Suprising as it might sound not all systems in the world are linux and not all linux has the same programs on them. so yea you need a autoconf/configure:) Ely Levy System group Hebrew University Jerusalem Israel On Wed, 19 Apr 2000, Ilya Konstantinov wrote: | On Wed, Apr 19, 2000 at 10:49:38AM +0300, Tzafrir Cohen wrote: | a Preliminary RPM package of gtkbiditext is now availble. | | Hopefully I will later have some time to figure out how to use | autoconf.

gtkbidi rpms
a Preliminary RPM package of gtkbiditext is now availble. Hopefully I will later have some time to figure out how to use autoconf. At the moment this package is quite badly done. However it works. TODO: * what does it work with? Please report to me or to the list. * make libfribidi a shared library. I just couldn't figure how to set this in the configure script. * Write an autoconf script for gtkbiditext I need help with all three. Have a look at: ftp://linux.org.il/pub/local-dev/tzafrir/00INDEX.html#gtkbidi Do you think that there is any point in trying to use the reflected gtk widgets (hebgtk)? If so then next I'll try updating the existing package from http://hebgtk.hectic.net/ to use the patch against gtk 1.2.5 . -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: gtkbidi rpms
* make libfribidi a shared library. I just couldn't figure how to set this in the configure script. I don't think it's possible from configure. I actually think it can be done. Just have a look at one of the many GNOME source rpms, or even the glibc source rpm. Just do: gcc allobjectfiles.o ... -o libfribidi.so --shared (that should work, methinks) I think you should also use -fPIC, and then your makefile has to worry about the "so" name, after compilation. * Write an autoconf script for gtkbiditext Ouch, what for? I manually removed it and rewrote as a simple Makefile. Is there a real need for a configure script? Because, it is much easier to hack around in a source rpm that has a makefile generated when it is built, rather than unpack the sources that come with the source rpm, hack the makefile, and then re-pack it. Why hack with the makefile in the first place, you ask? Well there are several reasons. Personally, I prefer compiling the rpms with special optimizaitons for the specific platform I am running the binary on, to get speed improvments. hth, Yosi __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
