How to recompile Login.app?

[Anonymous]

I downloaded and installed Login.app and it works great!   I wanted to recompile it with a more Darwin appropriate graphic, but when I run the build script  I get the following error .

Creating makefile...
mv -f Makefile Makefile.bak
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config
------------------------------------------------------------
Compiling...
g++ -D_GNU_SOURCE   -c -o Main.o Main.cc
make: g++: Command not found
make: *** [Main.o] Error 127
Done.
------------------------------------------------------------

Any help would be appreciated.

Try this.

su root
ln -s /usr/bin/c++ /usr/local/bin/g++

If you are porting to GNU-Darwin, you should consult the porting tips page.

Hey, if you succeed in swapping in a new theme, please let me know how, because I haven't been able to do it yet.  Themes have better support in version 2 of Login.app, but I have not yet been able to compile it.  Here is a cool theme from Largo for GNU-Darwin.

I have compiled Login.app version 1 and 2 and placed the tar files at

In the Login.app-1.2.1 tar file I have replaced the GNULinux .xpm  with the theme.png from Largo.

Thanks so much for you work on Login.app!  I tried version 2 and it seems to work great.  I plan to make a small change to the Preference file, then add to to the distribution.

Thanks for the tips.  I was able to swap in the theme you posted after converting it the a .xpm file. There are still a few things I need to cleanup.  Hopefully on Saturday I will have some time to finish it up and write up some directions.

Thanks again,
