Trying to compile form here (ubuntu 12.10), I got this error:

$ gcc -Wall -Werror -std=gnu89 -lX11 xcwd.c -o xcwd
/tmp/cc4jSMfF.o: In function `focusedWindow':

I can compile however by issuing:

gcc xcwd.c -Wall -Werror -std=gnu89 -lX11 -o xcwd

Unfortunately, it does not work for gnome-terminal :-(

Also in urxvt, I found that there is a weird extra character in the output (happens to me at least).

I have some trouble getting the properties of gtk window (firefox, gnome-terminal, …)
I don't really know why, but I will check the xprop code since there is no problem with it.

Strange, I do not have any problem with the output

With a little tweak in gnome-terminal, I get to send the current directory to the title of the window, but xcwd does not look for it in any of the available properties... see my xprop:

_NET_STARTUP_ID(UTF8_STRING) = "i3/x-terminal-emulator/5695-2-mac17_TIME5828468"
WM_WINDOW_ROLE(STRING) = "gnome-terminal-window-4328-1987192084-1366899150"

WM_NAME(STRING) = "/tmp/xcwd"
_NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "/tmp/xcwd"

Can you add _NET_WM_NAME?

For the record, to make this in gnome-terminal, you need to:

  1. Right click > Profiles > Profile Preferences (choose your current) > Title and Command
    and change the "when terminal commands set their own titles: " to "replace initial title"

  2. set PROMPT_COMMAND in .bashrc as:

PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${PWD}\007"'

Even if I add _NET_WM_NAME, the problem remain the same, xcwd can not read any properties of a gtk window. XGetWindowProperty always return NULL. Moreover since gnome-terminal set _NET_WM_PID(CARDINAL), it's not necessary to read _NET_WM_NAME.

Got it! Thanks.

The last commit should fix it.
But since I do not manage to run gnome-terminal I can't test it.
