Solved jwm pkg

fernandel · 2026-09-14T10:54:39+0100

I am using binary packages and in Freshports I saw that is in the last update svg option enabled. How can I find if is binary pkg built with svg enabled option, please?
I did change some icons to svg but didn't work.
Thank you.

I was fast...
pkg info jwm it shows.

Yes, pkg info would show which options the package has been compiled with.

Also, if it's 2.4.6_1 the SVG option is enabled by default since update bumped the port revision version number _1.

Do they work now with SVG-enabled pkg? The packages seem to be available only on latest repository since it wasn't merged to quarterly.

Have a look at pkg-alias(8). There are many useful and interesting pkg(8) aliases, in your case the "options" alias is exactly what you are looking for:

Code:

% pkg options jwm
jwm - CAIRO: off
jwm - DEBUG: off
jwm - FRIBIDI: on
jwm - JPEG: on
jwm - NLS: on
jwm - PNG: on
jwm - SVG: on
jwm - XEXT: on
jwm - XFT: on
jwm - XINERAMA: on
jwm - XMU: on
jwm - XPM: on
jwm - XRENDER: on

Yes, svg is built but it doesn't shows. When was not build I did covert svg to png and it works but with svg file it doesn't.

Looks like that should be CAIRO enabled too.

No, it is not important. It doesn't woork too. Maybe is a bug in JWM.

It's disappointing to hear that since that was the goal of enabling SVG by default.

Okay. I build jwm with cairo and svg and try to using try to using jwm-red.svg (I have png version too) and it works. First time I forgot to restart X.
It works but the JWM panel is to big. The png icon I did resize

.
For svg pictures are important cairo and svg.
Now is problem solved

.
Thank you.

Thank you. I have made the change to the port, now SVG depends on CAIRO option. Hopefully it's fixed by default now. Would love to hear back from you with no hacking needed (no custom port build, official pkg (if you're on latest)).
