do with your compiler ...

Could you, despite the size, copy &
paste the output of the entire make?
The "last few warnings" you copied the
first time around didn't really give an
explanation ... :)

hehe okay I'd like to post the output of the make command but I can't figure out how. I tried to do:

make > file.txt

but that doesn't capture all the output. I can't simply highlight it either because its too big to fit on one screen. D'oh!

GkrellWeather was last updated in may 2001, I'd say it's a compiler problem - I last compiled it on slack 8.1 (gcc-2.95) and it won't compile on slack 9.0 (gcc-3.2). Someone needs to port it to gcc-3.2.

Try
make > file.txt 2>&1

Cheers,
Tink

See if my compiled version will work (gcc 2.95 slack 8.1)
http://masterc.no-ip.org/host/gkrellweather.so

Put the .so in your gkrellm plugins folder and restart gkrellm.

Cool

Ah man its too long. Its like 120,000 characters and it doesn't let me post it. Oh well. By the way what 2>&1 ?

2 or more posts will fit I bet

Cool
