xredit: "This editor is a simple, but powerful editor to run under XWindows. It features an intuitive user surface with mouse support, multiple file editing, formatting service and makros." Besides that it screams for some visual styling... 
Download and unpack the source. Running make gives the following error: /usr/lib/gcc/i486-t2-linux-gnu/4.2.2/../../../../i486-t2-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11 Change CFFLAGS-line in makefile to:
The -DBLACK0 -DNOIBM is specific for this program - just passing some settings... Now it works. Stripped binary is 77K with this modest dependency list: libX11, libc, libXau, libXdmcp and libdl. The make file does not respond to "make clean". You have to delete files manually or add the following in the end of the makefile:
Note: The space before rm is a tab. Lets make the binary smaller. Change CC-line in makefile to:
Run make and strip - now binary is 56K - that's 25% smaller. We could knock of another 1k by using sstrip Anyone know how to make it smaller or how to compile with Xau and Xdmcp as static libs? |

to compile xau and xdmcp as static, you should first build x11 to use the static libs, but you would need to add -fpic or -fPIC to CFLAGS when you compile them ... just delete their .so file so that the linker uses libXau.a etc... otherwise there is no point, since libX11 has those as dependencies chances are xau and xdmcp won't even need to be linked then. if you link xau and xdmcp into x11, you may also want to replace them with symlinks to x11 keep in mind that this would be very nonstandard _________________ Puppy Web Desktop Now with pet packages - Pet Packaging 100 & 101 |

I see...thanks! Wish one could edit post here as my first post could need some adjustments after testing in a fresh frugal P412 environment... Why is that disabled here? |

I'm avoiding posting here (except this, obviously) till it's sorted... The mods are aware, but as yet, no action. _________________ Akita Linux, VLC-GTK, Pup Search, Pup File Search |
