Trying to install FluxSpace...operative word being trying

[ezroller]

I am trying to install this thing called Fluxspace.

 

http://www.isomedia.com/homes/stevencooper.../fluxspace.html

 

I'm getting some really funky error messages that I am not familiar.

 

when I try to do the ./configure, I get the following halfway through it. The lines in red are the ones in question.

Thanks in advance for any help!!!

Edit: took a second look and came up w/some ideas:

 

 

i would contact the guy who writes fluxspace (this previously read fluxbox, that was a mistake), it looks like he made some mistakes in his code (not relating to the Imlib issue), I think.

 

the following are what i'm wondering about:

const char* BaseDisplay::getXDisplayName() onst

missing the c in const at the end?

const char* BaseDisplay::getApplicationName) const

missing the beginning "("?

BaseDisplay::BaseDisplay(const char*, const cha*, bool)

missing the r in the second char?

 

the problem appears to be that the function BaseDisplay doesn't have a variable assigned to take the value of the variable "application_data"

 

that's my guess, but it's been nearly 2 years since i've worked with C/C++

you know what else is wierd is the part about imlib2 not being found, so pixmap support is disabled. that sucks pixmap support is what the whole damn program is about! I have imlib3 installed. I tried to install imlib2, and it would let me, but I always got the same error messsage.

probably because it's only finding imlib3, try specifying where imlib2 is when you run the configure command. do a ./configure --help and look for an option to use for specifying the directory to find imlib in.

Don't know if you saw it or not....but you're not alone :(

oh I get it now!!!!!! crappy code.

oh I get it now!!!!!!  crappy code.

 

woohoo! was i actually right? i should take the time to fix it for everyone, if i can figure it out *starts thinking really hard* remember C++.....remember C++....

[bvc]

Are you saying it's working for you? If so what did you do?

[tyme]

Are you saying it's working for you? If so what did you do?

who's that directed towards? i don't think anyone has fixed it yet, and i know i certainly haven't :)

[ezroller]

nope...no fixed code here. just a missing "Y" key from me punching the keyboard and it going flying to god no what remote corner of my room.

whoops? must be fun to type anything with a why in it...try typing this sentence:

why worry you can always just type with a stylus? yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

 

mwahaha...i'm evil.....erm, right. anyways......

[tyme]

ok, i took a look at the program, opened up the file to see if i could figure out what the deal was.

 

it appears that on line 119, for some reason we're getting a parse error. line 119 is:

string display_name, application_name;

both my brother and i looked at this, and could not find the problem. going to email the guy wh wrote the program and see if he can figure it out-thats my best bet.

[Guest joehill]

thanks, it looks like that did it. the new source on the fluxspace site compiled fine after I did:

 

#urpmi imlib2-devel

 

cheers!
