Hello Peter,
Now it compiles and installs XCircuit using the correct libraries. The
only problem is that when running xcircuit, the main window shows up
for a split second and then fails, writing the following error in the
terminal:
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range
for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 53 (X_CreatePixmap)
Value in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 5160
Current serial number in output stream: 5162
I think the best way to tackle this is to bring up xcircuit part by
part and see what part is failing. On some systems Tcl/Tk passes back a
pointer to a window before X11 creates it, and it ends up with zero
values. . . I need to track down which call to XCreatePixmap failed,
and which value was zero (display, window, width, or height).
Start by running the non-console based version and see if it does
the same thing:
/usr/local/lib/xcircuit-3.8/xcircexec
If that also crashes, then (assuming you have the gnu debugger "gdb"):
gdb /usr/local/lib/xcircuit-3.8/xcircexec
break xcircuit.c:1455
(answer "y" to "make breakpoint pending on future shared library load?")
run
When it breaks (assuming it doesn't crash first), do:
print dpy
print areawin->window
print areawin->width
print areawin->height
print areawin->area
any of these values being zero would be a crash condition. I'm not
sure where to go from there until I get the feedback from the debugger
run.
Regards,
Tim
