I've downloaded the source code of jwm 2.3.6 and compiled it successfully in tahr 6.0.2. After running ./configure I just run new2dir make install there was a directory to build a .pet package from compiled sources and files. Though, there's a difference. Installed version of jwm is in /usr/bin. Compiled version pf jwm is in /usr/local/bin. There's another difference. - /usr/etc/system.jwmrc (installed version) - /usr/local/etc/system.jwmrc (compiled version) Do I need to change anything on compiler options to get the jwm binary into /usr/bin or shall I move this just manually to /usr/bin in the directory containing compiled files? Here's a package posted by mfb. Attached are those jwm 2.3.6 versions (32bit & 64bit) that are compiled by myself. I have tested and am still running the jwm 2.3.6 included in the attached .pet packages in: - tahr 6.0.2 - tahr 6.0.5 - tahr64 6.0.5 - unicorn 6.0 - vivid beta2 No problems, no issues so far. Edit: Found at least now this issue to suppress scrolling through the desktops.

Try something like ./configure --build=i486-t2-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc _________________ http://audio.online-convert.com/ <-- excellent site http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/A-codecs/ <-- Codec Test Files http://html5games.com/ <-- excellent HTML5 games  |

That worked out of the box and JWM is running. Version 2.3.6. Thanks!

There just another difference I noticed after compiling and before creating the .pet package. The compiled jwm binary inside of the source package is sized at 785 kb. The one that has found its place in the directory to create the .pet package from -as well as the one installed- is sized at 199 kb.

make install strips the binary and any library files during installation
PS: but " make DESTDIR=/my/app/folder install " doesn't strip the files. _________________ Carolina: Recent Repository Additions  |

Ok, I see. Thanks. The 32bit jwm binary compiled in tahr 602 seems to work well. Also the right-clicked menu. I'd included the binary and other files into my binaries32_tahr_6.0.2.sfs which loads at boot up to a top layer, so it will override the installed jwm binary. Compiler options used:
I tried to compile in tahr64 605 using this compiler options:
JWM remains functional after doing new2dir make install. I'd included the binary and other files into my binaries64_tahr64_6.0.5.sfs which loads also at boot up to a top layer, so it will override also the installed jwm binary. Though, the graphical desktop refuses to appear on the screen. Checking for jwm -version at the prompt returned a wrong ELF class on a library ...X11.so.6. Do I need some special options to compile for 64bit in 64bit (terminal output mentioned being compiled for x86_64). Oh, I should make clear: I had the 32bit compatibility sfs loaded when compiling in tahr64 605. That's an issue, probably? _________________ RSH "you only wanted to work your Puppies in German", "you are a separatist in that you want Germany to secede from Europe" (musher0)

Ok, I'm answering to my own questions!
Rebooted tahr64 605 without to load the 32bit compatibility sfs. Removed all the .o files and the jwm binary from previously compiling of 64bit. Used:
After doing a new2dir make install the jwm binary returns at 205 kb (previous compiled binary had equal size to the 32bit version (199 kb)). Again I'd included the binary and other files into my binaries64_tahr64_6.0.5.sfs which loads at boot up to a top layer, so it will override the installed jwm binary. Rebooted and... ...the graphical desktop appears on the screen!
Currently running tahr64 605 by the compiled jwm 2.3.6. I will add those two packages to the opening opst of this topic (just a few seconds to go). _________________ RSH "you only wanted to work your Puppies in German", "you are a separatist in that you want Germany to secede from Europe" (musher0)

Aahhh, how to know that...
Thanks. Though, clean is not listed as an option (terminal output) at: make --help. _________________ RSH "you only wanted to work your Puppies in German", "you are a separatist in that you want Germany to secede from Europe" (musher0)

make clean works about 98% of the time with most apps

Hi. Now running tahr 6.0.2 plus jwm 2.3.6 for some hours, I found a small issue (though, to me it's not that small). I don't like JWM's function to scroll through the desktops by mouse-wheel, so I included the code below into my /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal.
Though, this doesn't work anymore in JWM 2.3.6. Using the mouse-wheel with mouse-pointer pointing to the desktop, scrolls again through the desktops. Anyone any knowledge available of how to suppress scrolling through the desktops by mouse-wheel in JWM 2.3.6? _________________ RSH "you only wanted to work your Puppies in German", "you are a separatist in that you want Germany to secede from Europe" (musher0)

Does not work in Slacko 5.6. Desktop and tray areas are visible, but without any content. No ROX pinboard either. Funny, I haven't had a problem with any version in the past, even with those that were not compiled for my system.

no success in precise but it works well for me in tahr64--thanks, LP. as to the 4/5 menu--just make them buttons or root menus or something other than annoying (i had ten menus and they still functioned (including scroll up and down) after the 2.3.6-64 jwm pet was installed). over the pager the wheel still strolls the desktops so you don't entirely rid yourself of the behavior with my suggestion. or, you could take Mochi up on his suggestion to post elsewhere for a suggestion. besides, i'm sure he's got a better solution by now.
there's fairly good evidence i don't know what i'm doing:
from http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=925679#925679
(i'm just trying to make light of it. i really liked that installation...)  
[one of the best things about puppy is getting used to things like this/i was so close to going ahead and backing up the thing, or booting pfix=ram...] |

Killed the installation? Hhmmm... To avoid such issues that's why I posted these info:

and to further inform is why i posted
i understood the risks and accept the results. just passing along what i found and giving some additional info: pfixram is helpful, backups are helpful, you run a risk if you try the 32 bit pet in Precise. it merely failed for Mochi in Slacko 5.6--maybe that's the only risk standard Precise Pups run--mine's pretty heavily modified (especially as far as jwm goes) and is based on a patched 571 (save folder ability courtesy of gyro and mavrothal). ymmv, hth, and all that. also, thanks again for your efforts. i wasn't being facetious--the stuff doesn't make itself and you stated what it worked on. i sometimes test stuff--"cutting edge" implies some risks, and the thing didn't exist until you made it--it was a cutting edge pet, at least as far as Precise goes. thanks for the opportunity to test, thanks for the working pet i'm currently using in at least one tahr 64 installation (i'll probably upgrade the other shortly). |
