Fluxbox svn src compilation failed, solution.

Sunday, 12. August 2007, 16:05:14

, ,

I have to write down this, reminder for me to compile fluxbox from source next time in future.

ake[2]: Leaving directory `/home/hkong/Dev/fluxbox_1.0rc3/fluxbox-devel/nls'

make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2


When getting error of defaults.hh, grep "defaults.hh" at src folder. It will leads you to the line at Makefile

# an extra dep for fluxbox
fluxbox.$(OBJEXT): defaults.hh


Some how OBJEXT is not define, thats the reason make fails.

Workaround:
export OBJEXT=o
make

Fluxbox unsolves bug.

I have play around a lots of fluxbox svn version over the weekend, and discover a bug on windows title, while display non-english characters while you login with en-UTF-8 locale.

fluxbox

Observed that the windows title, it could not recognize the font and display correctly, even I overlay it with chinese font in ~/.fluxbox/overlay. But in gtk part of space, observe the tab, it do works to display properly.

Any Chinese fluxbox user facing the same problem?
Probably not if you login as a zh locale, what if you login to en locale and need the windows title to display properly? In gnome, they do not have such problem, in fluxbox they have, who can fix it? which developer should I email to?

While running at different terminal, they uses different amount of processes. This program have difficulties running at multi-gnome-terminal. I have tested under Ubuntu Edgy, xterm, aterm, gnome-terminal. For so far, aterm gives the best performance.

ncurses matrix!

Thursday, 4. January 2007, 16:22:12

, , ,

I have done something stupid again! Play around with ncurses is fun, I have created something similar to matrix flow string ~

Ring ring ring ring banana phone.


It takes more resources to run at gnome-terminal compare to xterm.

Get the binary from here:
matrix

I will publish the source code later, if anyone interested.

Steps to run,
1. copy it to any directory
2. chmod +x matrix
3. ./matrix <num> // where the number is 1 to 7 (color)

Suggest you to run at xterm! Gives some comments.

Hacking the code to gain some tweak of fluxbox

Tuesday, 2. January 2007, 09:51:51

, ,

This is the first request of mine that can't be fulfill by just edit the configuration file. I need to hack the source code, lucky my fluxbox is compiled myself, so that can be done easily.

What is my requirement?
I need to maximize the windows when I double click on the title bar of the windows. By default, it will be shaded instead of maximize.Asking around in the #fluxbox channel, people throw me this
http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Howto_Make_dblclick_titlebar_maximize

Simply How?
The source code is in src folder. Edit Windows.cc, search for
frame().setOnClickTitlebar(shade_cmd, 1,true); // doubleclick with button 1

and replace it to
frame().setOnClickTitlebar(maximize_cmd, 1,true); // doubleclick with button 1


Save the file, and you now can configure, make and make install.

Refers to http://my.opera.com/mysurface/blog/i-recompile-my-fluxbox-from-source for compilation.

Firefox 2.0.0.1 for Ubuntu

Wednesday, 20. December 2006, 13:00:34

, , , ...


Ubuntu do not upgrade your firefox, at least until now still no update from my repository. Firfox released 2.0.0.1 which fix some security bugs, which I think is important. Luckly, you can download from firefox official website, and it works nice.

Pick your preferal language and download it from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

For simple steps after download, you can do it with gnome terminal

sudo tar -zxvf firefox-2.0.0.1.tar.gz -C /opt/


Try out the new firefox first, check the version.
/opt/firefox/firefox


If it is working fine with all your data, now backup the old symlink and create a new symlink to your new firefox
sudo mv /usr/bin/firefox{,-old}
sudo ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox


If your firefox is not under /usr/bin, check it out where it come from
which firefox


Check whether is it symlink
ls -l `which firefox`
