After some tedious experiment and research, I think that Stardict 3.0.1 is not able to port to iLiad. I was blocked because it requires GTK+ 2.12 above. The current SDK released by iRex uses GTK+2.6.7.
With this experience, I would suggest that checking lib dependency of the software you want to port to iLiad is important. Older linux software may have higher possibility to make sussefull porting to iLiad. |

Problem HELP!!
When I try to download the stardict program it says that the host is not found I have tried to download other things but they have the same result. If some could help that would be greatly appreciated. I have attached a picture of it saying host not found.

My solution of this problem:
1) login as root 2) change dir to /scratchbox/users/<your scrbox username>/ 3) use wget 4) login as scratchbox and compile it |

The easiest solution is to edit dl-and-install script this way:
find the line "wget $i" and change it to "lynx -dump $i > `basename $i`" and that it! The only problem is that you don't see progress while downloading... so you have to be patient. |

Debian openssl security flaw relevance
Hi!
As I understand it, this vmware image was built on debian. Is the openssl library installed on it, and is it one of the versions affected by the recent debian openssl critical security flaw? I'm referring to http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1571 In short, what the above link says, is that on debian linux distributions any public keys generated by the flawed openssl library is easily predicted, and unfortunately the flawed openssl version has been in production since late 2006, I believe. |

Since the VMWare image was created more than one year ago, I suspect there are other security updates necessary as well. So when you download it, it's best to run a system upgrade first before using it. |

Hi,
Thanks for the VMWare image, it's really great ! ... However, I can't compile my programs... In fact, I got a long error message when I run the makefile, saying packages are not found (libcurl for example) do you know where I made a mistake ? |

The image probably doesn't have every package you need. You likely need to download, compile, and install the latest version of curl.

I tried "sudo apt-get install libcurl3 libcurl3-dev" ... But it seems it didn't work... any idea ?
EDIT : lol ... hum, I think I wasn't really awake when I wrote that ... For people who will read this post in the future, just do as usual when you install a package : wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.15.5.tar.gz (for example) and then use the super script unpack-n-patch-n-build-install.sh .... However, I get now : Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc' ... so I try to install gtk+-2.0, but there I have this error : configure: error: Library requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.0.0 atk >= 1.0.0 pango >= 1.0.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. ??? Have I to re-install every library ?!? Last edited by kran; 06-17-2008 at 06:02 AM. |

I depends which version of GTK you're using. If you use the most recent, then yeah, you'll have to compile all of it's dependencies. You may want to see the minimum version required for your program and use that.

The scratchbox environment in VM has got an installed gtk+-2.0.
I built GTK+ 2.12.x because I was bored/some apps needed more recent gtk dep libraries. ;-) |

I´m interested in including the dev.pack in my debian installation? Is there a howto / description what packages are needed?

Or you can use the official SDK (download sextion on the iRex site). @the one who have problems with wget in scratchbox environment: ./configure, make the latest version of wget & copy the binary wget to /scratchbox/tools/bin/wget You have to change the rights with chmod outside of scratchbox to get writing rights in /scratchbox/tools/bin Then are the "host not found" messages gone. Anybody interested in the binary? |
