Arch Linux

Does using the default Adwaita theme change anything?

Possible duplicate of  FS#46614 

I think I am using that, I'm using the vanilla installation of GTK, have never customized it in any way. I tried to force select the Adwaita theme but the segfault still occurs:

$ GTK_THEME=Adwaita workrave
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This issue is because workrave is not rebuilt with gtk 3.18.

However, workrave doesn't build with gtk 3.18 because c++11 is not enabled.
I've filed this bug upstream as http://issues.workrave.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1219.
Nevertheless, we could just enable c++11 ourselves in the meantime:

Thanks! I tried the patch but I'm getting a compile error, seem like I'm missing a package. I have all the make dependencies installed, and libxtst 1.2.2-1.

I submitted a pull request to workrave upstream GitHub repo:

https://github.com/rcaelers/workrave/pull/50

Pieter Frenssen: I cannot reproduce the compile error, even when building in a clean chroot (using extra-x86_64-build from devtools). Can you try to build in a clean chroot if you are still having the problem.

I tried building in a chrooted environment with extra-x86_64-build, but getting the same error:

checking for XRecordEnableContext in -lXtst... no
configure: error: X RECORD extension headers files required on Unix platform
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

==> ERROR: Build failed, check /var/lib/archbuild/extra-x86_64/pieter/build

Nevermind, I can work around it for the moment by downgrading gtkmm3. Thanks for the assistance.

My pull request
https://github.com/rcaelers/workrave/pull/50 was merged to workrave upstream repo.

I created a local workrave package with that change and workrave doesn't crash anymore.
