Are you going to port this when you get it figured out? I just sent I was very impressed by the port of 0.99.10 that eric hernes did--it was *much* more stable that 0.99.10 unpatched was on linux. He seemd to have gathered some patches together which really improved things... I hope he'll continue to maintain it (though if anything I've done is of any help, that's great.) > an email to -ports complaining about installing gtk, and I got the > following slightly cryptic reply.

I look in the GNATS database and found someone had submitted a patch for gtk (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=4649). I couldn't get it to go on cleanly (probably spacing issues since I just copy&pasted it off the website), but it was quite simple and I made the changes by hand. It compiled and installed (relatively) clean. > > Good luck and godspeed, > > Brian > ----------------------------8< Snip 8<---------------------------- > > >From albast@xs4all.nl Sun Oct 12 11:43:51 1997 > Date: Sun, 12 Oct 1997 19:47:22 +0200 (MET DST) > From: albast <albast@xs4all.nl> > To: "Brian N.

Ah--this was an easy one that Vanilla found--you just need to tell configure that install is INSTALL="/usr/bin/install -c" Not sure what happens otherwise, but it tries to run "../" instead of "/usr/bin/install" or somesuch silliness and that doesn't work very well =). > > > > If someone-more-worthy-than-I would like to have a quick look, I threw it > > in ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/gtk.tar.gz.

I guess I'll take him at face value and translate "move" into "remove". I've whipped up "ports" of gimp-0.99.13 and gtk+092597 and they are available at http://www.people.healthquiz.com/sfarrell/projects.html. I #ifndef'd out the calls to shmctl(). These are not well tested or complete ports, but them seem to work ok, and it's a *hell* of a lot faster than disabling shared memory, so i'm happy. I assume that Vanilla and Eric will maintain these ports in the future, but hopefully what I've done might be of a tiny bit of help. At least, it should get people up and running now if they way. Oh yeah--I keep running into this problem with ports--"strip" tries to strip scripts and fails. I once spent like a half-an-hour trying to find where it was told to do this and almost died of frustration. Any easy fix for this? Unless you can fix this, you'll have to do make -k install to get gimp to install. -- Steve Farrell
