Siag Office - tiny office suite
I was searching for a spreadsheet, saw that twobob had gnumeric working at one time, but then found this: http://siag.nu/
It has more than I was planning on, but might be a good fit for this device. I'm still learning to compile things for the Kindle, and I did this on the debian image on the Kindle. From some instructions I found on the web: http://www.debian-administration.org...pirit/weblog/1 Code:
1. Install some dependencies # aptitude install libxmu-dev libxaw7-dev libxpm-dev libncurses-dev 2. Download the latest (years-old) tar.gz files for neXtaw, XawM, Mowitz, and siag from http://www.siag.nu. 3. Untar and compile: $ tar xvfz neXtaw-0.15.1.tar.gz $ cd neXtaw-0.15.1 $ ./configure $ make # make install $ cd .. $ tar xvfz XawM-1.5u.tar.gz $ cd XawM-1.5u $ ./configure $ make # make install $ cd .. $ tar xvfz Mowitz-0.3.1.tar.gz $ cd Mowitz-0.3.1 $ ./configure $ make # make install $ cd .. $ tar xvfz siag-3.6.1.tar.gz $ cd siag-3.6.1 $ ./configure $ make # make install $ cd .. Code:
Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C Warning: X locale modifiers not supported, using default Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetic-medium-**CLIP**" to type FontStruct Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset Panic: can't load any fonts! Anyway, I messed with this for a couple nights now and am ready to give up again. Anyone else who would like to give this a try? I had to search for each package on the web, if you want I can post them here. Doesn't take very long to get it compiled. The word processor needs a button added or some way to enable the keyboard, the file manager isn't awesome, but might be better than the other one (pcmanfm). A spreadsheet would be handy for simple things. I didn't bother to post it yet, as siag doesn't work. Comments? Suggestions? |

Have you tried to apt-get the:
libt1-dev package? That should have the missing bits required at 'build time'. But once you get it to build, I am at a loss for suggestions if it doesn't 'just work'. Last edited by knc1; 10-03-2013 at 09:11 AM. |

so after a bit of titting around:
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Panic: can't load any fonts! So let's find that: [root@kindle root]# strings /mnt/us/extensions/siag/usr/bin/siag | grep helv Quote:
I patched it with ghex to be 14 (cos we have one of those, in the previous font packs I posted) (you could use sed) and checked it again: [root@kindle root]# strings /mnt/us/extensions/siag/usr/bin/siag | grep helv Quote:
(I fluffed the paths to my fonts. meh. w/e) [root@kindle root]# xset +fp /mnt/us/extensions/siag/Mowitz/fonts/X11/100dpi/100dpi/ and run it. (probably should have embedded an rpath but the makefile was HUGLY) [root@kindle root]# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/us/extensions/siag/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH /mnt/us/extensions/siag/usr/bin/siag Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion no explosion... So I guess that font package I posted is looking good for the job. Guess I need to patch the titles (or you do) or fronter it. EDIT: gave it a poke with the [root@kindle root]# /mnt/us/extensions/fronter/bin/search.sh siag siag Defaulting to search window name, class, and classname (pictured) I did go back and patch a bit of the sources to see if I could convince the 12 to BE a 14 briefly but buggered if I can find where they hid it. here's a quick list of the things I patched and their new values root@kindle:/usr/local/src/siag-3.6.1# grep -R "helv" ./* | grep -v "Binary" Quote:

From all you did here, this project was just a bit over my head, I see. Still learning, THANK YOU - AGAIN!
Will you be posting it, twobob? Do you like it? Seems pretty 'old school' linux, but might be simple enough to work well for this. |

Project was broken long before you touched it. I would have to go through it all - doubtless there are more broken references to missing fonts. perhaps I should try patching the fonts to match the stuff we DO have available. Unsure. Might post. maybe. |

hey don't worry about it. if it's too big a PITA, there are plenty of other software to play with, right? it just seemed like a good idea at the time. thanks for looking and doing so much!
