Hi,
I've always had problems using PNG icons with FVWM, despite it being
built correctly (fvwm-configure shows png support as 'yes'). My machine
was recently upgraded to Solaris 8 (or 2.8 depending on nomenclature)
and I was hoping that by rebuilding the latest beta FVWM (2.5.7) that
I'd find PNGs to now work. But unfortunately they still do not. Then I
just noticed this CVS update that was done on 6/6.
CVSROOT: /home/cvs/fvwm
Module name: fvwm
Changes by: olicha 03/06/06 10:44:04
Modified files:
. : ChangeLog
libs : PictureImageLoader.c
Log message:
* Fixed loading of png images if the caller want no alpha
I built the snapshot from June 7, but not only do PNGs not display
still, but I'm having other problems.
What's a good, stable snapshot on Solaris that would include any updates
related to PNG?
All I'm doing by the way is a simple line like this:
Style "xterm" myicon.png
No other PNG related lines in my .fvwm2rc file. That's it. Yet, when I
iconify an xterm window, I get no icon and this is the output
*FvwmConsole version 2.5.7
[FVWM][GetIconFromFile]: <<ERROR>> Failed to load /path/to/my/pngfile.png
The path is certainly correct, and I've tried using other PNGs with the
same problem. I'm also able to view them with no problem with GIMP.
It's only within FVWM that there's this problem.
Any help getting PNGs working with Solaris is much appreciated.
Thank you,
Ben
