Johannes, Thanks again for helping me past that compile issue.
I am now attempting to link. I got past a problem with a spurious -l by changing how I disabled pango. Apparently the proper way to disable pango is as follows (common.mk snippet): #PANGO_CFLAGS := $(call cflags_for_lib, cairo) #PANGO_CFLAGS += $(call cflags_for_lib, pangocairo) I3_CPPFLAGS += -DPANGO_SUPPORT=0 #PANGO_LIBS := $(call ldflags_for_lib, cairo) #PANGO_LIBS += $(call ldflags_for_lib, pangocairo) The link issue I am seeing is an undefined xcb symbol: [i3] Link i3 /usr/lib64/libxcb-render.so.0: undefined reference to `xcb_str_sizeof' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [i3] Error 1 I found the following online: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=95934&sid=ca175185bed9514c33942f4795f29892 Here it was suggested that –rdynamic be added to the link options. This did not work for me. Which library should contain this symbol? -----Original Message----- From: i3-discuss [mailto:i3-discuss-boun...@i3.zekjur.net] On Behalf Of i3-discuss-requ...@i3.zekjur.net Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2014 9:09 AM To: i3-discuss@i3.zekjur.net Subject: i3-discuss Digest, Vol 54, Issue 10 Send i3-discuss mailing list submissions to i3-discuss@i3.zekjur.net<mailto:i3-discuss@i3.zekjur.net> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://infra.in.zekjur.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/i3-discuss or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to i3-discuss-requ...@i3.zekjur.net<mailto:i3-discuss-requ...@i3.zekjur.net> You can reach the person managing the list at i3-discuss-ow...@i3.zekjur.net<mailto:i3-discuss-ow...@i3.zekjur.net> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of i3-discuss digest..."
