Hi Pablo:

You can of course always get the darcs version and edit the source code that invokes xmessage and make sure it doesn't do that. This may not be a great idea, though, because you might get terribly confused that some change you made in your xmonad.hs file seems to have no effect...because of a compile error you were not notified of. My point is: the way it's set up right now, the popping up of xmessage is your only indication that the recompile on restart failed.

Yes, tha's an option, but it's a bit too much to modify the source code to do that. If you run xmonad --recompile from the command line it's showed in stdout. On 25 September 2012 12:42, wrote:

If you prefer the command line, you can use "xmonad --recompile", which will dump its errors to stdout (or maybe stderr, I don't remember). When it doesn't give any output, then either "xmonad --restart" or mod+q.

Stdout, but it will still show a xmessage window D: On 25 September 2012 13:02, Brandon Allbery wrote:

That's a good idea :), could you point me to where is your "private bin directory" O_o? Regards, -- Pablo Olmos de Aguilera Corradini - @PaBLoX http://www.glatelier.org/ http://about.me/pablox/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/pablooda/ Linux User: #456971 - http://counter.li.org/

If you have to ask, you missed the point completely and this solution might be beyond you :( I basically told you how to do it yourself assuming basic Unix literacy.

I do, I just didn't completely understood the email :P, I thought you forgot some kind of link or something like that. Now reading slowly again I can see that I misread it :).
