I’d like to try this again one day

A textmode windowing environment.

2009-02-16 – 0.6.1 ∞

After seeing some mailing list activity, I wanted to check it out again!

Configured and compiled just fine. Sweet.

twfindtwin: error while loading shared libraries: libTw.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/usr/local/bin/twin_real: error while loading shared libraries: libTutf.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The solution is:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/
twin

On the commandline, it complained about not having gpm. It said I could control-c out, but that just continued on to the program. =/

I installed gpm, but it wasn’t noticed. Sigh.

I had to use:

gpm -m /dev/mouse -t ps2

It works, and it’s neat. Now I just have to figure out how to change the textmode resolution.

2007-07-22 – 0.5.1 ∞

make gives:

libTw.c:1636: error: static declaration of ‘DeleteAllListeners’ follows non-static declaration
libTw.c:1253: error: previous implicit declaration of ‘DeleteAllListeners’ was here
make[2]: *** [libTw.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/public/working/twin-0.5.1/libs/libTw'
make[1]: *** [build-dir-libTw] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/public/working/twin-0.5.1/libs'
make: *** [build-dir-libs] Error 2

I couldn’t solve this and just gave up.
