[opensuse] Help evaluate and bug check GtkWrite text editor
All, I wrote a small text editor that I've put on build service to see if I could get a bit of community feedback on. (it basically grew out of running fluxbox or i3 and not wanting to use an ide (geany) and leafpad wasn't quite enough. RPMS are available for 13.1 - Leap 42.2 (Tumbleweed build currently fails for some really weird harfbuzz gradient linker error which I'll get to as time permits). It is intentionally written in C using Gtk+2 and GtkSourceView2. Load it, use it in place of your current editor for a bit and let me know what you find, like hate excetera. My buildservice repo is drankinatty, and the link to the rpms, are, e.g.: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/drankinatty/ with direct links: Leap 42.2 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/drankinatty/openSUSE_Leap_42... 13.2 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/drankinatty/openSUSE_13.2/i5... http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/drankinatty/openSUSE_13.2/x8... 13.1 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/drankinatty/openSUSE_13.1/i5... http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/drankinatty/openSUSE_13.1/x8... The layout and functionality is fairly self-explanatory. If you need any extra help, ask or take a look at the Readme.md in the normal doc/packages directory. Thanks. -- David C.

The actual error on link for the Tumbleweed build is: [ 96s] /usr/lib/libharfbuzz.so.0: undefined reference to `FT_Get_Var_Blend_Coordinates' [ 96s] collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Can anyone running Tumbleweed tell me if it is using the infinality bundle instead of freetype2? That appears to the crux of the linker issue involving FT_Get_Var_Blend_Coordinates. (See, e.g.: https://github.com/jaagr/polybar/issues/310) -- David C.

And apparently "the infinality-bundle’s creator Bohoomil has been MIA for quite some time." (https://fsociety.info/2017/Goodbye-Bohoomils-Infinality-Patch-Set/). So I'm not going to worry about chasing a moving target for a package whose maintainer is MIA. So Tumbleweed will just have to go back to a patched freetype2 package -- at which time the gtkwrite editor will build for Tumbleweed just fine.

I got the source and compiled it to try it out. It works. I found that Undo doesn't work. That's as far as I've got. At least you know somebody noticed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
