compile v3.20210903.1 under 18.04 Ubuntu? #361

Open Lew-Rockwell-Fan opened 3 years ago

Lew-Rockwell-Fan commented 3 years ago

Anybody been able to compile the current version on 18.04? Trying to install the newest version from here: https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool/releases/download/v3.20210903.1/xdotool-3.20210903.1.tar.gz on a minimalist Ubuntu 18.04 with Openbox built up from the mini.iso like a lighter Lubuntu - because there is a bug fix I'd really like to have in a version more recent than anything in the 18.04 repo.

Can't find any of these by name with Synaptic: xlib, xtst, xi, xkbcommon, xinerama There are some packages that look likely to contain those, but I have them all installed already. I could try downloading the deb from the repo for 20.04 LTS or even the bleeding edge 21.10, but compiling seemed like a more conservative course less likely to break something. I don't want to switch to a newer Ubuntu yet because I have an app I use a lot that won't run on 20.04 & 18.04 is still supported. It's an LTS version.

As root via su:

`# echo $PWD /home/me/Desktop/xdotool/xdotool-3.20210903.1/xdotool-3.20210903.1

make

cc -pipe -O2 -pedantic -Wall -W -Wundef -Wendif-labels -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wbad-function-cast -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Winline -Wdisabled-optimization -Wno-missing-field-initializers -g -std=c99 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/include -fPIC -c xdo.c xdo.c:24:10: fatal error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory

include <X11/Xlib.h>

      ^~~~~~~~~~~~

compilation terminated. Makefile:130: recipe for target 'xdo.o' failed make: *** [xdo.o] Error 1

`

Added: I thought the code tags were supposed to supress reformatting text. Didn't work. What did I do wrong? That bold 'make' is supposed to be '# make'.

I checked my ubuntu machine and the packages you probably want are:

apt-get install libxtst-dev x11proto-dev libx11-dev libxinerama-dev libxkbcommon-dev libxi-dev

I might have missed a dependency. Let me know if this helps, or, if you get any new error messages :)

Wow that’s certainly an odd situation. Hmm…

I bet I can try to reproduce on an Ubuntu 18.04 Docker image next time I’m at a computer.

Any new thoughts or should I figure on living with it until I'm forced to abandon 18.04 by the raging torrent of history?

jordansissel commented 2 years ago

I haven’t had time to work on this yet
