Hi all, I have tried to build sawfish on my AMD64 box (Fedora Core 4). The RPMS of librep, rep-gtk, and sawfish are available at
ftp://ftp.linux.cz/pub/linux/people/jan_kasprzak/sawfish-cvs/ The sawfish package I have compiled seems to work, but I have problem with dual-head setup. I have a dual-port VGA card, and run my deskop as screens :0.0 and :0.1 (i.e. without Xinerama, just a display with two screens). It seems that sawfish does not manage the windows on the secondary head (:0.1), only the windows on the primary head. Is this a bug or feature? Can sawfish be used on dual-head setup as well? I had to do the following changes in order to build those packages - maybe they should be integrated to the main tree: ------- Librep: My autoconf does not know AM_LC_MESSAGES - I have simply commented it out: --- librep/configure.in.orig 2005-11-14 16:22:33.000000000 +0100 +++ librep/configure.in 2005-11-14 16:21:42.000000000 +0100 @@ -593,7 +593,7 @@ AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(rep_INTERFACE, ${libcurrent}) dnl Hacks for libintl -AM_LC_MESSAGES +dnl AM_LC_MESSAGES VERSION="$version" PACKAGE="librep" DATADIRNAME="share" ------- rep-gtk and sawfish: both CVS versions contain too old config.sub (or etc/config.sub in Sawfish). I have just replaced it by config.sub from my automake distribution. The error printed is as follows: > checking build system type... Invalid configuration > `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized > configure: error: /bin/sh etc/config.sub x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu failed ------- rep-gtk and sawfish: These two packages complain that AM_PATH_REP in rep.m4 is underquoted (while running ./autogen.sh: > Running aclocal > /usr/share/aclocal/rep.m4:7: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_REP > run info '(automake)Extending aclocal' > or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal ------- Thanks, -Yenya -- | Jan "Yenya" Kasprzak <kas at {fi.muni.cz - work | yenya.net - private}> | | GPG: ID 1024/D3498839 Fingerprint 0D99A7FB206605D7 8B35FCDE05B18A5E | | http://www.fi.muni.cz/~kas/ Journal: http://www.fi.muni.cz/~kas/blog/ | > Specs are a basis for _talking_about_ things.
