gnome-mag + compsoite + full screen

[cerdiogenes]

Hello, guys!

Sorry...but I'm having the same problem as StevenKannel. Even with sudo I still have the same problem. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for all the help.

Take care.

Can you post the new error messages?

Best regards,
Carlos.

Here is what I get when I run

sudo make install

while in the unzipped directory

Hi,
I got Edgy installed today (I'm multibooting). I had trouble getting Orca to speak but somehow I managed that (I have no idea how), so now I'm looking into full-screen magnification again.
I installed the ATI-drivers and then I enabled composite, but I too get that one make error.
I've got another question: The title says "full-screen" so I was wondering if I have to go into xorg.conf and add the dummy driver and so on, for this one to work.

No, you don't have to add a dummy driver. Full-screen magnification is achieved throw COMPOSITE.

I downloaded the tarball provided by jason and I will test it here. The errors being reported are very strange IMO and have no idea why they are happening, so I will test the tarball by myself.

Best regards,

I get a sligthly different error when running "#: sudo make install":

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/kadu/downloads/gnome-mag-0.14/po'
/home/jgrieves/packages/gnome-mag/gnome-mag-0.14/install-sh -d /usr/local/share/locale

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/kadu/downloads/gnome-mag-0.14/po'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

The way to resolve this was to type:

./configure
sudo make install

Then I started gnome-mag from the local directory:

#: /usr/local/bin/magnifier -fmz 2 --ignore-composite=0

configure: error: X development libraries not found

I'm not sure what it means by "X development libraries not found" as I have build-essential installed if it has anything to do with that.

[jasongrieves]

sorry guys, you won't be able to build it because you don't have the development libs. The purpose of make install should just be a quick and dirty install of my compiled stuff to your /usr/local.

the fact that you can't remove the idl for the magnifier baffles me. Especially since you are typing "sudo make install"

/usr/bin/install: cannot remove `/usr/local/share/idl/gnome-mag-1.0/GNOME_Magnifier.idl': Permission denied

is this correct?

I thought that gnome-mag used the idl from /usr/share/idl/gnome-mag-1.0

If all else fails, you can just run the binary from within the tarball. you have to navigate to the folder and such, but this should work...

I get a sligthly different error when running "#: sudo make install":

I guess make was there depending on install-sh in my directory. I'll try to find a better solution while not overwriting gnome-mag in edgy. I can probably just build a gnome-mag-beta.deb and let it install to /usr/local. I'm sure this goes against some of the polocies of debian, but so does make/make install

[Cabb]

I can't do make either, so I tried running it directly from the archive-folder, with the command-line parameters mentioned. However, I get a black screen, with a cross-hair and the mouse pointer in the middle, and when I do ctrl+c to close it, I get back but the terminal window has resized itself so that no text is visible. Any idea what is happening here?

[fredskronk]

I have tried all of the solutions mentioned here and none of them seems to be working. Will there ewer be a beta.deb and in that case when will it be released? To get full screen magnification (even if it's just a beta) is the only thing i need to be able to make the change to Linux.
