Autoaway not workin

[petteri@…]

I'm using gajim svn on Debian Unstable with Gnome and autoaway is not working.

[asterix]

could you go in /usr/lib/gajim, run python, and try import idle

is there any problem ?

[Petteri]

Here is some info from the python promt:

>>> import idle
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: ./idle.so: undefined symbol: XScreenSaverAllocInfo
>>>

do you have libxss1 installed ? does it work if you have it installed ?

[Petteri]

libxss1 is already installed.

[asterix]

could you try latest daily package ?

http://gajim.org/downloads.php#debian

[Petteri]

I already have the newest daily package in use.

[junglecow]

$ ( for F in /usr/lib/*.so; do strings "$F" | awk -v f="$F" '/XScreenSaverAllocInfo/{print f" "$0}'; done )
/usr/lib/libXss.so XScreenSaverAllocInfo
$

The problem is not that libXss is not installed, the problem is that idle.so is not linked against this library in the first place (as ldd clearly shows).

(Aside, I wonder if idle.so really needs to be linked against all those other libraries.)

[junglecow]

Okay, I just downloaded and unpacked the latest daily package. I don't have time to figure out how to install this now, but I ran ldd on it and this is the result:

$ ldd gajim/usr/lib/gajim/idle.so 
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7de8000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
$

Again, not linked against Xss.

[asterix]

in fact make doesn't build .so file, only .la

and make install install a bad .so file and a .la file

[junglecow]

make does build the .so file, it's in src/common/.libs/, and yes, it is bad.

It seems the XSCREENSAVER_LIBS macro isn't defined anywhere. However, saying XSCREENSAVER_LIBS=Xss in src/common/Makefile.am causes make to complain that it doesn't know how to build Xss. Clearly I have no idea what I'm doing here; someone familiar with autotools should have a look at it.

I ended up building it simply with

  gcc -shared -I/usr/include/python2.4 idle.c -lXss -o idle.so

and it's now working for me.

[junglecow]

Workaround for this bug, verified for Debian package of 0.10.1 as well as SVN:

• Download idle.c from: http://trac.gajim.org/browser/trunk/src/common/idle.c?format=raw
• say: gcc -Wall -O2 -shared -I/usr/include/python2.4 -lXss idle.c -o idle.so
• say: mv -vi /usr/lib/gajim/idle{,-old}.so
• say: cp -vi idle.so /usr/lib/gajim/

All done, idle should now work as expected.

(In [7396]) [dkirov] idle module is not correctly build (linked to xss lib) and loaded from .libs folder for svn users. fixes #2611
