Compling problem with w3m-mouse 0.5.3

pingpong · 2015-04-14 10:02:34

There is a problem in compling w3m-mouse provided by abs

main.c:2661:5: warning: ignoring return value of ‘system’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result]
     system(myEditor(Editor, shell_quote(tmpf),
     ^
<builtin>: recipe for target 'main.o' failed
make: *** [main.o] Error 1
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...
The build failed.

I then found out that it was discussed in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150464.

So I grapped the PKGBUILD from
https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … /w3m/trunk

But still got the following error:

Any idea of how to fix that?

Moving to AUR Issues...

runical · 2015-04-14 18:53:44

What does the new PKGBUILD look like? Please post it.

N.B. w3m-mouse is AUR, not ABS.

EDIT: I just tried building the packages in a clean chroot. Both failed indeed.

Regarding the official package, it seems that the configure script fails to detect and add the library libX11.so as dependency. A simple way to fix the error is to manually define the variable LIBS :

build() {
        cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}"
        export LIBS=-lX11
        ./configure \
                --prefix=/usr \
                --libexecdir=/usr/lib \
                --enable-image=x11,fb \
                --with-imagelib=imlib2 \
                --with-termlib=ncurses \
                --disable-w3mmailer \
                --disable-mouse\

        make
}

However it will still fail to build if you enable mouse support.

What exactly does this package do differently than the main w3m package in the repo? I use the regular package from the repo and have mouse support.

mauritiusdadd · 2015-04-15 16:49:37

well, it seem that it only enables mouse operation support:

http://w3m.sourceforge.net/MANUAL#Mouse wrote:

If w3m is compiled with mouse option and you are using xterm/kterm/rxvt (in this case, you have to set the TERM environment variable to `xterm' or `kterm'.) or GPM environment, you can use mouse for the navigation.
left click Move the cursor to the place pointed by the mouse cursor. If you click the cursor and it is on an anchor, follow the anchor.
middle click Back to the previous buffer.
right click Open pop-up menu. You can choose an item by clicking it.
left drag Scroll document. The default behavior is to grab the document and drag it. You can reverse the behavior (grab the window and drag it) with the option setting panel.

Oops! Sorry, it seems I had rolled my own w3m some time ago with mouse support - it just hasn't been update in the repos since then and I had forgot about it. I just reinstalled from the repos and lost mouse support ... Damn.

And my first attempt to rebuild it also failed. I'll have to look closer at this later as I do want to use the mouse with w3m too.

mauritiusdadd · 2015-04-16 12:02:18

Wow, the problem was caused only by a lower case x in the word x11 where it should be X11. For me, the following build function works fine and gives also the mouse support:

build() {
	cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}"
	./configure \
		--prefix=/usr \
		--libexecdir=/usr/lib \
		--enable-image=X11,fb \
		--with-imagelib=imlib2 \
		--with-termlib=ncurses \
		--disable-w3mmailer \

	make
}

Can anyone confirm that it works? Note that a clean build is required so you should remove the src directory or pass the option -C to makepkg.

-- edit: If it works, can this be considered as a packaging issue and should I fill a bug report?

Good catch mauritiusdadd, that works here. As that is just a typo in the PKGBUILD that is a packaging issue and should go to the archlinux bug tracker if it is not already there.

Thank you for the confirmation

-- edit: Bug report sent https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/44613

-- edit: The bug is now fixed, but the mouse support must be enabled manually.

This patch has completely broken functionalty of w3m image previews on my, and several other's system. (Had no issues before)

Why was x11 changed to X11?

Hi randynobx and welcome to the Forums

Please re-read the thread and read also the bug report: w3m failed to compile because there is no libx11.so, the correct name of the library is libX11.so.

I can confirm that inline images are not displayed anymore but I don't think it is caused by the patch because I tested it yesterday and it worked.

-- edit: ok, It seems that the configuration script checks explicitly if the option x11 (lowercase) is passed otherwise it disables the inline image displaying. The only way to ensure that w3m compiles and displays inline images is to revert back to lowercase x11 and export the variable LIBS=-lX11 as I explained in post #4... I filed a re-open request for the bug and as punishment for my careless checking I've just adopted and updated the AUR package w3m-mouse
