[ddccontrol-devel] Packaging for Debian

[Roberto C. S. <ro...@fa...>]

I finally made some time to go back and finish up packaging version 0.2.
However, I have run into an issue.  Debian Sarge, which I am currently
running, does not have a package for libXinerama.so.  There is only a
package for libXinerama.a.  This causes the build to fail on my machine
when building gddccontrol:

main.c: In function `main':
main.c:312: error: `xineramacurrent' undeclared (first use in this
function)
main.c:312: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
main.c:312: error: for each function it appears in.)
main.c:307: warning: unused variable `event_base'
main.c:307: warning: unused variable `error_base'

The variable xineramacurrent is defined in notebook.h, but is surrounded
like this:

#ifdef HAVE_XINERAMA
int xineramacurrent;
int xineramanumber;
XineramaScreenInfo* xineramainfo;
#endif

The cuplrit in main.c is not similarly surrounded.  I am working on a
branch that I created from the Release-0_2 tag.  I noticed that this is
no longer a problem in more recent CVS versions.  If necessary, I can
wait for a new release.

Any suggestions on what to do?
