[HOW-TO] make an new gcin binary

[feng]

i didn't post this since i am too stupid to make a script,
hope someone else can make whole thing as a script.

brief: gcin is a software to input chinese, japanese, korean in *nix.



1. first of all, download gcin-<version>.tar.xz from http://cle.linux.org.tw/gcin/download/

2. untar it.

3. put the following script "configure-for-porteus" in src dir and run it.



==========================
configure-for-porteus

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
if [ ! -x ./configure ]; then
echo "You can't start 'configure-for-porteus' in a directory with no 'configure' script"
exit 1
fi

============================


you have to make the comeputer to remember the flag to compile:

Code: Select all

CFLAGS="-O3 -march=i486 -mtune=i686" \
./configure --prefix=/usr --build=i486-Slackware-linux "$@"

in case that you have the problem while compiling gcin:

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/qt4/bin/moc gcin-qt.h -o moc_gcin-qt.cpp make[1]:
/usr/lib/qt4/bin/moc: Command not found make[1]: ***

please download qt-4 package and install and do the following commands:

Code: Select all

mkdir /usr/lib/qt4
mkdir /usr/lib/qt4/bin
ln -s /usr/lib/qt/bin/moc  /usr/lib/qt4/bin/moc
ln -s /usr/lib/gcin/libgcin-im-client.so.1.2.5 /usr/lib/gcin/libgcin-im-client.so.1

and follow the script in http://porteus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=861

Code: Select all

make
find /mnt/live/memory/changes -type f > /tmp/oldchanges


make install
find /mnt/live/memory/changes -type f > /tmp/newchanges
cd ../
diff /tmp/oldchanges /tmp/newchanges > files
cat files | grep -v "tmp/newchanges" | grep ">" | sed 's_>  /mnt/live/memory/changes__' > newfiles
rm temp.tar
cat newfiles| xargs tar cf temp.tar
rm -rf temp
mkdir temp
tar xf temp.tar -C temp
dir2xzm temp X.xzm

and now, this X.xzm is the thing what we want, rename it to gcin <version>.xzm and move it to the module directory.


-----
sorry. it aint finished yet...
some files needs to be created...


the following file is my walking nodule


the link upated at 01:45 27.02.2012 (CST)
http://www.mediafire.com/file/flxc3s3yx ... 3-i486.xzm


cp the things under /etc and /root to yours


and run dir2xzm, that`s it


please feel free to correct me.
thank you.

[fanthom]

@feng
thanks for the HOWTO

i would change few things:
1) "configure-for-porteus" is not necessary. when ./configure is missing executable bit the you can still run it with 'sh' command.
i would do it with one command:

Code: Select all

test -x ./configure && ./configure || sh ./configure

2) i would mention that for 64bit Porteus edition 'CFLAGS=' are different (march= and mtune= are not necessary), also build host is different:

Code: Select all

CFLAGS="-O3 -fPIC" \
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --build=x86_64-Slackware-linux "$@"

3) instead of using the script from http://porteus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=861 you do the same in more elegant way

Code: Select all

make
mkdir /tmp/gcim
make install DESTDIR=/tmp/gcim
dir2xzm /tmp/gcim gvim-version-arch-build.xzm

it would be more than perfect if you could create txz package from /tmp/gcim (with slack-desc and using makepkg tool) and then convert it to xzm

[feng]

hi fanthom,

first of all, thanks for your information, i have updated the file already.

i need sometime to understand those two command lines...

[Ahau]

Excellent, feng!!

I wanted to compile this for 64-bit for another user. A link is here: http://porteus-xfce.googlecode.com/file ... 1_Ahau.xzm

For other's use, here's my slackbuild. I copied one I already had lying around for midori, so some of the comment text might not apply perfectly (I was in a hurry):

Put the script in the same directory as the source code, run 'chmod +x gcin.SlackBuild' to make it executeable, and run it: './gcin.SlackBuild'. It helps to have a slack-desc and doinst.sh there as well:

This script will create a slackware .txz package inside /tmp, and you can convert that package to xzm format with the txz2xzm utility. I set this up to remove the qt4 dependency, so this will run in XFCE and LXDE without relying on qt. Perhaps we should consider this for the language-selection-tool (together with some asian fonts? two billion people can't be wrong...)

Cheers!

[feng]

Hi Ahau!

many thanks for your scripts

by the way, link of the font file http://diffusion.cgu.edu.tw/ftp/modules ... ng-1.6.xzm

[Hamza]

@Ahau, Your script appear to be an "noarch" compiler. It only add flags when it's a 32-Bit System. Is it normal ?

[Ahau]

it will compile 32-bit or 64-bit:

if [ -z "$ARCH" ]; then
case "$( uname -m )" in
i?86) ARCH=i486 ;;
arm*) ARCH=arm ;;
*) ARCH=$( uname -m ) ;;
esac
fi

if the system is i486, i586 or i686, it will compile as i486. If the system is not i?86 or arm, it uses uname -m, which in 64-bit porteus is x86_64.

[Hamza]

Nice! So it's a non-arch source

[brokenman]

Perhaps we should consider this for the language-selection-tool (together with some asian fonts?
Adding the option for asian fonts is not a bad idea. I'd like to find a reliable (read: long lasting) link for the asian fonts though. Gcin could be downloaded and built locally as part of the LST.

[Ahau]

feng, are you able to use gcin to input chinese text in qt3 apps, such as konsole and kwrite in Trinity? I'm not having any success there. I've got it working properly (I think) for all gtk apps and qt4 apps (tested in 64-bit KDE4, but not with qt4 apps in Trinity). I've added anthy and libchewing dependencies to provide broader support for japanese (anthy) and chinese (chewing -- not sure exactly what this adds to the base gcin), and modified the slackbuild so that it splits off the qt3 and qt4 input modules as separate .txz packages, so that users who aren't using these modules won't have missing dependencies.

I consolidated all of the environmental variables you were modifying into two scripts, /etc/profile.d/xim-gcin.csh and /etc/profile.d/xim-gcin.sh, added a .desktop entry to /etc/xdg/autostart so that gcin will start in all desktops, set it up so that the user will start typing in english and has to press ctrl+space to start typing with gcin, and modified the popup menu to include anthy and chewing entries. Please let me know if I've missed any configuration items...

You can get the module here: http://porteus-xfce.googlecode.com/file ... s-i486.xzm

A 64-bit module set up the same way is here: http://porteus-xfce.googlecode.com/file ... x86_64.xzm

Here's my updated slackbuild:

There's some commented stuff in there from an earlier experiment where I was splitting off modules for anthy and libchewing as well, but I decided to keep it all together, otherwise you get errors when you open gcin-tools. (also, for some reason, gcin-tools isn't opening from the right-click menu on the panel icons, but opens from the command line or from the system menu).

I'll keep working on qt3 app support...maybe there's something obvious I've overlooked...

[feng]

Hi Ahau!

I cannot input chinese in konsole, kwrite neither, i dont know the reason.


by the way, i found this... http://hyperrate.com/thread.php?tid=26801

the thing in my qtconfig is xim, not gcin. i dont know how to change that.

also, i can not find libgcin-im-client.so which means "qt immodule" did not load by gcin.

Code: Select all

#pgrep gcin
3381

#lsof -p 3381

at last, i got error while running your gcin.SlackBuild:

Hi feng, Sorry about that, I thought I had commented all of the PKGANTHY references out. I had written the script to split out separate packages for the anthy (japanese input) and chewing (korean input) but changed my mind and left them all together except for qt3 and qt4.

Please try the xzm packages I put together and posted on the google code page (see previous post), or to make sure you've got the latest script (maybe I updated it again after posting), try this tarball: http://porteus-xfce.googlecode.com/files/gcin.tar.gz -- it has all of the descriptions and doinst.sh. Just extract it, add the source code tarball and run it. It requires qt4, and it might require anthy and libchewing to compile as well...

[feng]

Hi Ahau,

gcin works in konsole, kwrite, ... in porteus 1.1

do you know the difference between porteus 1.1 and 1.2rc1 ?

[Ahau]

Oh, nice find, feng! Trinity has been undergoing a lot of development recently, and brokenman has been pushing out the latest of the latest for us. It may be that some change they implemented broke this functionality. When I have a moment, I'll test gcin and scim on 1.1 (or 1.0, whatever I have lying around on my backup flashdrives), and then copy the trinity module from the older version into 1.2 and retest to verify the problem is inside the trinity module. Maybe this will be the basis of a bug report that can get this fixed in future trinity releases.

[feng]
