Okay, I've got a new host for my website:
http://personal.vigoris.net/macsnafu/pcstuff/beos.html
I'll get the download link updated, too.

My webhost, Freeyellow, has changed their policies and I will no longer be able to keep the zips on their servers. I'm looking for another place to host the files, but until then, if anybody wants the Circles screensaver, I can send the .zip file by e-mail.
Just let me know if you want the 1.0 or 0.5 version, or both (source code available, PPC version only available for 0.5).
Sorry for the inconvenience!

I ran into this too when I started playing around with some screensavers in BeOS, and the BeBook's section on screensavers (see: "Screen Saver Add-ons") starts off telling you that you have to include _APP_, and then _APP_ is supposed to be linked to the Screensaver prefs. It is not necessary in R5 AFAIK; but you do need to link against the screensavers library :)
So it was included in the older BeIDE project you built yours off of on purpose, but it's not up-to-date with the current way things are done (i.e., R5.)

I removed the _APP_ file from the project and got all sorts of errors. Then I got smart and added the screensaver library (libscreensaver.so) to the project, and now it compiles just fine in BeIDE.
I swear that I started with the Spots demo code, but I must have messed it up somehow and didn't notice it. Oh well, live and learn.

In this case, I think it was (originally?) a symlink to the screensaver prefs applet. There is such a link with that exact name in the OBOS screensaver package. Here, a reference to _APP_ exists, but only in the BeIDE project file. Using make, no warnings came up about it missing and nothing in the makefile referenced it. My guess: the link was accidently dragged into the project at some point.
What I still do not understand is why it builds so easily with make, but refuses to in BeIDE...

While this topic should better be placed at BeDevTalk, it has nothing to do with the input_server - "_APP_" is the object name of a linked application, it is used so that you can switch applications and shared objects that can call each others functions.
A symlink to input_server may work, but you should have a look if linking against _APP_ is at all needed - a screen saver should be a simple add-on which doesn't need to link against any application.

If your application requires that it be linked to _APP_ this usually means that your application is in some way related to the input_server. InputServerFilters as well as InputServerDevices always link to _APP_. To make this work for your program you would simply create a symbolic link in your build directory to the input_server. Then once you have the link, rename it to _APP_. Now open your project file in BeIDE, highlight the _APP_ entry, delete it then go to the 'Insert Files' menu option and navigate to your build directory and the select your _APP_. I don't know why your screensaver would need anything from the input_server, because screensavers generally get everything that they need from the ScreenSaver InputServerFilter(or ISF for short). Well, I hope this helps.

I used the sample code for the Spots screensaver as my starting point, and I couldn't get it or my modifications to compile in BeIDE, either. I had to go to a terminal and use make. Something about not being able to find _APP_. Perhaps a more experienced BeOS programmer can explain what's happening?
If you'll e-mail me the PPC binary, I can add it to the page.

I don't know why it wouldn't work in BeIDE. Something about undefined EXIT and ENTRY...blah....blah....blah.... Oh, well. make works fine, so it can remain a mystery to me for now. ;-)
