Error: failed to exec screencapture

Closed this issue 8 years ago · 7 comments

I pulled the latest version and got this error:

it seems that screencapture can't accept -l(null). I removed this param in ttygif.c and ttygif works fine. So, what's the point of -l(null)?

That's supposed to be the window Id of the terminal. Can you try again with the latest master? If that doesn't work I'll need to borrow my friends MacBook to test with.

It's the latest master which produced the error. When I removed the -l%s param in ttygif.c I got the ttygif work, So I think it's not necessary to pass window ID.

It matters unless you have it full screen I think
