FVWM: libstroke with fvwm

[Jamie]

hi

i thought i'd try out the mouse gestures feature i read about when
looking on the net, etc and compiled libstroke-0.5.1. i recompiled fvwm
and it picked up the libstroke library; however, when i start the wm it
exits and the error says it's libstroke can't open shared libraries.
does this mean that libstroke needs other dependencies that aren't on my
system? does anyone have a set-up with fvwm that uses this and who might
know what i need to do? also, is it worth it :-)

Well, what does the output from:

% ldd $(which fvwm)

Show? Furthermore, you're going to need to clarify how you installed
libstroke.

For FVWM to link against it though, it found the necessary headers. which is
a start.

Not looking like a FVWM problem at this point, I have to say.

Always post the exact message you got.

also is it worth it :-).

Never used libstroke myself, too afraid some random mouse movement will
do something I don't want.
