New Packages Uploaded To Unstable Feed

[danr]

Hi all,

I've uploaded some files to the pdaxrom unstable feed.  The packages are compiled with the RC8 SDK but should work OK with RC9.  Thanks to pgas for lending me his account to do this.

Emulators

Package: e-uae
Description: Amiga emulator.  It's about as fast as other compiled versions of UAE (i.e. a bit slow)

Package: spectemu
Description: Spectrum emulator

Package: tiemu
Description: TI89/92/92+ calculator emulator. Also installs libticables 1.5.3, libticalcs 4.2.8, libtifiles 0.4.0.  No ROMS included

GPS / mapping apps

Package: viking
Description: gps mapping tool

Music apps

Package: beast
Description: The BEdevilled Audio SysTem.  I was quite excited to get this working as it's a modular synth, but unfortunately it's too slow to use (floating point?).  If it crashes on start-up, remove the scripts from /usr/local/share/bse/v0.5.6/scripts (I should have already removed the offending scripts)

Package: soundtracker
Description: A pattern-oriented music editor.  Again a bit slow in use

Accountancy apps

Package: grisbi
Description: A personal accounting application for Linux.  Has some bug-fixes to remember the position of the columns (useful on a small screen).  Hint: Edit the config file and change the position of the divider between the account list and the transactions to 1, <Largeur_colonne_comptes_operation>1</Largeur_colonne_comptes_operation>

Package: ledger
Description: A command-line accounting program

Package: qhacc
Description: Accounts program.  Compiled with SQLite support

Utils

Package: atvguide
Description: XMLTV viewer, a bit like qttv

Package: autonice
Description: A program to automatically lower the priority level of long-lived processes.

Package: delegate
Description: Gateway / proxy server

Package: mrxvt
Description: Multi-tabbed terminal emulator.  I use this instead of aterm.  Read the docs for keyboard shortcuts

Package: msysm
Description: MasarLabs System Monitor.  I can only get this to work when exporting the display to my host PC.  I use this when compiling on the Z - shut down Xwindows and keep the memory for compiling

Mostly used for development

Package: bison
Description: Bison parser generator

Package: flex
Description: flex

Package: gmp
Description: GMU MP arbitrary precision arithmetic library

Package: guile
Description: Project GNU's extension language

Package: m4
Description: m4 macro processor

Libraries

Package: gstreamer
Description: A framework for streaming media

Package: libmikmod
Description: A portable sound library

Package: libsigc++
Description: The Typesafe Callback Framework for C++

Package: swig
Description: Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator



Hope they are of some use to people

Hi!

Great job - very useful programms, but don't work on RC9.1. I have checked grisbi, qhacc, e-uae. E-uae - segmentation fault. QHAcc & Grisbi start but can't change preference or save data. Can you recompile grisbi with RC9 SDK?

Good luck,

Konstantin.

neato burrito.  I am a musician as well, and was thinking of porting a tracker to pdaX.  I haven't had the time to try it out but what aspects of the tracker are you using?  I mean, some old school trackers ran on machines that were way less powerful than the Z, so I imagine that its possible to find a tracker that runs smoothly.  Maybe even getting one of the terminal trackers configured (is there one? I know there were DOS ones.)  

Are you experiencing the performance hits in an idle state just moving around the gui? Or, are you using the general midi soundset (and how did you get the libraries for that to work), or alternatively, are you using samples/plugins? (the later I would imagine would crap out the Z)

Crazy shit, I must say.  This is the power of linux right here.  Just imagine if the Z had a little more power.  I can imagine myself working on small piano parts using a tracker and midi soundsets which really shouldn't take up that many resources.

Lemme know your experiences! I'll try it out probably in a couple of days when I get organized.

I installed this version of mrxvt.  Works well except for transparency.  Had anyone else had any luck?  Is this something that needs to be compiled in?

With transparency, I would dump aterm for this in a second.

Thanks.
