Application upgrades for Puppy2

I have upgraded heaps of libraries, now for some applications...

osmo 0.1.6
Puppy 2.x has the 'ical' package for dairy/appointments/pim, which is a Tcl/Tk application. I want to bring Puppy2 up to a par with Puppy4 and have all GTK2 apps.
I tried the latest, 0.2.6, but got an error while compiling. I looked around, found 0.1.6, that compiles ok. That version will do for now.

libgee 0.1.5
needed by vala.
# ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --build=i486-pc-linux-gnu

vala 0.7.3
This is the Vala and Genie compiler. I want to compile some apps that are written in Genie, so need this.
# ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --build=i486-pc-linux-gnu --enable-vapigen

gtksourceview 2.4.2
Need this for some text editors, and notecase.
# ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --build=i486-pc-linux-gnu

notecase 1.9.8
A most excellent outliner. Puppy 2.1.7 had version 1.5.8.
Edit Makefile, commented out this line:
HAVE_GNOME_VFS=1

mtpaint 3.31
# ./configure gtk2 --cpu=i486 GIF jpeg tiff --prefix=/usr

libgphoto2 2.4.5
Needed by sane-backends
# ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --build=i486-pc-linux-gnu --with-drivers=all --with-libexif=auto

sane-backends 1.0.19
Need this for the Xsane scanner GUI application.
# ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --build=i486-t2-linux-gnu --enable-pnm-backend

xsane 0.996
# ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var

fotoxx 5.10.4
This is an image viewer, with some photo editing ability.
# export PREFIX="/usr"
# make

homebank 4.0.2
I used Turma to do a global replacement of all '.svg' in source files with '.png', as have my own (much smaller) images.
# ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --without-ofx

gftp 2.0.19
FTP client, also does secure-FTP transfers.
# ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --build=i486-pc-linux-gnu

fpm2 0.75
Figaro's Password Manager2.
# ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
Errors in po/cs.po, so have removed it. ...hmmm, had to remove all
the .po translations before it would compile.

seamonkey 1.1.16
Get this patch from t2-project.org:
# patch -p1 < ../gtk2-x11-libs.patch
# ./configure --localstatedir=/var --prefix=/usr --host=i486-pc-linux-gnu --with-x --with-pthreads --with-system-jpeg --with-system-zlib --with-system-mng --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2 --enable-xft --enable-postscript --disable-xprint --disable-gnomevfs --disable-gnomeui --enable-crypto --enable-plugins --disable-logging --enable-strip --enable-necko-protocols=all --disable-debug --enable-mathml --enable-cookies --enable-extensions=cookie,transformiix,wallet,xmlextras,pref,spellcheck,universalchardet,permissions,typeaheadfind --disable-calendar --enable-application=suite --disable-ldap --enable-chrome-format=flat --with-distribution-id=com.puppylinux --enable-xinerama --disable-svg --disable-accessibility --disable-tests --enable-system-cairo --disable-jsd --with-system-png --enable-composer --enable-mailnews
Creating the final PET package is a bit of an art... too much to explain here.

sweep 0.9.3
Audio editor and recorder.
# ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --build=i486-pc-linux-gnu

gtkam 0.1.16.1
Digital camera image reader.
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --build=i486-t2-linux-gnu --without-bonobo --without-gnome --without-gimp

xdelta 3.0v
# make

Hi Barry, I love what you've compiled excellent :) I had the error with the latest osmo also, what I did was went to the source line that was giving me the error and deleted it. Then I tried to compile it again, and It compiled without error. So the 2.14.1X version I've been working on has the latest version. I really like the fact you recompiled the backend also. I did have a few problems with the Cairo/pango lib, It did compile for me, but I was a bit iffy on it being stable or not. Does flash work on seamonkey ? If you go to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=199892&package_id=237250&release_id=650599 and try to download GTKhash does it crash? It did on 2.14.1X with flash. looking forward to your release of it and the updated packages. ttuuxxx

Configure mtPaint
Username: BarryK
"Dmitry, the maintainer of mtPaint, was unable to post to this blog sosent me an email instead: [i]I see mtPaint is configured with "./configure gtk2 --cpu=i486 GIF jpeg tiff --prefix=/usr" which is suboptimal. To get the best results (smaller and faster binary, with less dependencies), use the "release" configure option, like this: "./configure release gtk2 GIF jpeg tiff --prefix=/usr" This option enables several handpicked optimizations which are beneficial in practice; the target CPU it uses is "i386" because as my testing shows, the latter ones just add to binary size without providing a noticeable speed increase.[/i]
