I am able to compile the latest version as shared library It is running fine on terminal but how to enable graphical mode (compile as executable) Using latest gcc

CruiserOne commented 3 years ago

To compile in windowed graphics, uncomment the "#define X11" line near the top of astrolog.h before running make. Afterward, run with the -X command switch to bring up a window. See the compiler instructions in the documentation file for details: http://www.astrolog.org/ftp/astrolog.htm#compile

It's already uncommented. I haven't changed anything. But it is compiling as shared library (cannot launch with double click) I am even able to run it from cli with ./astrolog command with -X command switch it is showing window and I am able to use this. Thanks for great program and quick help.

It is NOT compiling as a "shared library". It is compiling as an executable. There is no GUI in the linux version of astrolog. It only runs in a terminal. The Windows version is the only version with a GUI.

Sir here is the output of file command

$ file ./astrolog ./astrolog: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=e15e9a7691a8c61a38aaa7db4e2b4bd48dba1526, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped

I have compiled version 6.3 at that time on linux (slax 7) and it runs with double click.

Btw no problem I can go with windows version via wine then.

Indeed, Astrolog on Linux is a command line executable. The -X command switch will pop up a graphics window, and one can interact with that window some with the mouse and keyboard, but it's not a full GUI. The Windows command line version works similarly, and can also create a window with the -X switch. (That's different from the Windows full GUI version, which also has menus and dialogs and all, and which you do launch by double clicking its icon.)

That might be changed in current version Here find the version 6.3 I have compiled at that time It an be opened with double click https://github.com/Raj52537/Temp
