Talk:Automatically reduce brightness
Hey, the new version (0.4_beta1) doesn't compile on Debian Etch.
> make gcc -g -Wall -lX11 -lXss -o brightd brightd.c brightd.c:48:25: error: sys/inotify.h: No such file or directory brightd.c: In function 'main': brightd.c:530: warning: implicit declaration of function 'inotify_init' brightd.c:532: warning: implicit declaration of function 'inotify_add_watch' brightd.c:532: error: 'IN_CREATE' undeclared (first use in this function) brightd.c:532: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once brightd.c:532: error: for each function it appears in.) brightd.c:593: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'struct inotify_event' brightd.c:595: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type brightd.c:715: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'struct inotify_event' brightd.c:716: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'struct inotify_event' brightd.c:718: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type brightd.c:718: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type brightd.c:719: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type make: *** [brightd] Error 1
So I changed the line
#include <sys/inotify.h>
to
#include <linux/inotify.h>
which gives me:
> make gcc -g -Wall -lX11 -lXss -o brightd brightd.c brightd.c: In function 'main': brightd.c:530: warning: implicit declaration of function 'inotify_init' brightd.c:532: warning: implicit declaration of function 'inotify_add_watch' /tmp/ccIEzkru.o: In function `main': /home/thomas/downloads/brightd-0.4_beta4/brightd.c:530: undefined reference to `inotify_init' /home/thomas/downloads/brightd-0.4_beta4/brightd.c:532: undefined reference to `inotify_add_watch' /home/thomas/downloads/brightd-0.4_beta4/brightd.c:576: undefined reference to `inotify_init' /home/thomas/downloads/brightd-0.4_beta4/brightd.c:578: undefined reference to `inotify_add_watch' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [brightd] Error 1
Do I need a special version of inotify? Sry, I have no real experience in c programming.
