Package: wmctrl Version: 1.07-5 Severity: important Tags: patch This might also reopen #344080: wmctrl: -d option is broken on amd64
>From the following mail archive with subject "Re: 64 bit implementation" See: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/wm-spec-list/2003-March/msg00067.html In partilar the section: When the X window system was ported to 64-bit architectures, a rather peculiar design decision was made. 32-bit quantities such as Window IDs, atoms, etc, were kept as longs in the client side APIs, even when long was changed to 64 bits. So all 32-bit returns are of 64 bits in size. I believe this would render recasting as CARD32 useless on big-endian machines. The patch applied to main.c file needs to be undone and I have supplied a patch that works for me (tested on x86_64 and x86). The notes I also decribed above are in the patch :) Thanks Chris Donoghue -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-amd64 Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages wmctrl depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libglib2.0-0 2.10.1-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libice6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libsm6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6 X Window System Session Management ii libx11-6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6 X Window System protocol client li ii libxmu6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6 X Window System miscellaneous util wmctrl recommends no packages. -- debconf-show failed
