IceWM not showing any icons under TC 13.x install

[zhudock]

After installing IceWM and manually running icewm-session, I see a bunch of Out Of Memory errors.  I've tried switching themes to all those included, as well as a few custom downloaded themes, all with the same result.

I saved off my prior TC builds and was not able to recreate this in 6.4, 8, 10.1 or 12.0

icewm was last built on 5.x, maybe it's time for an update - would you be willing to give it a go?

[zhudock]

It's been a while since I've tried my hand at updating a TCE, but I'll give it a go some time in the next few days.

[zhudock]

I have a package compiled and running based on IceWM 2.9.6.

I see JasonW was listed as the original author and don't want to submit a package without approval from the maintainers.

It also looks like the Wiki is unavailable, but a few years ago there was a guide on how to submit a package. Is there a template available somewhere for building the *.info file, other than just copy\pasting the old one?  Was there a tool that validated the correctness of a package before submitting?

Hi zhudock
You can send JasonW a PM if you like, but I doubt he would  mind if you updated icewm. Besides, the change log
shows the last compile was by:

           2013/08/05 recompiled for tc-5.x (juanito)

There were also some changes made to scripts that should probably be carried over:

           2015/04/22 adjusted startup script (juanito)
Current:   2020/09/13 Fixed exec= parsing issue in _menu_common script. (Rich)

An alternative link to the Wiki can be found here:

submitqc.tcz  is used to check packages for errors. Go to the directory where you created the packages and run:

Code: [Select]

submitqc --libs

Hi zhudock

... Is there a template available somewhere for building the *.info file, other than just copy\pasting the old one? ...

Oops, missed that one. You want to copy the  .info  file to preserve the   Change-log:  history and any information
that might be included in the  Comments:  section.

Move the contents of the  Current:  field into the  Change-log:  field.
Place a new entry into the  Current:  field.
Update the  Version:  field.
