Category: Compilation or Installation Issue Group: 0.65.0 Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Compile and Install on FC2 Initial Comment: I'm trying to install the latest blackbox on a box running Fedora Core 2. but the make fails (see the attached file) so.. why is it failing? am i missing some needed packages? also, who would i add it to the sessions list at the graphical login screen? assuming of course i can even get it to work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Scott R. Godin (webdragon) Date: 2004-07-01 08:43 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231518 I resolved the issues with bb for Fedora Core 1 and possibly 2 based on earlier bug reports posted here that you should have read first, but didn't. However, if you grab the src.rpm for blackbox from yarrow.freshrpms.net, you will see in the .spec file my notes on what was fixed and why (it's pretty simple.) regarding the nls problems and the cassert in Window.cc from the freshrpms page: * Tue Feb 10 2004 Scott R. Godin <nospam at webdragon.net> 0.65.0-6 - Patch for #include <cassert> in Window.cc - Fixed nls problem, left in --disable just in case. Smile, Matthias. :-) you can see what I did, in the spec if you care, but if you just want to install and run it, then use the binary rpm from here. Under FC2 just grab the src.rpm and rpmbuild --rebuild blackbox*.src.rpm and you should be good to go. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2004-06-29 13:50 Message: Logged In: NO I'm running fine on Fedora Core2, I *believe* that I just ran $ yum install blackbox And I get a Blackbox session option from the gdm. If you want to build by hand, here are some clues about building from an old post by Sean, don't ask me why blackbox doesn't ship with a configure script. <hints from sean> $ cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/blackboxwm login > password: (just hit enter here) $ cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/blackboxwm -z3 co blackbox <wait for it (-:> $ cd blackbox $ cvs update -dP # clear out the cruft, gotta love CVS $ ./mk.sh $ ./configure # add options as desired $ make $ make install (or just run it from src/) As for requirements, pretty standard stuff. You want automake, autoconf, libtool. Try o get the more recent ones. Xlibs and probably Xft as well. No need for fancy CVS versions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2004-06-29 13:17 Message: Logged In: NO I am having the same issue on Fedora Core 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=428681&aid=976944&group_id=40696 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
