yeah - I hate applications with plugins that are included in the package - especially when they could just be a configurable option... instead it makes the static compile gigantic (even worse with c++ and moreso with Qt)
The only thing I have found to mitigate them in existing DEVXes is to compile with -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections, then link with -Wl,--gc-sections
Recent builds of gcc allow -flto which is slightly better but makes your static libs huge (contains gimple info for later linking) but typically significantly smaller shared libs and binaries - requires building gcc with libelf (which is not directly supported in T2 or even LFS)

Here's the Latest VLC, I converted the extra kde quickstarts in the menu to work on JWM, This version has lots of extras libs included to give you a wider range of video formats and options.
It needs Barry's latest QT located at
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/quirky/pet_packages-wary5/qt4-4.5.3-w5.pet
and the VLC package is located at http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/Wary/Software/VLC_Plus_Extras-1.1.5-i386.pet
If you want the dev, doc, nls just ask and I'll build the 3 packages.

Here's the extras not needed to run VLC but to compile it and also the doc's and locales
http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/Wary/Software/VLC_Plus_Extras-1.1.5-DEV.pet <-- lots of dev files for compiling
http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/Wary/Software/vlc_DOC-1.1.5-i386.pet <-- docs for reading about VLC only
http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/Wary/Software/vlc_NLS-1.1.5-i386.pet <-- other than English language support files

Hi Barry!

I read Your comments on smplayer on the blog. I have been using smplayer 0.6.9 from the wary repository. I change the smplayer.desktop file to start smplayer instead of the script smplayershell. I first tried to change the script but then just bypassed it. Smplayer, itself have worked nicely for me.

Here's 2 really handy QT apps, and yes you need to install Barry's qt4 libs to use it Smile

The first one is a screenshot app with a few nice functions, not as good as pup-shots Wink

but still better than the default puppy grabber.

And the second one is a batch image resizer, very useful indeed. Smile

here's a online tv viewer/recorder, you need vlc installed plus Barry's qt libs.

here's a really nice QT4 text editor that could replace Geany in the near future, its a 1.2mb pet but if you removed the locales it could be cutdown to around 1mb or a bit less,
you need the QT4 libs installed to use this.
Its based on QScintilla-gpl-2.4.6 and I included this lib in the pet.

PS I replaced the kde icons with gnome/gtk Smile

They look much better

Here's another advanced QT4 text editor that can 100% replace Geany right now, its larger due to the fact I added all the plugins plus left in the locales. You need to install barry's QT4 libs to run it.
ttuuxxx

Ps compiling the plugins was a bit of chore due to the fact that cmake doesn't really work new2dir make install, so you manually have to add the files to a directory and make a pet, and sometimes when they install like juffed it left out the dev's in usr/include so the plugins wouldn't make, but I figured it out and added it to the usr/include and then it compiled fine, but when I went to install with make install, it was installed into usr/share when juffed by default was in usr/local/share so it wouldn't find the plugins, once I moved the plugins then it worked.
Also since Barry put the qt4 libs in opt/ juffed compiled fine but when I went to run it, it wouldn't find the libs, so I made some system links and it finally worked, Juffed is a really good text editor, but building it is a bit of a task.

You can also open a doc window with a terminal in it Smile

here's a program for people who like electronics

And finally here's a Grub Bootloader editor for QT4
I have no idea if it works so maybe a few test.
I run live, so I can't test it nor do I have the time, lol

An whole page of the Forum ruined by oversized images!
Where is a decent moderator when you need him?
Such a transgression of the rules is especially galling when it relates to a distro designed for older kit. If you can't see it at 640x480 on a 14" crt resize it!
