But a small step further in becoming a GGI distro:
A prerelease of GGI source packages for debian is available:
deb-src http://home.t-online.de/home/eislink/debian unstable main
If the above line is correct, then that URL is also valid in the future
(as since init on Jan 31, 2001). Homepage is http://eisbox.debox.de
There is libgii_0.8-2 and libggi_2.0.0-1, based on the known stable
release of GGI; more issues below.
No! static library support and no! plans to include that in
libgii_0.8.1-1 or libggi_2.0.1-1 (see other mail).
Today i noticed that i was hunting an ld bug for the last two days
(sigh) instead of tracing libgii behaviour with statically linked
interface libraries. I felt so sure in my cleanroom build chroot, that
i didn't notice latest binutils fixing a quite nasty x86 ld bug!
Example is the one i told you about in 'GGI in Debian - Probs':
configure test for aa_autoinit fails:
/usr/lib/libgpm.so.1: undefined reference to `atexit'
Back to the debs (sources), some questions, but first: ask in case you
really want debs (binaries) from the above http. That way they would
even once be tested ;-)
- A .la file is generated by ggi build and included in the debs by me,
for each input- and display-target, module (how're they called,
sublibs?). Possibly used from dynloader? Or useless and away with it?
- target-aa tends to segfault, on each exit at least.
- demos are built, but not installed. I'ld be happy to include them as
well as inputdump, ... to the libggi-samples package.
- sad not all sublibs/filters/tools are documented., but nice to see
the latest additions. Added manpages myself, but am admittedly not
quite sure yet what that programs really do.
- described: "ipc" draws into attached shared memory framebuffers ??
- Changelog1999.gz takes 22,5k. Do you see this as part of the complete
docs of 2.0?
Thanks for your assistance. GGI is cool! After this mail, i will get
the latest_tarball to see how packaging matches. Debian might still
take a little while to release and as long your source remains
available from http[1] protocol also, i should be able to get it.
Thanks for your attention, greetings, martin
[1] http://ftp.ggi-project.org is fine, SourceForge is ftp only (?)
A potato backport using xfree86-3 (without dga) works here too.
