Compile error: How to find problem in environment?
by Kai Grossjohann 18 Jun '07

18 Jun '07

On my MacOSX box, compiling xmonad fails with the following error message. On my Debian etch box, it works fine. Comparing ghc-pkg output, I note that the OSX box has more packages, and some in more recent versions, than etch. But I have no idea where to start looking for the problems. Below, please find (1) ghc-pkg list output for etch, (2) ghc-pkg list output for OSX, (3) build output for OSX. Just prior to sending the mail, I verified using "darcs pull" that my sources (and XMonadContrib) are up to date. tia, Kai (1) ghc-pkg list on etch: ketchup% ghc-pkg list /usr/lib/ghc-6.6/package.conf: Cabal-1.1.6, X11-1.2, X11-extras-0.1, base-2.0, (ghc-6.6), haskell98-1.0, mtl-1.0, parsec-2.0, readline-1.0, regex-base-0.71, regex-compat-0.71, regex-posix-0.71, rts-1.0, stm-2.0, template-haskell-2.0, unix-1.0 /home/kgrossjo/.ghc/i386-linux-6.6/package.conf: X11-1.2.2, X11-extras-0.2 (2) ghc-pkg list on OSX: marcie% ghc-pkg list /opt/local/lib/ghc-6.6.1/package.conf: Cabal-1.1.6.2, GLUT-2.1.1, HGL-3.1.1, HUnit-1.1.1, OpenGL-2.2.1, QuickCheck-1.0.1, X11-1.2.1, base-2.1.1, cgi-3001.1.1, fgl-5.4.1, filepath-1.0, (ghc-6.6.1), haskell-src-1.0.1, haskell98-1.0, html-1.0.1, mtl-1.0.1, network-2.0.1, parsec-2.0, readline-1.0, regex-base-0.72, regex-compat-0.71, regex-posix-0.71, rts-1.0, stm-2.0, template-haskell-2.1, time-1.1.1, unix-2.1, xhtml-3000.0.2 /Volumes/Data/Users/kai/.ghc/powerpc-darwin-6.6.1/package.conf: X11-1.2.2, X11-extras-0.2 (3) build output on OSX: marcie% make build runhaskell Setup.lhs clean cleaning... runhaskell Setup.lhs configure --user --prefix=/opt/sw/xmonad Configuring xmonad-0.2... configure: Dependency base>=2.0: using base-2.1.1 configure: Dependency X11>=1.2.1: using X11-1.2.2 configure: Dependency X11-extras>=0.2: using X11-extras-0.2 configure: Dependency mtl>=1.0: using mtl-1.0.1 configure: Dependency unix>=1.0: using unix-2.1 configure: Using install prefix: /opt/sw/xmonad configure: Binaries installed in: /opt/sw/xmonad/bin configure: Libraries installed in: /opt/sw/xmonad/lib/xmonad-0.2/ghc-6.6.1 configure: Private binaries installed in: /opt/sw/xmonad/libexec configure: Data files installed in: /opt/sw/xmonad/share/xmonad-0.2 configure: Using compiler: /opt/local/bin/ghc configure: Compiler flavor: GHC configure: Compiler version: 6.6.1 configure: Using package tool: /opt/local/bin/ghc-pkg configure: Using ar found on system at: /usr/bin/ar configure: No haddock found configure: No pfesetup found configure: Using ranlib found on system at: /usr/bin/ranlib configure: Using runghc found on system at: /opt/local/bin/runghc configure: No runhugs found configure: No happy found configure: No alex found configure: Using hsc2hs: /opt/local/bin/hsc2hs configure: No c2hs found configure: No cpphs found configure: No greencard found runhaskell Setup.lhs build Preprocessing executables for xmonad-0.2...

Statusbar gadgets: cpubar
by Robert Manea 18 Jun '07

18 Jun '07

Hi. Just in case anyone is interested here is another gadget for your dzen statusbar, a cpu usage meter. It was designed to work with Linux and relies on the existance of "/proc/stat". Usage: cpubar [-c <charcount>] [-s <symbol>] [-i <interval>] With: charcount = number of chars to be considered 100% (defaults to 25) symbol = a single character representing the corresponding percentage value (defaults to '=') interval = update interval in seconds (defaults to 1) Used with dzen it could looks like this: http://omploader.org/file/xmonad-cpubar.png Grab cpubar here: http://gotmor.googlepages.com/cpubar.c The commandline for the above shot: cpubar | \ dzen2 -bg '#aecfaa' -fg black -w 235 -ta l \ -fn '-*-profont-*-*-*-*-11-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859' \ -x 350 -e 'button1=exec:uterm -e htop' Have fun, Rob.

Issue 25 in xmonad: Float fixed-size windows
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 18 Jun '07

18 Jun '07

Issue 25: Float fixed-size windows http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=25 New issue report by nornagon: What steps will reproduce the problem? Create a window with a fixed size. (e.g, SDL_SetVideoMode() without SDL_RESIZABLE in the flags) What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The fixed-size window is subsumed into whatever the current layout is; i.e, its size request is not obeyed and chances are the program now clips weirdly (or crashes, depending). Windows created with a fixed size ought to be floated automatically. Dwm does this. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? HEAD. Debian linux.

named workspaces, tags and sticky windows
by Avi Rozen 17 Jun '07

17 Jun '07

Hi, I have several related questions regarding named workspaces: Dumb question first: how do I name a workspace? It seems to be possible according to this screenshot: http://www.xmonad.org/images/screen-rob-circle.png but I can't figure out how it's done... I like the way wmii generalized the workspace concept with tagging - is there any plan to support such a scheme? Can this be done with a contrib module? (note that in wmii a window with several tags may have different size/position in each tag-workspace to which it belongs). I'm guessing that this requires changes to the xmonad core - is this correct? In the meantime - is there a way to get a window to appear (possibly floating) on several or all workspaces (again: can this be done with a contrib module)? (I'm looking for a way to make a window "sticky" *and* "managed" - unlike dzen which is in the unmanaged border). Cheers, Avi.
