Hi, here are a few very nice apps that I compiled during the holidays. All are GTK-based so international inputmethods, such as scim, are fully supported!
NoteCase (1.1.4 prerelease2): (Updated; those who downloaded the previous pre1 pls download again & use this one )
Homepage:
http://notecase.sourceforge.net/NoteCase is a hierarchical note manager (aka. outliner).
-- At last a GTK-based outliner no less functional than TuxCards (besides VIM and EMACS for the nerds and geeks and ultra-power users ). More than that, NoteCase support encryption, flexible import/export features, file/URL/inter-note linking, and multilanguage support (inlcuding inputmethods). Personally I find NoteCase more mature than other alternatives, such as figment (to Chero: NoteCase is actually much better, sorry ), gtklepin, knowde, etc.
Xpad (2.10): Homepage:
http://xpad.sourceforge.net/xpad is a sticky note application written using GTK+ 2.0 that strives to be simple, fault-tolerant, and customizable. xpad consists of independent pad windows; each is basically a text box in which notes can be written.
-- Although not as feature-rich as StickyNotes, Xpad is still a good GTK-based alternative. Again international multilanguage inputmethods (e.g. scim) are supported!
Grisbi (0.5.
: (Updated! Please install this version and together with
libofx (the stripped version) compiled by dtruchan in post #13 below, and
libxml2 from the feeds if you haven't done so)
Homepage:
http://www.grisbi.org/Grisbi is a personnal accounting application running under GNU/Linux and Windows, released under the GPL licence.
-- The two old pacakges (0.5.0) and (0.5.5) seem to be broken. I guess someone out there may need a good financial app on pdaX as badly as I do.
--
[Updated] Usable and functional, except two places to get segfault (still dunno why and not solution yet):
1. Preferences > Display > Font & logo > Fonts
2. File > Import (Despite the fact that this newer version is compiled
with ofx support (which support import/export more common file formats such as .QIF), and segfaults when using the Import function.
Will email the developers to ask them later.
Leafpad (0.8.5) Homepage:
http://tarot.freeshell.org/leafpad/GTK+ based simple text editor
-- A great alternative comparable to ZEditor on Sharp/Cacko. This is the latest version (the one in the feeds is 0.7.

.
Cire (0.14.0) Homepage:
http://cire.sourceforge.net/Cire is a Free and Open-Source Program for keeping an Electronic Journal or Diary.
-- So far I haven't come across any app specifically made for this purpose. Maybe this one can fill the gap.
(Added: You can also launch it in the console ncurses mode with the -n option).
JPilot (0.99.8 GTK2 version) Oops. Almost forgot to put these:
Main program:
(Requires
Pilot-Link. Please download cjb's pilot-link-0.12.0-pre4-armv5tel.ipk in
http://www.neonbox.org/zaurus/index.html. )
Manuals and documentations:
Homepage:
http://www.jpilot.org/J-Pilot is a desktop organizer application for PalmOS devices. It is meant to be an alternative to the Palm Desktop for those who run the most popular Operating Systems in the World, Linux and Unix.
-- Actually cjb compiled a non-GTK version earlier on (see
https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...16303&hl=jpilot ). Recently I also got an Abacus Wrist PDA (
http://www.abacuswatches.com/index.html# geeeeeeky ) at around USD60 from ebay. As I need CJK support I ended up compiling this version, also with cjb's patches (
http://www.neonbox.org/zaurus/index.html ) . Kinda works, despite the not so perfect oversized screens (need to force maximized in my WindowMaker setting). Discussions and details are found in that thread.
bc (1.06) [ Invalid Attachment ]
Homepage:
http://www.gnu.org/software/bc/bc.htmlbc is an arbitrary precision numeric processing language. Syntax is similar to C, but differs in many substantial areas. It supports interactive execution of statements. bc is a utility included in the POSIX P1003.2/D11 draft standard.
-- Somehow when compiling some apps I cannot get the locale files (esp the .po files) converted and installed as the target .mo files in the system. This is compiled when building NoteCase.
Wish you all happy "X-max" and a more productive new year!
P.S. So, pgas, do you think it is a good idea for me to send my apps to the contrib page?
