yetanothergeek / xctrl Goto Github PK

I tried installing this on Trisquel 6, but I got the following error, and I now 
have no idea on how to proceed.

$ make EXTRA_CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/lua5.2
rm -f *.o xctrl.so
cc -I/usr/include/lua5.2 -Wall -DVERSION=\"1.09\" -Os -Wall -pedantic -Wshadow 
-Wunused -Wbad-function-cast -Wmissing-prototypes  -lX11 -lXmu -s -shared 
lxctrl.c -o xctrl.so
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccnrYzNq.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1'

Hi Jeff,

Just wondering if you're completely set on the GPL for this extension.

I would dig to put into luabuild but since it does optional static linking even 
LGPL would be an issue.

Not a big issue, really; I don't share the usual anti-GPL sentiment of many Lua 
people.
