Trouble with compiling from source for 64 bit

Hi Jean

In adition of qmake you need this libraries:

Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libqtcore4 (>= 4:4.6.1), 
libqtgui4 (>= 4:4.5.3), libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1), libutouch-geis1 (>= 1.0.8), 
libx11-6

And of curse g++.

I think that a:
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libqt4-dev libutouch-geis1 libx11-6

Will install all dependencies, please, confirm it ;)
Greetings!

Hi Jose

Thanks for the quick response..

I installed the packages that you recommended, and got the following error:

jean@Bingi:~/Programs/touchegg-0.1$ make
g++ -c -pipe -O2 -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB 
-DQT_SHARED -I/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++ -I. -I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore

./src/touchegg/util/Include.h:36: fatal error: geis/geis.h: No such file or 
directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [build/Main.o] Error 1

It looks like the same error to me.

Is there anything else that I can try?

Thanks again...
Jean

Is very strange... Are you using (K)Ubuntu 10.10?? Try to install utouch 
package instead of libutouch-geis1:

$ sudo apt-get install utouch

And check that there is no errors in installation

Alright.. lot's of action after the 'make' and 'sudo make install' commands, so 
I assume that it went well. The utouch had the files that it was looking for. 
I'm not using Kubuntu btw - straight Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick.

Bash now predicts the 'touchegg' command, which I ran and then tried to use the 
gestures and nothing.I made the .touchegg directory in home, and copied the 
.conf file across. What do I need to edit to get this working?

Hardware is an Acer Aspire 7741F (with multi-gesture pad).

Thanks,
Jean

Ok, after execute sudo make install and run Touchégg from console, if you move 
your fingers over the trackpad, the gesture names that you are using should be 
listed in console.

If nothing appear probably is because you aren't use the evdev driver, check 
this issues:

Copy the configuration file is not necesary unless you want personalize your 
gestures, check the video to see how:

If you have any problems please ask!
Thanks!

Alright, i checked and I am using the evdev drivers (xserver-xorg-input-evdev). 
I installed the 'pointing devices (gpointing-device-settings) as well.

When I run touchegg in the terminal, i get the same as before - no gestures 
come up.

Where to now?

Thanks for being so patient.

Hello Jean

I really don't know where can be the problem now xD Have you restarted X after 
change the driver??

Ok, let's review all steps:

1 - Install Touchégg dependences:
    $ sudo apt-get install build-essential libqt4-dev utouch libx11-6

2 - Compile Touchégg:
    $ qmake
    $ make
    $ sudo make install

3 - Go to your /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ path and check if exits any file 
like "nn-<trackpad name>.conf"
    If exits change the Drver "<driver name>" line to Driver "evdev". For example, this is my 60-magictrackpad.conf file:

    Section "InputClass"
         Identifier "Magic Trackpad"
         MatchUSBID "05ac:030e"
         Driver "evdev"
         #Driver "synaptics"
    EndSection

4 - If not exits you need edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and add this 
content, obiusly change the Identifier. Check this:
    https://code.google.com/p/touchegg/wiki/ConfigurationDevices

5 - If /etc/X11/xorg.conf file don't exits create it:
    Press CTRL+ALT+F1 (Important! press CTRL+ALT+F7 to return to the X mode) and login. Run:
    "sudo service gdm stop" for Gnome or "sudo service kdm stop" for KDE.
    Run "sudo Xorg -configure", "sudo mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and reestart X with "sudo service gdm start"
    or "sudo service kdm start" and edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf like in step 4.

6 - Run Touchégg:
    $ touchegg

7 - Make a gesture, for example drag two fingers over your trackpad. If all 
works fine, the name of the gesture will appear.

8 - To use your own configuration:
    $ mkdir $HOME/.touchegg
    $ cp /usr/share/touchegg/touchegg.conf $HOME/.touchegg/touchegg.conf

    And edit it... GUI in progress ;)

Oh! another think, if don't work run "geistest" do "two fingers drad", press 
CTRL+C and copy here the output ;)

Hi Jose

Thanks for all the detailed feedback. 

I went into /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and it had a few files that matched the 
description - magicpad, synaptics, evdev. I edited synaptics and changed the 
driver to evdev, logged out and in and ran touchegg in a terminal. The mouse 
movement was VERY jerky and fast, but I started seeing output lines in the 
touchegg terminal for the first time, although it would only recognise 2 
fingger commands (no 3 or 4 fingers showed).

I have since changed it back to the default synaptics driver.

Would it be best for me to just wait for the GUI?

Thanks again,
Jean

Hi

Some trackpads not support more than three or four fingers:
http://code.google.com/p/touchegg/issues/detail?id=3#c10

Can you use three fingers with synaptics driver? If run geistest, can you use 
more than two fingers?

Check this to change the mouse speed:
http://code.google.com/p/touchegg/issues/detail?id=2#c7

Greetings, and thank to you for use Touchégg ;)

There was some repetition as well, but they are all either pinch, rotate, drag 
or tap. no 3 or 4 fingers. Does this rule me out for a fully functioning 
touchegg?

Thanks,
Jean

Ok, after this output begin to make gestures and check the output. For example 
this is my output with 4 fingers drag:

If some output appear is because the gesture are supported, else is not 
supported...

I have been having very similar troubles.  However, in the ubuntu package 
manager, the installed version of libc6 is 2.12 while the instructions above 
say that I need libc6 >=2.4.  Here is my error

Please, check this:

And if the problem persist open a new issue ;)
