Hi all

I have submited a ebuild to the Gentoo distribution, so now ShowEQ is part of Gentoo, still masked though.

Great Job! Are you going to maintain the ebuild or how does that work? I've never paid a whole lot of attention to how you get ebuilds into Gentoo. Also, it looks like its unmasked now :)

Yes i will send new ebuilds to the gentoo games team, when a new ShowEQ is released.
And yes it just got unmasked a few days ago becource its out of "testing periode". :-)

Hail hjc, Nice work on the ebuild.

Do you have any plans to make a showeq-cvs ebuild?

I wouldn't recommend it until CVS at SF.net gets better. Besides, the tarball is what is currently in CVS.

Wow, very interesting. Is anyone using this flavor of Linux? Im assuming since you've made this ebuild its a simple package to install on Gentoo? plug and play? *gasp*

looks like SEQ 5 is going to need autoconf 2.5 to get it to build on its own.

some possibilities from the IRC channel are:

set envvar WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5 to 1
or
set AC_PREREQ to 2.5 in configure.in

For RH users with Autoconf 2.13 do the following in the src/ directory:

/usr/lib/qt3/bin/uic mapicondialog.ui > ui_mapicondialog.h
/usr/lib/qt3/bin/uic -impl ui_mapicondialog.h mapicondialog.ui > ui_mapicondialog.cpp

after you run configure but before you run make.

Well, I've added Gentoo 1.4 to my development box, thus allowing me to dual boot between Gentoo and RedHat 9.

On the subject of autoconf, I've come up with a workaround for autoconf 2.13's mishandling of things that will be included in my next Beta release (coming real soon now). Now I've just got to upgrade my RedHat 8 box to Fedora and I should be all set.

Enjoy,
