[dev] [dwm] under NetBSD

[Mitt Green]

Hi,

I adjusted paths in config.mk:
X11INC = /usr/X11R7/include
X11LIB = /usr/X11R7/lib
FREETYPEINC = ${X11INC}/freetype2‎

It compiles successfully, but startx/xinitrc
show me X for a second and then it goes
back to tty.

Typing dwm from tty gives
'Shared object "libX11.so.7" not found'

libX11.so.7 is in /usr/X11R7/lib (result of find).
NetBSD is similar to OpenBSD, I believe, at least
in this case.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

P.S. X works fine, I've tried Openbox.

Alternatively you can also use wm/dwm package in pkgsrc (also setting
LOCALPATCHES can be pretty useful in order to have a custom
configuration/patches).


HTH!

This is helpful, though I still can't solve the problem.
I've tried putting "-Wl, -R/usr/X11R7/lib" in config.mk CFLAGS
and got the same error. Putting it in LDFLAGS
causes ld to complain‎ about not being able to find "file or
directory".

LD_LIBRARY_PATH solves it, however every time
I run make I have to redo it. So, the method
is not preferred. I suppose, I am missing something
with "-Wl, -R".

To Leonardo Taccari:
I have a special folder for suckless in my home,
also I like to switch themes regularly, using
config.h templates‎ for the software.

Thanks,
Mitt

Can you please adjust config.mk like the following?:

X11INC = /usr/X11R7/include
X11LIB = /usr/X11R7/lib

FREETYPEINC != freetype-config --cflags
INCS = -I${X11INC} ${FREETYPEINC}
LIBS = -L${X11LIB} -lX11 -Wl,-R${X11LIB} ${XINERAMALIBS} ${FREETYPELIBS}


Ciao,
L.

^ This. My error was the space between "-Wl," and "-R".
Modifying FREETYPEINC is unnecessary, I've uncommented
OpenBSD line.

I'm reading from my smartphone ‎and sometimes
it's hard to say if there's a space or not.

By the way, I couldn't even imagine that such
things could exist in their documentation.
I downloaded The Guide, it's 384 pages long,
covers topics galore and could be used as a generic
guide for Unix, too, I believe. In Linux this is rare.
If someone is interested, here's the link:

Many thanks,
Mitt
