Merry X-max!
« on: December 28, 2005, 03:26:13 pm »
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 (0.5.8):
(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 0.7.8).


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.html
bc 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?

sure, I will mirror your apps asap.

I didn't mirror the other ones because:
- I'm sometime a bit lazy
- I was wondering what I should do with all the hints you put in the thread and the non-ipk files that you  have attached with your ipk(for instance for vym you have attached the sample file in tar.gz and documentation in pdf format...)

one thing you can do is to provide me with your notes in html format like vym.html with links to the files that are not ipks (I will mirror these to) (and also vym.png if you want a link to your screenshot) so that they will be added automatically in the feed page

That's a brilliant idea!  Let me create a vym-style html page and send it to you asap (may need 1 or 2 days).   Thanks!

Almost forgot to add the JPilot GTK2 version (now attached in the 1st post).  Maybe time to sit back and enjoy playing (on top of compiling) them ...

I've got libpisock in /usr/lib in my system (RC12, C1000).  Which machine or system are you using?  If it's not there in your Z let me know and I can PM it to you.

You can use in a terminal:
Code: [Select]
ipkg search libpisock
to find from which ipk you get this lib.

Oops, sorry I should've mentioned that JPilot requires Pilot-Link (which include libpisock) to run and sync.  The pointer has been added in the first post.

Just want to tell you that Miroslav Rajcic, the developer, has updated the source codes  with some cleanup of dir names and the version number.
The updated 1.1.4pre2 version has already been added to the first post.  
Also I made the Traditional Chinese locale and corrected the Simplified Chinese one.  Please tell me if there is anything wrong/weird/inconsistent.  Thanks!
Enjoy!

(to Chero: NoteCase is actually much better, sorry    ),


I'll try it. I've actually been trying apps whole week long, every spare minit I've got (grisbi, e17, KDE, ...........).
If I want to try everything I find here, I won't have any time left to use my Z  

It looks good, do they have a WIN2K version ? (sorry, stuck with it at work).

Have fun,
Chero.
HP-95LX -> HP Jornada 680 -> SL-C860 -> SL-C3100 -> Fuji u810 -> SL-C1000 -> HTC uni -> SL-C860 -> SL-C760.

Pandora pre-ordered -> received and tested : great device but not my cup of tea -> sold.

Yes, NoteCase also has a Winbloze version running under the GTK+/Win32 Runtime Environment .

It seems you're having lots of big fun trying out all the great new stuff, don't you?

... So it would be wonderful if someone can get OpenSP and libofx compiled ...
 

Here is the dev stuff.  Sorry, they are not in packages.
The static libs and docs have been removed.  Nothing is stripped.  

OpenSP_dev_1.5.1_armv5tel.tar.gz
libofx_dev_0.8.0_armv5tel.tar.gz

Here are the packages.
No docs or includes and everything is stripped.

Thanks, dtruchan!  But still when configuring grisbi it still complains about missing libofx header.  It is found in the source of libofx, though.  So how and where can I include this?
