I use x48 for a long time, but now i'm trying to build it with a minimal arch install, no xorg (for a custom repo). I receive an error message : configure: error: Package requirements (xt) were not met:

Consider to add xterm as dependecy.

@Moxon:

Thanks for the patch, I've committed it to PKGBUILD.

font error

x48 -geometry +0+0 -xrm 'smallLabelFont: fixed' -xrm 'mediumLabelFont: fixed' -xrm 'largeLabelFont: fixed' -xrm 'connectionFont: fixed'

x48: using XShm extension.

@fabio.ffd:

I have a similar error resulting from the '-Werror=format-security' compiler flag which has been added to Arch (https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/rfcs/-/blob/master/rfcs/0003-buildflags.rst#specification).

The good fix would be patching the sources, but I patched PKGBUILD instead:

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD
index 915be9a..86ec3a2 100644
--- a/PKGBUILD
+++ b/PKGBUILD

     make
     bzcat gxrom.bz2 > gxrom
     bzcat sxrom.bz2 > sxrom

Then it installed fine.

Linux 5.12.15-arch1-1 up to date

Could some one help-me please?

@vicnat It worked, thank you very much. Just add the alias x48 = 'x48 -connFont fixed'

@lgomesf

I have an alias in my .bashrc for x48 as follows: alias x48='x48 -connFont fixed'

Could you check what xorg-fonts packages are installed in your arch system? In mine I have these: xorg-fonts-100dpi xorg-fonts-cyrillic
xorg-fonts-type1 xorg-fonts-75dpi xorg-fonts-encodings
xorg-fonts-alias xorg-fonts-misc

Also you can found a work around for the helvetica connectionFont error in this link https://www.ebower.com/docs/ubuntu-x48/

@JM9 Thanks for the changes, x48 works again...

@vicnat Sorry for the flag without further detail, I thought my last comment was enough. I'll try to made best the next time ;-)
