xmonad/xmobar issues

linux-ka · 2010-05-08 21:59:02

Hi,

long time i had no problems using xmonad + xmonad-contrib + xmobar-darcs .
Since ghc and xmobar-darcs have been updated, I cannot recompile it including the mail module. It never comiles, it gives me an error that hinotify is not available. But i installed it. Now I cannot use the mail function of xmobar, which makes it quite interesting for me.
Unfortunatelly I don't have a *pkg.tar.gz of a former version :-(

Does someone have an idea why I do have this issue and how it can be solved?

thx for advice!!

greetings,

Linux-ka

What's your error message? Doing "cabal configure -fwith_inotify; cabal build" works just fine for me.

Hi, well when installing via yourt I receive while compiling the following error:

[10 of 29] Compiling Plugins.Mail     ( Plugins/Mail.hs, dist/build/xmobar/xmobar-tmp/Plugins/Mail.o )

Plugins/Mail.hs:18:0:
    Warning: The import of `System.IO' is redundant
               except perhaps to import instances from `System.IO'
             To import instances alone, use: import System.IO()

After installing I cannot use my old config for showing incoming mails, it simply does not work.

When compiling manually via ghc (which is actually not my aim) I receive an error about missing hinoitfy (which is definitely installed).

Looks like it's just a warning, not an error. I don't know what's wrong, since I'm not using the mail plugin. You could file an issue on the upstream website.

ok, thx. so, here's anybody using the mail plugin?

I have the mail plugin compiled, but it does not recognize the Run Mail command in my .xmobarrc. I gone so far as to remove the pre-processor statements to ensure the plugin is compiled, but it doesn't ever allow the Mail plugin to be run from the config file.
