Opinion on Slackbuild script for Echinus window manager.

Mol_Bolom · 02-26-2011, 10:18 PM

Changes :

Echinus 0.4.9

Oct 24, 2011
Slackware 13.37

Slackbuild : 16d0547ea6a2aec3cbae2a03153c434b echinus.tar.gz

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<Old thread information>

<Edit> Noticed OPTS isn't used, so am working on learning how to use diff, and checking a few other things out with the script.
<Edit 2>
Added a patch for including OPTS. Which now the code blocks in this message are not the same as the download.
Cleaned up the script some by using CONF rather than sed.
</2 tidE>
<Edit 3>
Included Tom's copyright for his dwm slackbuild script.
Added a makeshift info file, primarily for the md5sum.
</3 tidE>

Curious if this looks ok. Since the Makefile installed odd directories I used a few sed's to change the Makefile and config.mk as well as modified the echinusrc file. (Using the dwm slackbuild as a template).

3.About panels and pagers
-------------------------

Echinus supports some parts of EWMH, so if the author of the pager knows
what this magical letters mean it *should* work fine.

Known to work:
fbpanel
ipager
ourico

Known to NOT work:
pypanel

I've been testing echinus with pcmanfm --desktop and lxpanel, so far I haven't seen any problems. At least on Slackware 13.1. Don't know about any other versions of pcmanfm and lxpanel not on slackbuilds.org.

# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

The name doesn't match in theslack-desc file: 'dwm:' should be 'echinus:'

Thanks. Should be fixed now.

The ARCH line has been superseded in the sbo templates by this:

Code:

# Automatically determine the architecture we're building on:
if [ -z "$ARCH" ]; then
  case "$( uname -m )" in
    i?86) ARCH=i486 ;;
    arm*) ARCH=arm ;;
    # Unless $ARCH is already set, use uname -m for all other archs:
       *) ARCH=$( uname -m ) ;;
  esac
fi

Which takes account for other build systems than plain old x86. Have a look at the templates here:

http://slackbuilds.org/templates/

Quote:

mv config.mk config.mk-old
mv echinusrc echinusrc-old
mv Makefile Makefile-old
sed 's/\/examples\//\//' config.mk-old > config.mk
etc..

All the mv's are unnecessary, use sed's -i flag for 'in place' and delete the mv's:

Code:

sed -i 's/\/examples\//\//' config.mk
etc

Thanks, had been making changes from the first template there earlier today, but happened to have missed that part,

Fixed as well. The download has been updated above.
