Errors on compiling in flux's openbox remaster

[melodie]

Hi,

I started a subject at mypclinuxos.com to present a new project : Openbox/fluxbox flux's remaster.

Well, I didn't reveal all in that thread yet, I would have liked to be more advanced with it and see if I could get a satisfiying fr-en remaster before... but things turn out in a way such that I need your help !

My project is to use my companion's script that allows for dynamic menus in Openbox : without the help of a panel, without the need for icons on the desktop !

Thoses who know Openbox know about the contextual menu in the desktop, and that it has to be edited by hand in the xml files, or edited by hand in a program named "obmenu" : still it's handcraft.

A few months ago, using Openbox on a daily basis, mimas did a first script in lua language. Then I told him I would like to do a remaster with Openbox and his dynamic menu, but when I took a look at the depends, luafilesystems which is needed for his script is not packaged for PClos, and he then decided to port it to C.

The only depends are menu-cache, libmenu-cache, and the devel package. All are available, and now installed in Flux's remaster that I started to modify (updated fully and changed the kernel to 2.6.27.31.tex5 successfully).

The openbox-menu web page is here: http://mimasgpc.free.fr/open-boxmenu.html

The sources are here:
L'archive : openbox-menu.

All menu-cache installed:

libmenu-cache-devel - Contains development files for menu-cache
libmenu-cache0 - Contains shared libraries for menu-cache
menu-cache - A library to speed up freedesktop.org application menus

last gcc 4.4.1 installed, tons of devel packages installed (they were allready in flux's remaster)...

To compile, it needs just "make" as user:

(Seems some cleaning has still to be done after changing kernel... )

What do you think ? Does the make command work in your machines ? (With or without Openbox but with the menu-cache files)

Thanks for helping me.

I updated to current state (without testing) and inserted the .27 kernel.

Code: [Select]

root@localhost: /tmp/openbox-menu # uname -r
2.6.27.31.tex5
root@localhost: /tmp/openbox-menu #
Then I installed the 3 menu-cache-packages (you listed the packages in your post), downloaded the sources, extracted the sources in /tmp and did a

Code: [Select]

root@localhost: /tmp/openbox-menu # make
gcc -Wall -O -g `pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0 libmenu-cache` -c menu.c -o menu.o
gcc `pkg-config --libs glib-2.0 libmenu-cache` menu.o -o openbox-menu
strip -s openbox-menu
root@localhost: /tmp/openbox-menu #
Then I had

Code: [Select]

root@localhost: /tmp/openbox-menu # ls
Makefile  menu.c  menu.o  openbox-menu
root@localhost: /tmp/openbox-menu #

the binary in the directory to use it or to copy it into the system (/usr/local/bin or /usr/bin).

I think you are missing the package

Code: [Select]

glibc-headers-devel-2.6.30-1pclos2010
...

Or you try to fix it in this way:

Code: [Select]

cd  /usr/include/
rm -rf asm
ln -s /usr/src/linux/arch/x86/include/asm .

The sources of the .27.31 kernel must be installed and linked to /usr/src/linux to go this way.

Hi,

We should never have to build a whole oil factory just to run a tiny program. The includes are supposed to be at the right place as kernel-headers are installed (which obviously are, as in PClos it's a dependency of the kernel).

I tried openbox-menu as a binary : mimasgpc.free.fr/openbox-menu
It works nicely.

In ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh I added menu-cached & after the other programs you configured to be started at boot, in ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml some changes were made too.

I had put the binary made executable into ~/.local/bin and added:

Code: [Select]

<menu id="desktop-app-menu" label="Applications" execute="~/.local/bin/openbox-menu" />

Then I added the menu just defined :

Code: [Select]

<menu id="desktop-app-menu" />
under the section «id="root-menu"». (Under the Openbox menu separator).

And now, that's what it looks like   :

Well, I'd like the headers to be constructed so that they would do their job.

Very nice, great work, gratulation!

I just told him your congrats. Feel free to get the sources and use if for all Openbox installs.

As his scripts (one in C, one in lua) allows to have permanently the menus up to date automatically, I thought it would be a good idea to ask him to publish it.

The first place is here : http://mimasgpc.free.fr/open-boxmenu.html

it's under Gpl V3, the second place will be at Google Code. I proposed him to translate his page to english along with a short tutorial.
