Nice tool! It works as described. Thank you. I needed this patch to be able to compile it: diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index 9f7b524..0952346 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -20,8 +20,8 @@ DB_LDFLAGS = `pkg-config --libs xext` #DB_CFLAGS = -DNODB #DB_LDFLAGS = -CROP_CFLAGS = ${CFLAGS} ${DB_CFLAGS} -Wall -Wextra -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L `pkg-config --cflags x11` `imlib2-config --cflags` -CROP_LDFLAGS = ${LDFLAGS} ${DB_LDFLAGS} `pkg-config --libs x11` `imlib2-config --libs` -lm +CROP_CFLAGS = ${CFLAGS} ${DB_CFLAGS} -Wall -Wextra -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L `pkg-config --cflags x11` `pkg-config --cflags --libs imlib2` +CROP_LDFLAGS = ${LDFLAGS} ${DB_LDFLAGS} `pkg-config --libs x11` `pkg-config --cflags --libs imlib2` -lm all: ${BIN} I found this fix here [1]. `imlib2-config` is deprecated if I got it right. And it wasn't obvious to me that I have to exit croptool via dwm to get some output. It would be nice if it supported a common shortcut like Ctrl-q to quit. [1]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ipager#comment-865929 For those interested in a solution using feh + sx4 + ImageMagick: I hacked togehter this little wrapper script. It's far from perfect as it depends on: - xdotool being installed - my shortcut to hide the status bar - same being visible when the script is started - a German keyboard layout.
