Cannot compile on debian sid about xdotool HOT 16 CLOSED

@kenorb thanks for the poke! I reviewed and merged it. <3

from xdotool.

I don't know what "debian sid" means :(

However, based on the error message you get, I would suspect you're using an unsupported version of libxkbcommon?

What does dpkg -l | grep xkb output?

from xdotool.

sid=unstable

dpkg -l | grep xkb

I don't know much about debian's 32/64bit support, but I see what appears to be libxkbcommon 0.4.1 for i386, not 64bit.

Is your system 64bit? Perhaps install the 64bit libraries?

What is the output of uname -a ?

from xdotool.

No, my system is 32bit.

Can you put the output of this command on gist.github.com and link it here?
readelf -s $(dpkg -L libxkbcommon0 | grep libxkbcommon.so.0 | head -1)

from xdotool.

Sure:

Alrighty, so the functions' sthere, probably a linker problem. I'll try to reproduce! Thanks for all the details :)

from xdotool.

On Ubuntu 14.04, I can't reproduce this.

• libxdo is linked correctly against libxkbcommon:

% ldd ./libxdo.so | grep xkb
        libxkbcommon.so.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxkbcommon.so.0 (0x00007f8412075000)

Thinking outloud - The error you get doesn't even make sense to me. The linker error with ./libxdo.so comes when compiling xdotool. There is no reason for the linker to attempt to resolve a xdotool's dependency on libxdo through to any nested dependencies. I am super confused!

In the xdotool directory where you are building things. Is there a libxdo.so file? If so, can you attach the output of ldd libxdo.so ?

from xdotool.

Ah, there you go:
ldd libxdo.so

    linux-gate.so.1 (0xb7789000)
    libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 (0xb762b000)

I've the same problem on Ubuntu 15.04 (vivid). Above readelf shows xkb_keysym_to_utf32 present and ldd something similar:

Simple steps to reproduce in VM:

1. Install vagrant.

2. Create the following Vagrantfile file in empty folder:

   Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
     config.vm.box = "ubuntu/vivid64"
     config.vm.box_version = "20150722.0.0"
     config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.22.22"
   end
   

3. Run: vagrant up && vagrant ssh.

4. Once you're in VM, install dependencies:

   sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libxtst-dev libxinerama-dev libxkbcommon-dev
   

5. Clone and make the sources:

   git clone https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool && make -C xdotool

That does the output of pkg-config --libs xkbcommon say?

from xdotool.

It's:

$ pkg-config --libs xkbcommon
-lxkbcommon
