kui/active_window_x

a rubygem package to observe an active window on X window system

active_window_x's Issues

Not support Ruby 2.2 serious.

When I install rbindkeys, occur this error.

after some research, i found this gem compile failed
in my openSUSE 42.1. (with libX11-devel installed)

ruby ./extconf.rb
Not supported ruby version: 2.2.3
*** ./extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary
libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more details.  You may
need configuration options.

Provided configuration options:
    --with-opt-dir
    --without-opt-dir
    --with-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
    --with-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib
    --with-make-prog
    --without-make-prog
    --srcdir=.
    --curdir
    --ruby=/home/zw963/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.3/bin/$(RUBY_BASE_NAME)

But this command can work with Ruby 2.1 serious.

Thanks.

This gem is not worked in newer linux distro

Hi, after several year, X window system is keep updating.

I found this gem is not worked in almost all new linux any more.

I tried was:

openSuSE 42.3, > Ubuntu 16.04, > Deepin 15.5

The still working distro, slackware 14.2. But, after update to slackware current,
it not worked.

When open some special window, rbinkdeys is keep crashed

Following app is a example.

razorsql linux 64bit version.

When open razorsql in slackware 14.2, connections menu -> connect -> select a profile
press connection button, active_window_x is crashed with following logs:
