XBoard (GtkBoard?) pre-alpha

[hgm]

Ah yes. I started collecting the various patches I made in WinBoard before and during my holiday on my Linux system (where I maintain the source repository) only yesterday. And some of the WinBoard patches broke XBoard. I already fixed that for the Xaw version, but I did not try to compile the GTK version yet.

This particular error is du toe the -autoCreateLogon patch, which (when on) automatically creates an ICSlogon file from the name and pasword you type, to use thos next time when you login. I changed the type of the ICSInitScript function from void to int for that, to have it report whether the file already exited.

It seems that xboard.c still contains a 'prototype definition' for that function as 'void'. As far as I could tell the fact that the definition is there is an error in itself, because that function no longer resides in xboard.c, but has been moved to usystem.c in the pre-GTK core reorganization.

The warnings are innocent; in the GTK version FindFont is not used at all. It is left there only as a 'to-do' reminder, with all the actual Xaw-based code commented out (leading to the complaint that the variables are no longer used).

Today I am at the Leiden tourney, but I will repair the GTK version for the latest back-end changes soon after that.

Just a quick little note: gtkboard does exist.

Oh wow, that's exciting, have fun Harm!

Well I successfully compiled the gtk version in OSX

Note others using mac, use macports. First it has the latest version of gtk which fink hasn't updated past version 2 yet. Librsvg actually worked too so svg pieces works at least in gtk version. I havn't been able to compile xaw version for some reason see below. little crazy.

in the gtk version board resizing hasn't been implemented with the window yet? Seems like the board is fixed and moving the window around just adds space. Also doesn't seem to update the window properly. I have to flip the board so it will redraw when ever i start up xboard.

anyway here is the issue with the xaw version.

I havn't been able to compile xaw version for some reason see below. little crazy.

Have you cleaned and built from scratch after the last GTK build?

Or maybe the following is related to your problem, I don't know and can't check. "configure.ac" contains this code:

Code: Select all

dnl | make results available in Makefile.am
AM_CONDITIONAL([withGTK],   [test x"$with_GTK" = x"yes"])
AM_CONDITIONAL([withXaw],   [test x"$with_Xaw3d" = x"yes"])
AM_CONDITIONAL([withXaw],   [test x"$with_Xaw" = x"yes"])

where I would expect the second line to start with "AM_CONDITIONAL([withXaw3d]..." instead of "...withXaw...". Not sure whether it may help at all to change it, or whether changing it according to my expectation would even be correct, but it looks a bit like a copy&paste problem at least, and may have *some* influence on the build as well.

If I read the configure log followed by your error messages I get the impression that the generated makefile may be somehow inconsistent, possibly the include path is not set correctly for some reason. I'd assume the X11/Xaw headers are present (otherwise we can stop here ...) so it should really a problem of the configured include path.

Yah, all that stuff checks out. I did make the change but no luck

I "echo $PATH" there exists the line
/opt/X11/include

And sure enough the "missing" headers are all there under "X11/Xaw/" so this has me scratching my head.

[JoshPettus]

the ./configure generated says /usr/x11/ etc but that is a simlink to the original which is in /opt/ . So either would work right?

And sure enough the "missing" headers are all there under "X11/Xaw/" so this has me scratching my head.

$PATH is irrelevant here, it is for calling programs without the need to mention their location, as in calling "gcc" instead of "/where/ever/gcc/is/installed/bin/gcc". I wonder why /opt/X11/include is in your $PATH even though that folder probably does not contain any executables, but answering that does not help here.

The include path of the compiler is buried somewhere in the generated makefile. I'd recommend to make the command line that does the job behind

Code: Select all

  CC       xaw/xboard.o

visible somehow to see whether it contains "-I /usr/X11/include" or "-I /opt/X11/include". A manual way to achieve this would be to patch the generated makefile by removing the "@" sign at the beginning of the rule that builds .o files from .c files (maybe just for xaw/xboard.c if such a single rule exists).

The symlink stuff sounds o.k. so /usr/X11 and /opt/X11 should both work.

Any permission problem perhaps?

ls -ld /opt/X11/include
ls -ld /opt/X11/include/X11
ls -ld /opt/X11/include/X11/Xaw
ls -l /opt/X11/include/X11/Xaw/Dialog.h

First let me stress I have no Mac, and only know very little about the Linux automake process (which, for XBoard, is all handled by Arun Persaud). If I look at the above output, however, I notice that there is a -I/opt/local/include in the command, while in fact your files are in /opt/X11/include. The latter is not mentioned anywhere in the linking command.

One thing you could try is to copy the entire subtree /opt/X11/include/X11/* to /opt/local/include. (Perhaps this can be solved by making a symbolic link, but I know little about that). If the includes work, you might get a similar problem with the actual libraries.
