Oh wow, that's bloody terrible! Sounds like a bug in the X types if
you ask me... then again, there's all kind of surprising weirdness
with the x64 extensions. After a full week of wrapping types and
dealing with really obscure bitwidth and alginment bugs, I really wish
more code used 'u32' and 's64' types - simple, short, and you always
know what the intended type really was.

AFAIK there has never been any problems running 64bit sparc X clients
againt a 32bit Xsever, or the other way around - I believe X was
written with that firmly in mind - but I'm not going to presume as
much considering I haven't looked at the code at all.

Applied! Let me know if you want subversion access...

There isn't really anything to learn (since you already know how to
check it out). The steps are:

1. Get ROX-Filer:

$ svn co https://rox.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rox/trunk/rox

2. Update src/Docs/Manual-fr.xml as usual:

$ cd rox/ROX-Filer/src/Docs
...

3. Commit the changes (from the Docs directory):

$ svn commit

ROX-Filer compile on x64

So I'm trying to compile ROX-Filer through 0install on my x64
computer, but I keep getting "Internal error: required source
components not found!" without any indication as to which component it
can't find.

 I remember Thomas mentioning that some headers were missing - what
needs to be done here?

Cheers,
  -Kacper

Please ignore. Apparently "Interface Properties" > "Compile" didn't
check to see if 0compile was present, while right-clicking
"ROX-Filer"-> "Compile" did, and downloaded 0compile for me. Actually,
don't ignore... this seems to be a bug?

However, it still doesn't build properly:

(errors on build):
pkg-config reports GTK version is now 2.4.14
Note: library 'atkmm-1.6' with major version 1 not found!
Note: library 'pangomm-1.4' with major version 1 not found!

cool! There's more though - I can't install DeviceHandler on Edgy/x64
because CDDB-Py is only available for i386. It'd be sweet if this also
had src available through 0compile.

Sounds odd. They both call the same code. Can you reproduce it (e.g.
after removing 0compile from the cache)?

The GLib headers were marked as suitable for 'any' arch, even though
they're i386-specific. I've fixed that, which means that it should no
longer allow you to compile on x64.

On the plus side, I've added a 'Compile' option to the glib headers
(it will download the GLib source code and compile them to get the
headers). Please test!

The 'mm' errors are about missing C++ headers, but ROX-Filer doesn't
need them so don't worry about it.

Actually, no. After removing 0compile it downloads as normal, no
matter which way I access it.

Yes, works like a charm now, thanks!

ROX-Filer + GPG

Hi!
This is my first post to this newsgroup :)
A friend just told me that he can encrypt or sign files with gpg in 
nautilus. This seems like a useful feature. As a ROX user I wonder if it 
is possible to include such a feature in ROX. Is there an easy way to 
script ROX?

Regards,
Jona
