flying-toasters-xscreensaver's Issues

.xscreensaver

Change README.MD:
/usr/local/bin/bin/flying-toasters should not be put in .xscreensaver when saved in /usr/local/bin

(Lazy stupid me using copy/paste)

release - v1.1.0 built with newer dependencies: glibc

./flying-toasters_v1.1.0: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by ./flying-toasters_v1.1.0)

its pretty common to release with the latest newest desktop OS
for older os, people will need to compile their own!

(ubuntu 18.04)

Black screen instead of screensaver on Arch

When running via ./flying-toasters -windowed, everything works as expected, but when added to .xscreensaver like so:

  GL:                           hextrail --root                             \n\
                                /usr/local/bin/flying-toasters     \n\

...only a black screen appears when clicking the preview button.

I am running EndeavourOS / Arch.

how do i install this in android

I don't have a rooted phone

make "fails" after build

gcc -o bin/flying-toasters src/flying-toasters.c -L/usr/lib -lX11 -lXpm -s -W -Wall
./bin/flying-toasters -windowed
XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0"
      after 2055 requests (2011 known processed) with 158 events remaining.
make: *** [Makefile:4: run] Error 1

this is because after exiting the -windowed open, make will fail
this should be changed so that it does not automatically open and instead suggests "how to open"

an auto failure like this isnt good for an automated make

Makefile:

run:
	echo "./bin/flying-toasters -windowed"

works fine for me. make finished successfully.
