For a little while now, I've been unable to compile xmonad-contrib from darcs. Now that the repo is back up, I tried again, but am still getting the same error as before:
[ 34 of 212] Compiling XMonad.Hooks.ICCCMFocus ( XMonad/Hooks/ICCCMFocus.hs, dist/build/XMonad/Hooks/ICCCMFocus.o )
XMonad/Hooks/ICCCMFocus.hs:43:17: Ambiguous occurrence `atom_WM_TAKE_FOCUS' It could refer to either `XMonad.Hooks.ICCCMFocus.atom_WM_TAKE_FOCUS', defined at XMonad/Hooks/ICCCMFocus.hs:34:0 or `XMonad.atom_WM_TAKE_FOCUS', imported from XMonad at XMonad/Hooks/ICCCMFocus.hs:27:0-12
This is with ghc 6.12.3, and version 1.5.0.0 of the haskell X11 libraries. Is there something amiss with my xmonad/haskell setup, or is there an error in the current darcs xmonad-contrib?
I would suggest patching the ICCCMFocus file be removing the internal declaration of atom_WM_TAKE_FOUCS... so remove the lines 33-36.
That did the trick. Thanks! (Once again, I'm amazed by the speed and helpfulness of the comments on this list.)
If I understand right, this internal definition is conflicting with another definition of atom_WM_TAKE_FOCUS from somewhere else. Is this because there's something squiffy about my xmonad installation, or does something need to be fixed in xmonad-contrib?
Someone more knowledgeable than me will need to answer this, I think...
You shouldn't need to do this. There were some issues with atom_WM_TAKE_FOCUS recently, but to my knowledge they have been fixed in the most recent darcs versions. At this point I would recommend doing a 'darcs revert' in both core and contrib repositories, then following the instructions in my other email, otherwise you are likely to get into a sticky repository situation down the road. -Brent
