Well, I had already tried Google and FreshRPMS, to no avail -- but pbone had a packager there!

[me=Schotty]bookmarks these guys ;D[/me]

But alas, the package is now sending me into dependency hell .... I am about to kill people. All of the depenedencies are there.

cflags = -g -O2 -I/usr/include/Xft2/X11/Xft -I/usr/include
[/quote]

change that to..

cflags =-g -O2 -I/usr/include/Xft2 -I/usr/include

run make && make install and everything shoulc be honkey dory

[Schotty]

Hmm, well that didnt work, but I am catching on to your logic and decided, since it gave freetype errors, I added that path in there too, to get :

cflags   = -g -O2 -I/usr/include/Xft2 -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/freetype2

Here is what that does ::

[schotty@leinenkugel idesk-0.3.5]$ make
g++ -g -O2 -I/usr/include/Xft2 -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -c Desk.cc -o Desk.o

/usr/include/pngconf.h:248: parse error before `again'
make: *** [Desk.o] Error 1
[schotty@leinenkugel idesk-0.3.5]$

Well I fixed what appears to be an error in the header file. Commented it out

(I am putting this here so If shit is fucked up, I know what to correct ;D )


Okay, I am hoping this means little, and is a breeze to correct --

[schotty@leinenkugel idesk-0.3.5]$ make

Whats your take on that? Is it not able to link to a library? Is that a minor fix to the makefile to tell it the path?

I hope that you commented out the lines on pngconf.h not on Desk.h the lines that need to be commented out on pngconf.h are the following:

/*# ifdef _SETJMP_H
__png.h__ already includes setjmp.h;
__dont__ include it again;
# endif */

also here is my Makefile which works like a charm under phoebe 8.0.9

cc = g++
#cflags = -g -O2 -W -Wall
cflagsÂ*Â*Â* = -g -O2 -I/usr/include/freetype2
libsÂ*Â*Â* = `imlib-config --libs` -lXft
bin = idesk

objs = Desk.o Icon.o Database.o Main.o
headers = Desk.h Icon.h Database.h


all: $(bin)

$(bin): $(objs)
Â*Â*Â*$(cc) $(objs) -o $(bin) $(libs)

$(objs): %.o: %.cc $(headers)
Â*Â*Â*$(cc) $(cflags) -c $< -o $@

install:
Â*Â*Â*install $(bin) /usr/local/bin

clean:
Â*Â*Â*rm -f $(objs) $(bin) *~ core

by the looks of your flags this makefile should work on your system as well I know that I should perhaps posted it earlier but I hesitated due to the fact that different systems throw libraries onto different places.

[Schotty]

Well that still doesnt work. I need the one extra -l option for Xft. But the one thing i notice is this,

g++ Desk.o Icon.o Database.o Main.o -o idesk `imlib-config --libs` -lXft
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXft
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

That still is popping up now. If I do a imlib-config , I dont see -lXft (should it need to be there?). And I can compile other applications just fine. I am baffled. I read over what imlib_config does and I tried adding in specific paths to libraries, no luck...

I dunno about you, but this is getting old

Xft is part of the Xfree86-libs package make sure that you have it installed, it should look like this /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.1. If however you dont have it installed, hunt down XFree86-libs-4.2.1-9.i386.rpm where 4.2.1-9 is whatever version of XF86 you are running. Also make sure that /usr/X11R6/lib is being looked up by the linker, to make sure edit the /etc/ld.so.conf file, it should look something like the following:

/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/local/include

Hope that helps.

[Schotty]

Well /usr/local/include wasnt there, so I added it :

Hmmm eh?

my guess? if you have xft2 installed that is your trouble. i think it is likely looking for xft1.

[Tyr_7BE]

This is the latest version of iDesk, yes? Sarah could be right here.

I already installed that. I think. Would that be these :

[schotty@leinenkugel grub]$ sudo rpm -qa -provides Xft
libXft.so.2  
Xft = 2.0-1
[schotty@leinenkugel grub]$
