Compilation error in darcs xmonad-contrib
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? Thanks for any help, Toby -- Dr T. S.

Hi, I would suggest patching the ICCCMFocus file be removing the internal declaration of atom_WM_TAKE_FOUCS... so remove the lines 33-36. Regards, Jan On Tue, Feb 08, 2011 at 12:36:43PM +0100, Toby Cubitt wrote:

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

It compiles fine for me with the same versions of ghc and X11. Try this and let us know if you are still having problems: - First, have you pulled all the most recent patches from the xmonad core and contrib repositories with 'darcs pull'? - cd into the directory with the xmonad core repo and do 'cabal clean; cabal install'. - Do the same (cabal clean; cabal install) in the contrib repo. -Brent

OK.
- First, have you pulled all the most recent patches from the xmonad core and contrib repositories with 'darcs pull'?
It appears so: $ cd xmonad/; darcs pull Pulling from "http://code.haskell.org/xmonad"... No remote changes to pull in! $ cd ../XMonadContrib; darcs pull Pulling from "http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib"... No remote changes to pull in!
- cd into the directory with the xmonad core repo and do 'cabal clean; cabal install'. - Do the same (cabal clean; cabal install) in the contrib repo.
Hmmm. I'm using the gentoo darcs ebuilds, and don't have the cabal command line tool installed. I could have installed it temporarily for testing, but instead I tried taking the sledgehammer approach, nuked the xmonad and XMonadContrib repositories completely, and installed afresh. I seem to recall trying this before without success (sometime before code.haskell.org went down). But I should have tried it again, because this time the clean install worked fine. Maybe I was hitting the old atom_WM_TAKE_FOCUS issues when I tried before, and somehow the old code hadn't been cleaned out properly by darcs pull. Who knows. Anyway, thanks a lot for helping me out, and sorry for the noise. Toby -- Dr T. S.
