Learning Japanese II

, , ,

November 2008 I've presented 2 programs in blog posting "Learning Japanese"

A few days ago I've re-installed my OpenSuse 11.2 from scratch and did some modifications:

Ibus replaces Skim. Some distros like Ubuntu or Fedora have already switched from scim to ibus.

zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/swyear:/ibus/openSUSE_11.2/home:swyear:ibus.repo    
zypper refresh
zypper install ibus-anthy



The dictionnary Tagainijisho offers now one-click-installation for Suse

I prefer to add the repository manually in the console:

zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Gnurou/openSUSE_11.2/home:Gnurou.repo
zypper refresh
zypper search taga*
zypper install tagainijisho-dic-de



ScummVM & Discworld

, , , ...

Yesterday Alexs told me that the game Discworld (based on the well-known novels written by Terry Pratchett ) is freely avaible and can be played in dosbox and might be playable in one of the next releases of scummVM

I couldn't wait bigsmile
...so I compiled my own scummVm version on Suse (11.1beta5) :

Warning: Compiling is sometimes really frustrating and bloody new daily builds are not tested and might not work as expected.

I've downloaded the source unpacked the tar-archive, then as root from shell :
./configure --enable-tinsel

hmm there was missing some sdl-stuff...
zypper install sdl-devel

make

if you don't have checkinstall you should now install it. bigsmile
zypper install checkinstall

and now we have to make an rpm and install it smile
checkinstall --fstrans=no
rpm -i /usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64/scummvm-0.12.svn-1.x86_64.rpm



et voilà :



If you want to download my compiled (source from 20081118) for Suse 64-bit you can find it here

The GUI looks very ugly compared to the rpm I've (via zypper) downloaded from Suse

WARNING: Could not parse custom theme 'scummmodern.zip'. Falling back to default theme!


Have to check that...
Edit :
There seems to be a bug in the svn-version I used.

[00:18] <Begasus> no autodetection for the modern theme it seems
[00:28] <wjp> it only seems to look in the current directory
[00:29] <Begasus> yeah
[00:29] <Begasus> when I copy it there it detects it



easy to work around...
ah yes you can find your theme here : /usr/local/share/scummvm/ penguin
