The pet scribus-1.3.9-i386.pet is 213MB, lol 492MB expanded and that's after its been stripped, did you want the pet, I could upload it. If not I understand its kind or really big.
I also compiled a few other static qt apps that are pretty good.
I'll upload those later.

I compiled it! The PET is 10.5MB, needs the Qt4 pkg:

I am just about to knock down the size of that qt4 pkg.

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)
Check out my [url=https://github.com/technosaurus]github repositories[/url]. I may eventually get around to updating my [url=http://bashismal.blogspot.com]blogspot[/url].

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/dis ... 5.3-w5.pet
and the VLC package is located at http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/Wary/So ... 5-i386.pet
If you want the dev, doc, nls just ask and I'll build the 3 packages.
ttuuxxx

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/So ... .5-DEV.pet <-- lots of dev files for compiling
http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/Wary/So ... 5-i386.pet <-- docs for reading about VLC only
http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/Wary/So ... 5-i386.pet <-- other than English language support files

smplayer 0.6.9

#125 Post by JorgenS »

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 :)
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. :)

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.
ttuuxxx

PS I replaced the kde icons with gnome/gtk :) 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 :)

here's a program for people who like electronics
QElectroTech is a Qt4 application to design electric diagrams. It uses XML
files for elements and diagrams, and includes both a diagram editor and an
element editor.
The 0.2 version brings the concept of project file. Each .qet file now contains 0 to n electric diagrams and embeds an elements collection, so that the .qet file does not depend of any other file. This version also includes many improvements both in the element editor and in the diagram editor.

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

I assume given its age that this app is for use with Legacy GRUB not GRUB2 ? It is an important distinction.

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!

Lol about time this thread wakes up, I spend tons of time compiling these apps, and hardly anyone downloads them, So I take the easyway and link a few images from there release notes, and boom people are talking, lol

Ok since I woke you up, I'll delete the big images, grrrrrrrr

Good man - agog am I for Terry's awakening. He lives in deepest W. Wales, much further out into the Atlantic, so the sun may not be with him yet?
