I have xterm (and lxterm) working in Xorg now, but I did not figure out why...
yet.
First, trying to do a program with fdwalk, I have come to the conclusion fdwalk
does not exist in Debian sid.
My program:
paul@debian:~$ cat fdwalk.c
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/resource.h>
#include <stdio.h>
struct rlimit rl;
int i;
int num_files=0;
int fd;
int countOpenFiles(void *data, int fd){
num_files++;
}
void main(){
fdwalk(countOpenFiles, &fd);
printf("num_files=%d",num_files);
}
result in:
paul@debian:~$ gcc fdwalk.c
fdwalk.c: In function ‘main’:
fdwalk.c:15:3: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘fdwalk’
[-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
15 | fdwalk(countOpenFiles, &fd);
| ^~~~~~
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/cc3BVAdS.o: in function `main':
fdwalk.c:(.text+0x4b): undefined reference to `fdwalk'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
paul@debian:~$
also:
paul@debian:~$ man fdwalk
No manual entry for fdwalk
After that I did: apt-get build-essential; apt-get source bash; apt-get
build-dep bash
And I tried to find fdwalk in bahs-5.1 directory with:
paul@debian:~$ cd bash-5.1/
paul@debian:~/bash-5.1$ grep -rnw '/path/to/somewhere/' -e 'fdwalk'
grep: /path/to/somewhere/: No such file or directory
paul@debian:~/bash-5.1$ grep -rnw . -e 'fdwalk'
paul@debian:~/bash-5.1$ grep -rn . -e 'fdwalk'
paul@debian:~/bash-5.1$
[I did try with other terms found in files, and that worked]
But I decided to rebuild it with:
dpkg-buildpackage
then installed generated pkgs with dpkg -i [most .deb except static one] in ..
apt-get install xterm twm
after that I created:
paul@debian:~$ cat .xinitrc
xterm &
exec twm
paul@debian: startx
And then, I was able to position my xterm window on the screen and use it.
I don't know yet if it is the fact to build my own .xinitrc file that did the
trick or to rebuild the bash package... will probably reinstall and try just
the .xinitrc file
with "apt install xterm twm" to see if it is enough to make it work.
