Hi

Any help?
Thanks Michael

How did you try? Did you take it from the repository?
Software.openSUSE.org
Just search for xautomation there and you have the option to do 1-Click install too.

Thanks added this to the bookmarks.

Compiling the current version I got this but the download worked fine. ( and installed some fonts which might have
been missing )

Could not understand the real error message (not in English). It looks like the header files are mixed up somehow.

Sorry about bringing up the old topic, but I really need the xautomation package. xte, to be more precise. It is not present in any of the repositories (I am using openSUSE 12.1). What’s the reason for that? I am new to opensuse, is it always this hard to find popular software on suse?
Anyway, since there is no easy way, I tried to compille it myself, but I also get an error about XTest.h missing. And I do not know what to do further. Please help.

You have to ask the developers not other users!

Never heard about it, what is your definition of the word popular - I
would say it depends on very personal preferences.

I quickly compiled now version 1.0.5


../configure
make

it compiles just fine on 11.4 (did not try on 12.1) I guess you miss a
requirement. The output from configure should tell you which otherwise
it is a bug in xautomation.
Anyway XTest.h is in xorg-x11-devel, install it and try again.

Thanks for such a quick response, I will try that.

Installed that package, then another error popped up. Just took an xautomation rpm from Fedora 15 ant it worked like a charm.
And here is my definition of word “popular”: xautomation RPM DEB Free Download for Linux - pkgs.org

You solved it by using a different package, but let me show what is
needed for others who want to compile it on 12.1.

Just checked it myself on 12.1 to see what really goes wrong there. It
is almost definitely a bug in the xautomation configure script it does
not properly recognize how to link correctly with the X libraries on
different systems (which means on some systems or xorg versions it will
just compile on others it will just fail without a patch).

For everyone else who wants to compile that


../configure LIBS='-lX11'

solves that and make will succeed.

??? I do not see anything about its popularity ???

Take the following as a friendly suggestion for the future:

Next time you miss a package post a feature request at openFATE
https://features.opensuse.org/

If nobody does that (including you, I cannot see your request) it simply
means nobody wants it.
