(NEW) XVATTR

[desmolinux]

Hi, again, I'm trying to connect the Pc to the Tv, I have finding in google and I find one way, with Xrandr and xvattr, the first (xrandr) is in the repositories but xvatrr no. I have download 3-4 times the archive and I tried to install it, but always give me error in the instalation with the terminal.
When I do ./configure gime me this error:
[root@localhost xvattr-1.3]# ./configure

Can you gime a package of Xvattr that I can install? thanks

Hi,
I had the same problem.

I believe you have to install Xv first before you can install xvattr. You can see in your output that the check for xv fails.

You can get XV from here: ftp://ftp.trilon.com/pub/xv/xv-3.10a.tar.gz

I then got stuck trying to compile it as I'm getting compile errors.
It can't find X11/Xos.h and other .h files in X11/

Not sure if I need to install these files or just modify the makefile to find them in the right place.

Maybe someone knows.

OK, I got it working now.

In order to get XV to compile I had to do a few things and I am trying to remember them and list below in case someone else is running into the same problems:
1. Install the X11 libraries and include files from Synaptics.
2. In /usr/include/X11/Xarch.h change <sys/byteorder.h> to <asm/byteorder.h>
3. Edit the XV make file as follows:
   - CCOPTS = -O -L/usr/lib -I/usr/include
   - MANDIR = /usr/share/man/man1
   - MCHN = -DLINUX
   - BSDTYPES = -DBSDTYPES
4. In file xv.h lines 119-121 need to be commented out.
   /* # ifndef __NetBSD__
   extern char *sys_errlist[]; this too...
   # endif */
5. Do 'make' and 'make install' to install xv (hopefully successfully)
6. In order to build xvattr the GTK library and install files need to be installed from Synaptics. libgtk+2.0 and maybe libgtk+1.2 too.
7. xvattr should now compile OK.

That's it.
