Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Delivered-To: mint@fishpool.com Delivered-To: mint@lists.fishpool.fi X-ecartis-version: Ecartis v1.0.0 Sender: mint-bounce@lists.fishpool.fi Errors-to: mint-bounce@lists.fishpool.fi X-original-sender: kws@saltmine.radix.net Precedence: bulk List-help: List-unsubscribe: List-ID: X-List-ID: Compiled Gimp, appears to only require about 3 patches so far, which is not too bad. It did take about 24 hours to compile on a 68060 though. Now comes the sort of. I can get it running from the Falcon on a remote X Session, seems to run real well just screwing around, a little slow, but not too horrible, hard to tell if it is network lag or CPU. I can't get it to work locally, and it is mostly because of the fonts.alias file for the GEM XServer. Anyone have a good one they could share? Running NVDI 5, Xaaes, with Teradesk if that matters. My other problem is that it seems to depend a little on Perl's dynamic loading. It complains about it on execution, but thus far I have had little problem messing around with a 300k jpeg. Now this could be fixed by rebuilding Perl with support built in statically, but then anyone who wanted this package would need to replace Perl as well. As far as optimizations, any suggestions what CPU I should compile this app for? They recommend a Pentium 200 with 32 Megs of RAM min, but I have heard as low as a 486 with 16 Megs is all that is needed. I was thinking originally doing it for the 68060 only, but I was able to compile it for just all m68k. I seriously doubt this will run on a 68000, 020, who knows about an 030, maybe slow, but might just work. So, any and all input is welcomed. I'd share binaries, but right now I do not have an easy way to put together a package, and it is time to turn in. Don't knwo what GiMP is? www.gimp.org Keith
