Hi,
I've tried to run the beautiful Devilspie program on my AMD64 Shuttle XPC, so with the default Ubuntu package installed through the classis Ubuntu repository I've got thi error message:
mbrooker@Ubushut:~$ devilspie
devilspie: relocation error: devilspie: undefined symbol: _wnck_atom_get
This happend when I try to lauch any terminal by the Devilspie manipulation.
So after that I've tried to compile the source code by the Official Website:
http://www.burtonini.com/blog/computers/devilspie
The first error after "make" was this:
devilspie-action-resize.gob: In function `___1_devilspie_action_resize_run':
devilspie-action-resize.gob:75: error: too few arguments to function `wnck_window_unminimize'
make[2]: *** [devilspie-action-resize.o] Error 1
This happen due some changes on the libwnck libraries and can be fixed by an edit of the file devilspie-action-resize.gob under 'src' direcotry :
override (DevilsPie:Action) gboolean run(DevilsPie:Action *self (check null type), Wnck:Window *window (check null type)) {
DevilsPieActionResize *a = (DevilsPieActionResize*)self;
- guint32 timestamp; /* ADD THIS LINE */
/* Assume that a true/false tristate in a boolean context is correct */
/* Assume the user is not totally stupid and has not set both
maximize and minimize */
if (a->minimized == TRI_TRUE)
wnck_window_minimize(window);
else if (a->minimized == TRI_FALSE)
- wnck_window_unminimize(window, timestamp);
+ wnck_window_unminimize(window); /* NOW INSERT THE PREVIOUS DECLARED VARIABLE AND REMOVE THIS LINE
/* Handle full screen */
if (a->fullscreen != TRI_UNSET) {
g_print("fullscreen\n");
Simple modification that don't make me able to compile the source code, because now I've got another error:
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [devilspie] Error 1
And at this point I'll be very happy if somebody can explane to me where is the error :?:
Becasue I'm not be able to understand it!
OK, after this I've decided to make Devilspie works on my AMD64 Shuttle XPC by adding this custom repositories to my /etc/apt/sources.list :
deb http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/pure64 sid main
deb-src http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/pure64 sid main
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main
and after that:
apt-get install devilspie
So agree to the unauthenticated packages :
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
libwnck4
The following NEW packages will be installed:
devilspie libwnck4
0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 379 not upgraded.
Need to get 136kB of archives.
After unpacking 492kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
libwnck4 devilspie
Install these packages without verification [y/N]?
OK! This is an extreme method that cannot be use, but now my Devilspie work perfectly on my machine!
I hope to be helpful for somebody by posting my .devilspie.xml code too :mrgreen:
