Re: transparent + tinted terminal aterm compiled & works OK

[Frank-Michael Moser <moser at decodon dot com>]

What did you do to make it compile?
First I tried to compile aterm and I got

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
gcc -rdynamic -o aterm command.o graphics.o grkelot.o main.o menubar.o 
misc.o netdisp.o rmemset.o screen.o scrollbar2.o utmp.o xdefaults.o 
pixmap.o ximage_utils.o thai.o   -lAfterImage -lAfterBase 
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXext  -lSM -lICE  -lX11
gcc: unrecognized option `-rdynamic'
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: 
cannot find -lAfterImage
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So I tried to install libAfter first. But it complained:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
gcc asview.o common.o -L../ -L../../libAfterBase -lAfterImage 
-lAfterBase -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lfreetype -ltiff  -ljpeg -lpng -lgif -lz 
-lm  -lX11  -rdynamic  -L/usr/X11R6/lib   -lSM -lICE  -o asview
gcc: unrecognized option `-rdynamic'
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: 
cannot find -lgif
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

OK, so I tried to install libGif (4.1.0) and I got:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++gcc 
-g -O2 -I/usr/X11R6/include -o gif2epsn gif2epsn.o ../lib/.libs/libgif.a

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

And now I don't know what else I could do ;(
