xpaint

X bitmap/pixmap editor.

Compilation (V2.6.7)

Needs the xpm library.
Code and build procedures have a few bugs.

HP-UX 10.20

V2.6.7 is the last xpaint to compile on 10.20 (lack of dl* functions)
In misc.h change

#if defined(BSD4_4) || defined(HPArchitecture) || defined(SGIArchitecture) || defined(_AIX) || defined(_SCO_DS)

#if defined(BSD4_4) || defined(__hpux) || defined(SGIArchitecture) || defined(_AIX) || defined(_SCO_DS)

Adapt/fix the Imakefile:

# HPArchitecture
EXTRA_LIBRARIES = -ldld
HP_FLAGS = -Wl,-a,archive_shared
#endif

LOCAL_LIBRARIES = $(HP_FLAGS) -Lrw -lrw $(XPM_LIB) $(TIFF_LIB) $(SGI_LIB) $(JPEG_LIB) $(PNG_LIB)

$(CC) $(CFLAGS) substads.c -o substads

$(CC) $(CFLAGS) preproc.c -o preproc

Adapt Local.config. Example specifying the location of support libraries and temporary destination:

SHAREDIR = /tmp/xpaint-2.6.7/share/xpaint
XAPPLOADDIR = /tmp/xpaint-2.6.7/lib/X11/app-defaults

TIFF_INCLUDE = -I/nfs/local/1020/include
JPEG_INCLUDE = -I/nfs/local/1020/include
PNG_INCLUDE = -I/nfs/local/1020/include

XPM_LIB     = -L/nfs/local/1020/lib -lXpm
XPM_INCLUDE = -I/nfs/local/1020/include/X11

BINDIR = /tmp/xpaint-2.6.7/bin
MANDIR = /tmp/xpaint-2.6.7/man/mann

Then run

xmkmf

make Makefiles   # this doesn't work for the subdirectories, use instead:
cd bitmaps; ln -s big_tools tools; xmkmf; cd ..
cd Docs;    xmkmf; cd ..
cd rw;      xmkmf; cd ..
 
make xaw
make install    
make install.man

Compilation (V2.7.8.1)

Needs the xpm library and the dlxxx functions (dlfcn.h header)
xpaint comes with a strange (and buggy) xmkmf procedure. Fixes are numereous, here are a couple of diff's:

$ diff xpaint-2.7.8.1/Imakefile xpaint-2.7.8.1-original/Imakefile

make xaw3d 
make install
make install.man

V2.9.8.2

Needs Xpm, libz libpng libtiff libjpeg. freetype2? Optionally OpenJPEG, JASPER. Comes with a "fake" configure, which seems to be just a wrapper script around imake tools. Too many dependencies and bugs. Quit for now, use 2.7.8.1 instead.

V2.9.9.4

Needs libXft, libXaw3dxft.

          # AIX 6.1, C 9.0
configure --prefix=/tmp/xpaint-2.9.9.4 CC=cc CPPFLAGS="-D_LARGE_FILES -I/bio/local/../61/include" CFLAGS="-O2 -D_LARGE_FILES -I/bio/local/../61/include" LDFLAGS="-L/bio/local/../61/lib"

Installation/Configuration

In some central startup script (e.g. .profile) for all X apps add e.g.

export XFILESEARCHPATH=/nfs/local/1100/lib/X11/app-defaults/%N

and place a softlink to xpaint-2.7.8.1/lib/X11/app-defaults/XPaint into /nfs/local/1100/lib/X11/app-defaults/
