The program might, but the configure utility does seem to have some problems. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

And it is a non-standard configure utility. The upstream page has disappeared, it is reported to be "http://wolfpack.twu.net/ManEdit/". It could be "http://freshmeat.net/projects/manedit/", but I don't see how to report bugs. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Looks like it, but I fail to see why a man page editor needs arch specific options. All in all it looks like a broken configuration tool. I'll have a look tonight if time permits.

Someone on OBS already packages it, look in home:mrtech. But I'll check it tomorrow as I'm getting too tired. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Huh? cer@Elessar:~/Documents/babel/man> webpin manedit No results found for "manedit" in openSUSE_112 And I can't find that "home:mrtech" repo, it should be in http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/. Am I looking at the wrong place? Webedit does find a version in BS::home:/mrdocs for 11.0 (both i586 and x64 versions). However, for 11.2 there is none. And for factory there are both versions. I'm out of luck! :-( I'll investigate the source rpm... which is for manedit-1.1.1, when the current version is manedit-1.2.1. [...] Aha! It contains a manedit-0.6.1.lib64.patch. I'll try to edit the file manually, the patch does not apply. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Right, it finds it, in "home:jnweiger:doc/openSUSE_11.2". Then, there is a problem with webpin, it fails finding packages that do exist. I can compile manedit witht that patch, for x64, I tried, but it prints a lot of warnings that worry me: cfg_win_op.c:170: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size const gint radio_value = (gint)cfg_link->data; cfg_win_op.c:339: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size if(valuei == (gint)gtk_clist_get_row_data(clist, i)) cfg_win_op.c:399: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size valuei = (gint)glist->data; cfg_win_op.c:410: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size (gpointer)valuei If I'm not mistaken, that indicates that the code is not really prepared for 64 bit compilation. It runs, yes... but it worries me. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Mostly harmless AFAICT. As far as I've checked the code these are all places where direct casts are used to convert from pointer to integer and this of cause fails on x86_64 where pointers and long integers have the same size. Once again the case of a programer ignoring the macros glib provides like GPOINTER_TO_INT and GINT_TO_POINTER. I'm in the process of creating a patch that fies these and other graver bugs in the code. Be warned though that manedit will not compile for factory/11.3 and onwards because it's a gtk1 application that's never been ported to gtk2 and 11.3 has dropped gtk-devel.

Thanks for checking; I thought it was something of the sort, but my C is too rusty.

Yes, I was afraid that would happen, too. Well... I suppose I will in the end install a vmware guest with... dunno, 11.2 (32 bits) perhaps, so that I can run some vintage apps I need. Manedit is one, but I have some even older programs I want to keep using (open source abandonware). I hope that at least they will run as remote apps in X.
