Title: flwm - "stock" build fails on exit
Post by: dentonlt on July 21, 2012, 02:52:48 AM

I re-compiled the FLWM code (1.14 - from the TC downloads/current release files pages) to add focus-follows-cursor. Everything works fine until I hit the "Exit" menu button. Rather than pulling up exittc, FLWM crashes - no menus available, no wbar, etc. I can still ctrl-alt-bkspc out.

I backtracked to try the original config.h (as posted for TC), and it fails, too. I'm not really sure what to try, actually.

I'm using compiletc, Xorg-7.6-dev.

Ideas?

/tmp/wm_errors content:

Code: [Select]

flwm: X_GetProperty: BadImplementation (server does not implement operation) 0xb76ef038
Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x1ed)!
Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x1ee)!
X I/O error
X I/O error

Hmm ... I guess my Xlib doesn't match the one from the exittc binary?

Interesting to hear someone is on that...
Plenty of times in the past I gave up on flwm mainly due to that feature missing driving me sooner or later nuts...

If it's any consolation, that feature does indeed work. That part's great!

I'd like to sort out the other issue before posting my config.h, though ...  :(

Hi dentonlt
Did you use he make file or the compileit script? I recompiled flwm_topside last year so I could disable that
annoying habit it has of moving my mouse pointer for me. I used the compileit script running under TC3.4
with Xorg-7.5-dev and it works just fine.

Hi, Rich - winner! So much for following the README file.

I should have known - the compileit script ensures adds some parameters to the gcc call.

Solved!

tinypoodle: if you'd like to get follow-cursor, edit config.h and disable CLICK_TO_TYPE. Then recompile (using compileit ...)

Good to know, thank you!
Wondering if that would not be worth it's own extension or even could be adapted by current flwm extensions.

The added gcc options were merely luck of the draw. Seems the source is out of date, see the exec exittc line (the variadic exec functions need to be NULL-terminated).
That's why your build crashed, the gcc options just happened to hide it.

This has already been fixed once, and I think we're running the fixed binaries given the lack of such reports ;)


Anyway, I'm not going to update the source tarball. I'll rather add that to my todo and fix that when we get version control, looking forward that.
