[sugar] Re: Installing Sugar on Ubuntu 6.06 Linux.

[Osmo Maatta]

Re-hello,

Second attempt.

I made a complete reinstallation of Sugar in Ubuntu Dapper and the verdict
is this:

gcc  -g -O2   -o matchbox-window-manager  main.o wm.o base_client.o
main_client.o toolbar_client.o toolbar_client_alt.o dockbar_client.o
dialog_client.o select_client.o desktop_client.o ewmh.o misc.oclient_common.o
keys.o list.o stack.o composite-engine.o session.o mbtheme.o
xml.o-L/home/moma/sugar-jhbuild/build/lib -lmb -lX11 -lXext -lpng12
-lXfixes
wm.o: In function
`wm_set_cursor_visibility':/home/moma/sugar-jhbuild/source/matchbox-window-manager/src/wm.c:2863:
undefined reference to `XFixesHideCursor'

  [1] rerun stage build
  [2] ignore error and continue to install
  [3] give up on module
  [4] start shell
  [5] go to stage force_checkout
  [6] go to stage configure
choice:
-------------------------------------------

Functions XFixesShowCursor()" and XFixesHideCursor() do not exist in Ubuntu
6.06's  libXfixes library (linked by gcc as -l Xfixes).
So I edited the
/home/moma/sugar-jhbuild/source/matchbox-window-manager/src/wm.c and
commented out the problematic lines (2 lines).

Then it compiled OK.
