dmenu 4.9 compiles fine but segfaults when any key is pressed; upstream (i.e. dmenu-9999) has fixed this issue, I will submit the patched ebuild via PR soon.

I guess you missed this:

commit db6093f6ec1bb884f7540f2512935b5254750b30 (HEAD, refs/git-r3/x11-misc/dmenu/0/__old__, refs/git-r3/x11-misc/dmenu/0/__main__, refs/git-r3/HEAD)

    revert IME support

    dmenu will not handle IME support (st will, atleast for now).

    revert parts of commit 377bd37e212b1ec4c03a481245603c6560d0be22
    this commit also broke input focus.
Comment 2 Wesley Coakley 2020-05-15 08:32:31 UTC 
Thanks, guess it's time to find an alternative or remember to toggle my IME every time, closing this one
Comment 3 Georgy Yakovlev archtester gentoo-dev 2021-04-25 09:12:25 UTC
