Patch:
1. Remove default include files path (if this path doesn't exist, execution fails - bad)
2. change popen mode from "r" to "w" - otherwise no output
3. ensure pclose after popen so that we don't get zombie process
4. close pid from g_spawn_async
5 add version numbering so we know which version of sit this is.
6. modify build process so that it is 64-bit compatible (should still work on 32-bit)
7. modify build process so that it tests correctly


jamesbond,

Thank you for the improvements.
The original sit-master binary compiled by technosaurus runs in Puppy precise 5.4.1 and this one failed after patching.....

Code:
 ./build
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/cckw5xNo.o: undefined reference to symbol 'g_file_monitor_file'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'g_file_monitor_file' is defined in DSO /usr/lib/libgio-2.0.so.0 so try adding it to the linker command line
/usr/lib/libgio-2.0.so.0: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


I added the link to -L/usr/lib/libgio-2.0.so.0 on the command line and that didn't make any difference.

I think it would be great to have this generally in Puppy and ideally one version for all, but I don't know enough about compiling.

Regards,
s
(EDIT: I just tried to compile the master-sit original and got the same error, so something must be different in Puppy Precise 5.4.1, even though the binary included works)

I agree.

This is how to fix the compile it recent puppies (tested in my homebrew slackware-based 32-bit puplet). Do it after you apply the patch.

Change line 7 in "build" from
Code:
sit.c -o sit -lgtk-x11-2.0 && strip --strip-all -R .note -R .comment sit
To
Code:
sit.c -o sit -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgio-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 && strip --strip-all -R .note -R .comment sit
Note the addition of -lgio-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0.

The easier way to compile without having to remember all this thingamagic is
Code:
sit.c -o sit $(pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0) && strip --strip-all -R .note -R .comment sit
but technosaurus will disapprove of it Laughing (because, although it does make it easier to compile, it causes the compile to pull in unnecessary dependencies and make it slightly larger).

I think I was adding the -Wl,--as-needed flag too, which tells the linker to look in the deps. Amazingly it builds and runs fine on windows, so I would guess its the hacky canonical patches. I cant' check the puppy build right now since my classes all require windows and/or a full java sdk.

-btw thanks for the patches

jamesbond,

Thanks. It worked nicely.

In case anyone wants the compiled binary made in Precise 5.4.3, I've attached it here.

is it possible to set the tooltip as a command instead of a fixed string?
So when the mouse is hovering, the cmd is executed and the output is displayed in the tooltip...

You can set something up in your control script to modify the tooltip file ... either by periodically running said command or running it based on some event.
