kramerxiita · 2008-09-20 01:07:43

I use openbox and don't like gmrun, so i make a package for fbrun from Fluxbox.

Here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20075

Options:

-font [font name] Text font
-title [title name] Set title
-text [text] Text input
-w [width] Window width in pixels
-h [height] Window height in pixels
-display [display string] Display name
-pos [x] [y] Window position in pixels
-nearmouse Window position near mouse
-fg [color name] Foreground text color
-bg [color name] Background color
-na Disable antialias
-hf [history file] History file to load (default ~/.fbrun_history)
-help Show this help

First release: patch to change history file from ~/.fluxbox/fbrun_history to ~/.fbrun_history

Screen:

In screenshot i use the options "fbrun -tltle Executar -font Sans:9 -h 23 -w 280

UPDATE 1.5-3: All patches are optional.

Doesn't it do the opposite?

I like this one, but why this patching? What if someone use it with another WM (=> config file in ~/.fluxbox/)? I think such patch isn't the philosophy of Arch, you may consider to drop it
Good work, anyway.

Eh, now I understand. 'fbrun' conflicts with 'fluxbox' and I also thought you move it to ~/.fluxbox... What's wrong with my reading skills today So in this case, the patch isn't that illogical, but anyways, Arch=only as patching as necessary

I think this confused me ... so maybe I still can read

Honestly, I don't see any advantages over gmrun.

Mr Green · 2008-09-24 16:03:56

yay! gmrun does what it says on the tin!

And, for you, what the Gmrun advantage over Fbrun?

Default: ~/.fluxbox/.fbrun_history

With patch: ~/.fbrun_history.

But is bettler make this patch optional too. I make this later.

But if anyone use Fluxbox, don't need install fbrun. So, why have .fluxbox directory?

Tab completion displays the possible results when there are more than one, and it also looks better to me.
To each his own

"Tab completion displays the possible results"

In fbrun too!

But i prefer for window decoration!

Didn't you switch files while making this patch? According to what I see ~/.fbrun_history becomes ~/.fluxbox/fbrun_history ... which is Allan pointing at.

Optional is good, although in this case it isn't illogical to drop the .fluxbox directory, as I said.

Patch make ~/.fbrun_history

Fluxbox default is ~/.fluxbox/fbrun_history

If don't use Fluxbox, only fbrun, i don't want fluxbox directory.

Patch is correct and make .fbrun_history without fluxbox directory.

So ~/.fluxbox/fbrun_history becomes ~/.fbrun_history.

Install and you see.

The patch file is indeed going the opposite way. However, it looks correct because it applies reversed. Remove the --batch switch and you'll get a nice warning:

Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n]

Here's what the --batch switch does:

-t or --batch
Suppress questions like -f, but make some different assumptions:
skip patches whose headers do not contain file names (the same as
-f); skip patches for which the file has the wrong version for the
Prereq: line in the patch; and assume that patches are reversed if
they look like they are.

Also, you don't have to accidentally the whole fluxbox just to get fbrun. Just flip lines 33-34 in the PKGBUILD so that it reads:

  cd ${srcdir}/fluxbox-1.1.1/util/fbrun
  make || return 1

As for the patch, do what you did the first time, but put "fluxbox-1.1.1/util/fbrun/main.cc" first and your modified "main.cc" second.

Thanks, foutrelis.

Update with your tips.

Thanks, again.
