.pet for MindGuard

[Kristjan]

Hi! I need help with getting this program to run. It's been bugging me for months...
I tried linux because of this program and started to love it but I still cannot get the program to run. Any help? I'm running the latest, regular Puppy 5.3.1 release.

Thank you in advance!

Hi
The linux version is a tgz file, which I think will install with the puppy installer, but you may have to compile it, which will need the devx to be installed first

That looks like some crazy stuff to me....- mind the gooks don't getcha....

I reckon one of John Lear's tin foil hat's should do the same job.

I installed gtk+ and glib 12.1.2.10 libraries from the Puppy 3 repository, and gdk_pixbuf10-0.22.0 (all the dependencies for GTK+ 1.2) and devx. Now the make command actually does something but GTK wont work.

# cd /mindguard-0.0.0.4
# make
gcc `gtk-config --cflags` mindguard.c -o mindguard `gtk-config --libs`
/bin/sh: gtk-config: command not found
/bin/sh: gtk-config: command not found
In file included from mindguard.c:36:0:
mindguard.h:3:21: fatal error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [mindguard] Error 1

What to do?

I am hardly surprised that Belgium is now recognized as non existent
(I remember having visited - but how reliable is that?)

Here I conclusively prove that the Eiffel Tower is non existent

I would warn those running such software and wearing tin hats . . . these are
used as homing beacons by the MIB, Aliens and others.
Not as deterrent as some of you have been led to believe . . .

Some are beginning to question the existence of the Raspberry Pi . . .
oh Ye, of Little Faith . . .

how come you used puppy 3 respository and not slacko, you may need newer gtk version, check mindguard documentation

[Kristjan]

I've not come across any similar programs so I'm willing to take that risk
I just wanted to install something certain and I thought 1.2 would work well. I don't really want to experiment, just get the thing running.
Plus I cannot find anything to install in the Puppy 5 or Slacko repositories when I search for GTK anyway. What version do I need to make MindGuard work?
E: I'm trying to compile the latest GTK+ 3.4.0 but I ran into some trouble: glib wont compile ( a dependency) because it says I have libffi missing even though I installed it (at least I think so). Do I need to set some environmental variables or something?

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBFFI_CFLAGS
and LIBFFI_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

How do I do this? I instaled pkg-config too but I haven't configured anything. They both installed to /usr/local/lib
Is that OK?

Perhaps this may help?

No idea if this is how it's supposed to work, but you can try this .pet. It's under Fun on the menu.

E: The program is a sham, if you check the source code you can see that the depsych utility never stops and that the messages are randomly decoded from the carrier files. They are cool though, very imaginative author.
