I mentioned this in passing in a thread last week, so apologies to anyone who's heard it before: I'd like idle-timer-based power management on my FC4 machine, but can't get sleepd 1.2.14 to compile. Can anyone suggest how to make it work, please?
The details:
If I point my CPATH at the apm.h and acpi.h files provided by my kernel, running "make" in the sleepd directory fails with the series of messages
cc -O2 -Wall -DACPI_APM -c -o sleepd.o sleepd.c In file included from sleepd.c:21: acpi.h:20: error: syntax error before ‘apm_info’ sleepd.c: In function ‘main_loop’: sleepd.c:132: error: ‘apm_info’ undeclared (first use in this function) sleepd.c:132: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once sleepd.c:132: error: for each function it appears in.) sleepd.c:132: error: syntax error before ‘ai’ sleepd.c:177: error: ‘ai’ undeclared (first use in this function) sleepd.c:179: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘apm_read’ sleepd.c: In function ‘main’: sleepd.c:307: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘apm_exists’ make: *** [sleepd.o] Error 1
whereas, if I point CPATH at the acpi.h and apm.h provided by sleepd, "make" fails with the slightly different series of messages
cc -O2 -Wall -DACPI_APM -c -o sleepd.o sleepd.c In file included from ./apm.h:1, from ./apm.h:1, [repeated _many_times] from sleepd.c:20: ./apm.h:1:17: error: #include nested too deeply In file included from sleepd.c:21: acpi.h:20: error: syntax error before ‘apm_info’ sleepd.c: In function ‘main_loop’: sleepd.c:132: error: ‘apm_info’ undeclared (first use in this function) sleepd.c:132: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once sleepd.c:132: error: for each function it appears in.) sleepd.c:132: error: syntax error before ‘ai’ sleepd.c:177: error: ‘ai’ undeclared (first use in this function) sleepd.c:179: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘apm_read’ sleepd.c: In function ‘main’: sleepd.c:307: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘apm_exists’ make: *** [sleepd.o] Error 1
sleepd compiles out of the box on my Debian Testing machine, so it occurred to me to ftp the resulting binaries to where I want them. Unfortunately, once there, the sleepd binary refuses to run, with the error message
sleepd: error while loading shared libraries: libapm.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
