Hi,
I tried to compile kahakai (a window manager with ruby support) on a Slackware 9 box, with --enable-ruby.
It stops with some error like
"swig_wrapper_ruby.cc:983: invalid conversion from const KaScreen*' to KaScreen*’"
Have tried swig 1.3.16 and .17, as well as latest CVS, none working.
Anyone here that successfully compiled with ruby support? Which swig did
you use?
Have a nice day!
Regards,
Magnus Engström
Hi!
“swig_wrapper_ruby.cc:983: invalid conversion from
const KaScreen*' toKaScreen*'”
Try explicit type conversion
(KaScreen*) i_don_not_know_what_is_in_line_983

I used CVS swig to compile kahakai from kahakai CVS a few days before the
0.5 release. Kahakai is rapidly evolving (that is to say, unstable). In
order to successfully compile with Ruby support, I had to use a fully
upgraded Debian SID box (as well as CVS kahakai and CVS swig).
The best way to get help with this is to get on irc.freenode.net, channel
#kahakai. They are very helpful–they can at least tell you what bleeding
edge tools they are currently using.
Having a window manager that is scriptable in Ruby sounds like a great idea.
But the 0.5 release dropped my must-have merged windows feature, so I’ve
stopped following kahakai
