unfortunately all of them ( from fedora 9 to 12) produce: xkb-config.c: In function 'xkb_config_initialize_xkb_ options': xkb-config.c:153: error: too few arguments to function 'xkl_config_registry_load' xkb-config.c:138: warning: unused variable 'state' xkb-config.c: In function 'xkb_config_free': xkb-config.c:198: warning: unused variable 'i' xkb-config.c: In function 'xkb_config_get_xkl_registry': xkb-config.c:550: error: too few arguments to function 'xkl_config_registry_load' while I try to compile it..
the latest i tried was ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/archive.fedoraproject.org/fedora/linux/updates/12/SRPMS/xfce4-xkb-plugin-0.5.3.3-3.fc12.src.rpm next one (xfce4-xkb-plugin-0.5.3.3-4.fc13.i686.rpm<http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/15857499/dir/fedora_13/com/xfce4-xkb-plugin-0.5.3.3-4.fc13.i686.rpm.html>) requires libxklavier-5.1 and that's not in our repos :( i found reference to this bug ( http://osdir.com/ml/debian-bugs-closed/2010-04/msg01890.html). Not sure where to go from here.... Any ideas are welcomed Andrew On Tue, Aug 30, 2011 at 10:43 PM, Andrew Z <[email protected]> wrote: > Alexandr, > >...
