It might even be possible to add a CLI option to dynamically load the fancy Fatal_Error
from xlsfonts
on systems where the latter is installed.
A fork that entirely omits the section in question is now available.
TBH I have no idea of the origin of the license claim since this code is not mine. I just hosted here because I used the tool at some time, and it was nowhere to be found. I mailed the author and never got any reaction.
I doubt however that the claim was for the fatal_error function because this function is too generic (you find these everywhere).
But happy to see the project being forked ;-)
Between the lines
// FROM programs/xlsfonts/dsimple.c
and// END FROM
, we currently have the functionsFatal_Error
Window_With_Name
Select_Window_Args
Select_Window_Mouse
However, I can only find
Fatal_Error
in Ubuntu's source ofxlsfonts/dsimple.c
.Are the others your own creation? Then we should adjust the END FROM marker.
Even better would be to write our own
Fatal_Error
function as well, because I can't currently see license compatibility.Maybe it would suffice to have
Fatal_Error
be a trivial function that just prints the error message, and a comment for where to find a fancier function (e.g. the Ubuntu link above) if someone wants to make a temporary debug build.
