I can't get pixmap's to work under cow snapshot from 20020504. Snooping around winsprite.c, and config.h I noticed on my system that none of the XPM stuff got defined. #ifdef COW #define HAVE_X11 1 /* #undef HAVE_WIN32 */ /* #undef HAVE_XPM */ /* #undef HAVE_X11_XPM_H */ #endif I got xpm installed. $ rpm -qal | grep -i libxpm /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.a /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4.11 Added the following to configure.in, ran autoconf configure.in:237 echo "******** '$code':'$stable' ************" if test "$code" = cow; then if test "$stable" = nope; then SAVELIBS="$LIBS" LIBS="$LIBS $XLIBSWDIR $XLIBSWLIB" SAVEINCS="$INCS" INCS="$INCS $XINCLUDES" AC_CHECK_LIB(Xpm, main, [AC_DEFINE(HAVE_XPM) XPMLIBS="-lXpm"]) AC_CHECK_HEADERS(X11/xpm.h) LIBS="$SAVELIBS" INCS="$SAVEINCS" fi fi Looks like you got to --enable-unstable to get pixmaps, so re-ran configure like this: $ ./configure --enable-unstable <snip> ******** 'cow':'' ************ The $stable variable is nothing. $stable is set to nope configure.in:63 I believe the problem is that configure.in assumes the user is not going to use the --enable-unstable or --enable-stable options. The logic to set $stable is not reached when --enable-unstable is used. I added this to configure.in:68 if test "x$unstable" != xyes ; then if test "x$stable" = xyes ; then AC_MSG_RESULT(stable) AC_DEFINE(stable) else AC_MSG_RESULT(unknown, asking) echo "Produce a stable release (y/n)?" read stable AC_MSG_CHECKING(release type) if test "$stable" = "y"; then AC_MSG_RESULT(stable) AC_DEFINE(STABLE) else AC_MSG_RESULT(unstable) stable=nope fi fi else AC_MSG_RESULT(unstable) stable=nope fi fi Patch attached.
