Hello Brian,
What is puzzling me however, is that in Ubuntu 7.04, at-spi-registryd
is also located in /usr/lib/at-spi/. And there, registryd starts.
Ubuntu 7.04 uses gdm 2.18.1.
In my tests of yesterday, the variable command had the value
/usr/local/libexec/at-spi-registryd. Could this be related to the
fact that I did a configure without --prefix? Not that the wrong
value of LIBEXECDIR can be caused by me not doing ./configure as I
should!?
I will add links to these emails in the bug report in Ubuntu. Maybe
somebody more knowledgeable than me can do the fix. Otherwise, I will
try my best; probably in two weeks.
Francesco.
PS: I did an error in my previous email: g_spawn_async() is in
gdmcommon.c and not in gdmlogin.c
Francesco:
Great, I'm glad we finally tracked down the problem.
To fix this problem properly, we should probably add a new configure option.
Note it already supports configuration like this. For example with logdir:
---
AC_ARG_WITH(log-dir, [ --with-log-dir=<file> log dir])
if ! test -z "$with_log_dir"; then
GDM_LOG_DIR=$with_log_dir
else
GDM_LOG_DIR=/var/log/gdm
fi
AC_SUBST(logdir, $GDM_LOG_DIR)
---
We probably should add a --with-atspi-dir which defaults to libexecdir.
The code would look very similar to the above except you'ld use
atspi-dir instead of log-dir, etc and set a variable called GDM_ATSPI_DIR.
One minor difference, you need to use this code (already in configure.ac)
to get the right libexecdir value:
if test ${libexecdir} = "\${exec_prefix}/libexec"; then
ssh_libexec="$real_gdm_prefix/libexec"
else
ssh_libexec="${libexecdir}"
fi
So, you could add your test after we set ssh_libexec in the script
and set it to ssh_libexec if with-atspi-dir is not passed in.
Then you would need to modify the code so it gets the value from
GDM_LOG_DIR rather than just using LIBEXECDIR. Note in daemon/Makefile.am
that we set -DLOGDIR, so you'ld need to set a similar -D argument for
this to set ATSPIDIR, and then reference ATSPIDIR in the c-file.
Then you should be able to configure this.
Can you try this?
Brian
I may have approached the problem.
In gdmlogin.c in the function pre-atspi_launch:
ORIGINAL:
The line
command = g_strdup (LIBEXECDIR "/at-spi-registryd");
gives:
/usr/local/libexec/at-spi-registryd
Moreover, the error argument of g_spawn_async() returned:
Failed to execute child process
"/usr/local/libexec/at-spi-registryd" (No such file or directory)
MODIFICATION:
So I commented out the line
command = g_strdup (LIBEXECDIR "/at-spi-registryd");
and modified the declaration of command to:
char *command = "/usr/lib/at-spi/at-spi-registryd";
(This is the location of at-spi-registryd on my Ubuntu installation.)
Now I get the XEVIE error (see my previous email) in the terminal
where I launch ./gdmlogin, but at-spi-registryd gets started.
LIBEXECDIR
I have no clue at the moment, where LIBEXECDIR resides and how to
correct the problem.
Cheers
Francesco
