Hello world :-)
Terminology 1.6.0 works fine on FreeBSD with older and newer EFL+E. 1.7.0 does build okay but does not work - no reaction to keystrokes. It shows menu, can change settings, can copy, shows motd, but terminal itself is deaf does not listen to any key or paste.
Was there any important change that can cause this behaviour?
Any hints welcome :-)
If you create a new terminal from the menu, is it better?
What if you focus/unfocus the window?
Hello @billiob and thank you for quick response :-)
Running from Menu does not change anything. I am launching from iBar icon :-)
Focusing/unfocusing also doest not change anything.
Running from a terminal shows this errors on keystroke I hope that helps:

Sure thing, I am porting EFL+E to FreeBSD so no problem with building and patching :-)
I am working fine on 1.6.0 (port updated from 1.4.1) on the same EFL (1.23.3) and E (0.23.1) :-)
Can you show the build options for EFL? There should be no reference to epoll
I think you have some other package installed which is causing EFL to build with epoll support?
Hey @netstar :-) Which version of Terminology on which E and EFL?
Yes probably I messed up the EFL configuration still experimenting with that.. but on those settings 1.6.0 works fine ;-)
Do you have a recommended EFL config that would exclude Linux specific stuff? :-)
I'm runnning E 24.0 and EFL 1.24 and Terminology 1.7.0 on FreeBSD 12.1 and OpenBSD 6.7-beta
@cederom Are you building in unclean environment? It might be that build system picks stuff from libepoll-shim FreeBSD package.
These goes the port updates tickets and whole ports sources / patches are there too:
Yes the libepoll-shim is installed:
# pkg info libepoll-shim
libepoll-shim-0.0.20200223
Name : libepoll-shim
Version : 0.0.20200223

Description :
epoll-shim is a small library that implements epoll on top of kqueue. It
has been successfully used to port libinput, libevdev, Wayland and more
software to FreeBSD.
WWW: https://github.com/jiixyj/epoll-shimThank you! :-) The best way to build/install is to use port :-) This is why I am updating the port :-)
By the way @netstar did you manage to run EFL+E+ Wayland on FreeBSD? I am encountering some E build errors. EFL is now building fine with wl switch :-)
Please advise the FreeBSD port maintainers not to build with wayland support . It does not work, it merely builds.
Follow the guide as above.
Well, it looks like I am updating the port, because no one did that so far ;-)
It may not be possible to simply remove libepoll-shim as other packages and libraried depends on it:
# pkg info -r libepoll-shim libepoll-shim-0.0.20200223: hikari-1.1.1 efl-1.23.3 freerdp-2.0.0.r4_8 libinput-1.15.5 wayland-1.18.0_3 libevdev-1.5.9_1
Why does 1.6.0 works with this shim and 1.7.0 does not?
EFL
meson build -Dsystemd=false -Deeze=false
Enlightenment
meson -Dsystemd=false -Ddevice-udev=false build
If you need more help open another ticket and add me to it.
Closing this terminology ticket (not a bug)
The problem with Terminology 1.7.0 is not fixed, exactly the same setup and 1.6.0 works fine, I cannot remove libepoll-shim from system because other applications depend on it. Will report a working solution if I find one. Thanks for your quick response :-)
Your terminology 1.6.0 is probably linked with an other version of efl, one that was compiled when epoll-shim wasn't installed.
@cederom,
Try to build EFL and Terminology in jail with the strict minimum of other software installed. Terminology and Enlightenment from Git work fine here with EFL 1.24 on FreeBSD 11.3.
Thank you for your feedback that it works for you, this is valuable input.
I am building both 1.6.0 and 1.7.0 from scratch on the same machine.
epoll-shim is required by other packages and cannot be removed from the system. If presence of that package impacts Terminology then terminology build scripts need fix.
I need more free time to explore and test all EFL build options. At the moment it seems shim is on the dependencies list.
Thank you for your time :-)
That's correct. If epoll thing has respective dependency line in meson.build, it should be conditionally stubbed out for FreeBSD. If not, the #include <epoll.h> should be guarded with #ifndef __FreeBSD__.
I can confirm that this is the EFL build time configuration issue. Older EFL build works fine with Terminology 1.7.0. I will looks into that epoll stuff in a free moment. Thank you!! :-)
It's just
header_checks = [ ... 'sys/epoll.h', ... ]
in header_checks/meson.build
And then many
# ifdef HAVE_SYS_EPOLL_H
in differend code files.
I would ask another question - why does it bug in ecore_main.c, trying to use epoll mechanism? If the header, installed by libepoll-shim, is present - probably we need to add the library somewhere?
@cederom,
I cannot reproduce your problem on my test PC under FreeBSD 12.1.
I have libepoll-shim package installed, but during the configuration of EFL meson does not detect sys/epoll.h header. I have it installed in /usr/local/include/libepoll-shim/sys/epoll.h and I have CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include exported, but meson does not detect it. Don't you have a symlink of this file in /usr/include for any reason?
@cederom,
It seems that has_header meson function is not recursive.
I could reproduce your problem creating symlinks of epoll.h in /usr/local/include/sys or in /usr/include/sys
I don't know why do you have such links (or strange CFLAGS=I/usr/local/include/libepoll-shim) but anyway it is not a standard situation. So I think that libepoll-shim package installed would not prevent correct building of EFL without epoll.
Thank you @Peter2121.. I had to modify one header that was linux specific in order to make VNC server work:
https://phab.enlightenment.org/T8713
Maybe this is the problem? But I cannot see any other includes over there.
I also noticed that my recent compilation of EFL lags terribly in performance. The old build works fine (I am using it right now) and the 1.7.0 works here too. Some crazy dependencies seems to jump in when enabling all features. For sure I have messed up the build flags and/or configuration. Wanted to keep the old port habits of configuration (using configure), but I will change it so it reflect the new build system. I have to focus on EFL build parameters carefully now. Once again big thank you for your feedback and time!!
Btw. is there any easy way to see what features and parameters EFL was compiled with? :-)
