The tint 2 documentation is missing the xrandr develop dependancy #33

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open the documentation
2. Read the documentation
3. Type make and attempt to compile tint2 from source without xrandr-dev

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is tint2 compiles correctly.  Instead, I see an error
message and tint2 does not compile.  This happens without all of the
development versions of the pango, cairo, glib, imlib2, xinerama, and
xrandr packages installed.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using the stable version 0.6, not from svn.  I am using openbox on
Fedora 10.

Please provide any additional information below.
google searches on compiling tint2 from source yields these results:

http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/tint2
The above link shows what packages are required to compile tint2 in Debian.
 As you can see from the red dots, the Debian folks found tint2 to be
dependant on the development versions of those six packages, including xrandr.

The last triangle in the above link shows that a package manager in Ubuntu
added the xrandr-devel dependency for Ubuntu.

The last post in the forum in the above link shows an Ubuntu user who ran
into this problem and solved it by installing xrandr.

Please edit the documentation and change the dependencies to the
devel-versions of those packages, and include xrandr.  Heck I'll do it. 
Tint2 is great and it would be a shame if people didn't try it out because
of this problem.  Thank you.

I misspelled "Dependency" in the title of this issue.

thanks, fixed documentation in tint-SVN.
I don't use devel-versions of packages because it's an ubuntu/debian notation.
