I'm just recompiling things I see as shared libs where they should be bin exe files Smile

Hi.

I'll agree to woof-CE doing your head in, generally!

I think I can agree with the rest of your paragraph as well, because I tend
to work the same as you do: I get the base from woof-CE and remaster
using unsquash / mksquash plus some reference directories.

My pekwm and wmx WMs and utilities are never going to get accepted in
woof, so I found other ways to offer them to Puppyists.

On another subject:
I loaded my loyal DOSBox sfs, tried a program and nothing happened. I
had to build SDL-1.2 and SDL2-2 to understand what was wrong.

Here's the news: Smile

Our DpupStetch-7 does not have the required sdl-config scripts in
/usr/bin. Check in /initrd, you'll see.

It has the libs, but not the config scripts, curiously. If anybody needs
these scripts, please download the attachment.

I suspect it's all that's needed to get dosbox going. At least regarding
SDL-1.2 (I don't "consciously" Smile

know of programs which need SDL2).
It worked on my Pup.

Should you also need a fresh compilation of the entire SDL libs, just holler.

IHTH. BFN.

Hi all,

@ttuuxxx, thank you for the "epdf-view" and especially the fix with Geany (like the fact it has numbered lines again).

@oscar & musher--thank you, Oscar, for elfedit tip and Musher, thank you for putting it in a script. Much easier that way after compiling something and checking Wink

@futwerk, I like those 2 new backgrounds you just did for dpup. Thanks!

Overall, since the additions from yesterday, I added JWMDesk---just flatout stole it out of phil's latest Tahr and transplanted it into this dpup-stretch. After doing little corrective stuff with the .desktop and .jwmrc files, it fires right up and allows for mutliple tray management and corrections. Much better than just slapping a jwmrc-tray2 in manually like I did on the ISO I uploaded.

I also was able to drop Fred's (from his Debian/XenialDogs) excellent DogRadio right in all the folders it requires, and it too works great in dpup-stretch.

@billtoo, if you are reading this, thank you for getting me to try smtube and smtube-youtube downloader. I really like it. I tried repeatedly to get 'Youtube-Getv2' to work, but could not. I tried .debs, .pets, and finally ripping it straight out of other working pups to see if would work, and couldn't get it going. But once I tried smtube and its youtube manager, I was hooked. I have one question though: can I ask which you use? I made the mistake of downloading both from PPM, and the install was nearly 90MB! Shocked

Do you use .pets of them, and which ones?? Thanks.

Lastly, at you all, I've got this weird 'freemapapplet' behavior that whenever I want to 'restart' jwm window manager or JWMDesk Manager or even restarting the graphical server (via the Exit button), freemapapplet duplicates itself in the jwm-tray and keeps replicating itself endlessly matching each time I do jwm/X restarts. I have to manually cancel each tray icon replication. None of the other tray icons (retrovol, firewall, netmon, etc) do this. (I'll post a pic in a few minutes, after I restart jwm 4or 5 times, there will be 4 or 5 freemappapplet icons)

What could be causing this?? (picture below is of 4 jwm-restarts after original bootup---so the total is 5 freemapapplet icons)
