Hello, haven't got any news from that old project in a long time.
There are a few reasons why this message would occur, these are standard issues with any xwindow software (all linux softwares with GUIs):
- Your system does not have Xwindow installed
- Your Xwindow is not running (you're using a command line only system)
- You're trying to build it through ssh from another computer.
- The environment variable DISPLAY is not defined for some other reasons.
You could fix whichever reasons I mentioned above or you could avoid having the issue by removing the "-showoutput" option from the command line (you could edit the Makefile to remove it, but I thought I removed it long ago? not sure), seeing the result live is purely optional and was just an unecessary nice-to-have.
I see that the version on sourceforge was 0.601 but my latest was 0.602 where I fixed the Makefile to use a somewhat newer order of linking libraries with gcc (and maybe other details I don't remember):
Since sourceforge dropped CVS and I'm not interested in fiddling with their conversion process I switched to github where you can find my latest version: https://github.com/meantux/stills2dv

Hi, you right i removed -showoutput and it works fine.
Great work you made, thank you!
