Subject: libxpm-3.5.7-w32-src package on website
Date: Sat, 20 Feb 2010 19:58:26 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B80A152.6090905@gmail.com> (raw)
I was trying to compile Emacs Pretest 23.1.92 on Windows with the
libxpm-3.5.7-w32-src from the website and configure always showed this
error:
XPM support is missing. It is required for color icons in the toolbar.
Install libXpm development files or use --without-xpm
Important libraries are missing. Fix these issues before running make.
I investigated further and found two things:
1. When compiling on Windows simx.h is included by xpm.h but simx.h is
not included in the source package. It is not needed to compile libxmp
itself but when compiling emacs with xpm support it is needed.
After including simx.h in the include path, the config log shows this:
In file included from junk.c:2:
D:/devel/emacs/libXpm-3.5.7/include/X11/xpm.h:320: error: syntax error
before "extern"
junk.c:3: error: syntax error before "main"
The failed program was:
#define FOR_MSW 1
#include "X11/xpm.h"
main (){}
2. The version of xpm.h included in the libxpm-3.5.7-w32-src package
(v1.2) contains _XFUNCPROTOBEGIN and _XFUNCPROTOEND. However, these
macros are not defined anywhere, that's why configure fails.
xpm.h v1.3, which I got from the libxpm source package from the GnuWin32
website, does not contain the _XFUNCPROTOBEGIN/END macros but
explicitely uses
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
and
#ifdef __cplusplus
} /* for C++ V2.0 */
#endif
With this version 1.3 of xpm.h configure works fine without any other
dependencies. BTW, these are the only differences between v1.2 and v1.3
of xpm.h.
So, I am wondering, would it be possible to
a) include simx.h in the libxpm package provided at
http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/?
b) upgrade xpm.h to v1.3?
Thanks,
Christoph
