nanogui: Thread: Problem facing while installing nano X in Debian Base

Hi All,
While am trying to install microwindows 0.91 on debian base system, am
getting a error message like

" /home/siji/microwindows-0.91/src/mwin/winevent.c:18: error: static
declaration of 'abs' follows non-static declaration
make[1]: *** [/home/siji/microwindows-0.91/src/obj/mwin/winevent.o] Error 1
make: *** [subdir-/home/siji/microwindows-0.91/src/mwin] Error 2."

Can you pls help me to resolve this.

With Regards

Hi Siji,

I too had this problem on debian and solved it somehow, but  
unfortunately can't remember exactly the way I did this. In my opinion  
it had to do with a wrong compiler version. Currently I'm using gcc4.1  
for building microwindows as it did not compile with version 4.3 or  
later. Please check your config file carefully, too and check if all  
dependencies are installed (libs...)

Good luck,
Marius

I had the same error on ubuntu 8.10 gcc 4.3.2 and just removed the
static declaration from the function. If your on 32bit this should be
all you need. If your using a 64bit system I have another unrelated
patch that I found in the mailing list archives that I needed.

Thanks

Hi,
 This is not  problem with debain based system,i had faced same problem for
Linux machine, i had solved with following method may be it will be useful
for u try this one.


actual code is like this in mwin/winevent.c file
if !(DOS_TURBOC | DOS_QUICKC | _MINIX | VXWORKS )
static int
abs(int n)
{
        return n >= 0? n: -n;
}
#endif

i had changed to (added Linux option)
if !(DOS_TURBOC | DOS_QUICKC | _MINIX | VXWORKS | LINUX)
static int
abs(int n)
{
        return n >= 0? n: -n;
}
#endif
