Compiling
by Mark Veinot - Jun 11th 2002 07:13:00
Excellent - XScreenSaver 4.05 compiled flawlessly this time.
Well, almost flawlessly... it fails to detect the Mesa that comes
with X 4.x and tries to link against libMesaGL/GLU and not libGL/GLU... I
imagine this is more of an "X isn't conforming to the rest of the world"
thing since it's done this for some time now. So I should probably just
make my symlinks and shut up :)
Just thought I'd mention it though.

4.04 build badly broken
by Mark Veinot - Jun 1st 2002 07:58:31
4.04 absolutely refused to build on my machine. It
detected XML2 and GTK2 during configure, but then
complained it couldn't find libxml at the message at
the end of configure. I tried to build it anyway and it
seemed to be trying to use BOTH GTK1 and GTK2,
and
failed with errors about gdk_pixbuf defines.
Xscreensaver 4.03 builds perfectly, and so does any
other J Random Package I download (X 4.2.0, KDE
3.0.1, GIMP, XMMS, Licq, etc, etc, all build without a
hitch) I love XScreensaver and want to keep using it,
please fix the configure scripts so I can continue to
use it.

I managed to get around configure not finding libxml2. Find the line in
configure where is says "pkg_check_version xml2 1.0", and change
the "xml2" to "libxml-2.0", the same as it is further
up the file.
It shouldn't complain about a lack of XML now, but I think I'm getting the
same error when it comes to compiling. I get as far as hacks/xpm-pixmap.c
before it barfs.

I managed to get further, by temporarily hiding
all allusions to gtk-2.0 in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig but
then
all the hacks (every single one!) fails with a
Segfault?! I don't see how it could manage to get this
broken from one release to another?

I got it working now by changing the line that read
pkg_check_version xml 1.0
to pkg_check_version libxml 1.0
(make sure you have libxml installed - I don't mean
libxml2) Also, I think JWZ is working on this a little,
there is now a version 4.04.2 on the site which I
used... it seems to have helped a little - modifications
are still needed though. And make sure you hide
gtk-2.0 and friends from the configure script or else it
will link them in as well as gtk1 and I think that may
have been causing the segfaults.

Coooollll!
by William - Jan 16th 2000 11:57:03
Very nice. One problem - on the blue screen of death screensaver (my
personal favorite) whenever I change the speed from maximum to anything
slower, the screensaver just sits on one crash screen without displaying
the others. Bug? Or do I just need to be more patient?

Lament and Mesa
by jwz - Jan 5th 1999 18:44:39
As far as I can tell, the problem with Lament is really a
bug in Mesa. I haven't figured out how to work around it.
It works great with OpenGL on Irix or Solaris...
BTW, would folks be interested in an xscreensaver mailing list?
There's an xlock mailing list that has almost no traffic, so I'm not sure
an xscreensaver list would actually be used; but it might be nice to have
somewhere to discuss ideas for new screenhacks.

I just thought I'd say that this is no longer an issue, and that I'm
running it with mesa daily. No probs.

It's still an issue for some people. I'm using the nVidia GLX drivers
along with XFree86 4.0.2 and I still can't manage to open a textured
portal to another dimension :(. I think Pulsar also falls over with the
same problem.

transformed my computer to a new dimension.

I'd subscribe to it.
One day when I have some time to hack a little not-for-work code, I'm
going to contribute one or two hacks.
