by After a few months of trying to recompile software for my MkLinux system,
sometimes successfully, sometimes not, I thought it would be helpful to
make my binary packages publically available. (Especially since the stuff I
contribute to ftp.linuxppc.org never seems to make into the contrib
directory.) My longer-term plan is to monitor the KDE - Applications page
and compile and package as much new stuff as I can.
I hope this will be useful to people who don't have development tools
installed, users of the mini-LinuxPPC's, those, like me, who prefer RPMS
and those who didn't have the right voodoo in place to get a particular app
to compile.
Check out <http://members.tripod.com/jbsinger/kde_on_ppc.html> These
packages have only been tested on my system (MkLinux DR3) and I'd be very
interested to get feedback on whether they work for you, as well as ideas
on how I could improve the page. Available packages now are:
kfourier 1.1 - Image processing application with lots of filters
kdiff-0.8.2 - KDE front-end for diff
kcpumon-0.2 - Percent CPU indicator for kpanel
kmemmon-0.2 - Memory monitor for kpanel
knewmail-2.4 - New mail notifier which displays headers
ktelnet-0.61 - KDE front-end for telnet, rlogin, ssh
kdf-0.3.13 - Gives you a graphical overview of your system's disks
ksendfax-0.3.1 - Front-end for fax software
qps-1.6 - My favorite process monitor (ktop completely does not work for
me)
fltk-199990113 - C++ user interface toolkit for X and OpenGL
