[Solved...] Rendera - yet another GIMP alternative...

[ncmprhnsbl]

rendera-0.2.0.xzm 480 kb
only thing compiled is the binary, added file structure, .desktop file and included licence and man..
doesn't appear to need any runtime deps , not even fltk..
gimp alternative? i think gimp has some more features..
but it seems to do what it does ok...

Never heard of that. When not using GIMP I use mtpaint. I downloaded it and give you heads up as soon as I can test it.
Currently I am with my Android.

Just install it, open a console and type "rendera".

Enjoy!

I just ran it in my LXDE with no problems. I had to start it from LXTerminal by typing redera.

i followed the instructions on github:
1. clone the repo (or unpack the tarball)
2.get fltk source and unpack into rendera dir
3. $ make fltk
4.$ make
5.a rendera binary appears

How did you create the module? Its man page should not be in /usr/share/man .
Slackware uses /usr/man .
And then it should not be called "rendera.man" either, the ending usually is a number according to the category it is put in, in this case its path and name should be /usr/man/man1/rendera.1

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/mnt/live/memory/images/rendera-0.2.0.xzm# man rendera
No manual entry for rendera
[...]
root@porteus:/mnt/live/memory/images/rendera-0.2.0.xzm# mv /usr/share/man/rendera.man /usr/man/man1/rendera.1
root@porteus:/mnt/live/memory/images/rendera-0.2.0.xzm# man rendera

RENDERA(1)                  General Commands Manual                 RENDERA(1)

NAME
       rendera - A painting program.

SYNOPSIS
       rendera [OPTIONS] file...

Cave! In some Porteus enironments, e.g. 4.0rc4 there is usually not a single man page installed, so the above "fix" won't work, you would have to create the folders first via mkdir -p /usr/man/man1/.

HTH!

(I hope the above did not come across as arrogant or similar; I just did not sleep very well last night and my brain feels like its not really awake…)

i just jammed it together and rather than just leaving the man out i just stuck it where-ever...
thanks for the info ..

Now you know how to correctly include a man page into your module.
Cheers
