XFE-1.4.2
XFE-1.4.2
I've compiled XFE 1.4.2 file manager which has improved features, bug fixes and a built in file/text search. I also slimmed it down to reduce the installed size and tested it in:
Lucid 5.2.8
Wary 5.3.3
Precise 5.7.1
Slacko 5.3
Slacko 6.3.0
Tahr 6.0.5
I'd like to share it if someone can guide me to a place to upload the 1.9mb pet file.
It requires the fox toolkit to run. The README file in the source code said it required fox 1.6.36 or newer, but less than 1.7.0, I compiled in Puppy 5.2.8 with fox-1.6.37-i486.pet installed. I had been using XFE 1.19.2 with fox-1.6.31.pet installed. The first thing I noticed was that XFE's installed size grew from 6mb to 35mb. This was mostly due to the increased size of fox-1.6.37 which takes 28mb. I tried running it with fox-1.6.31 and it seems to work fine, that reduced the install to 11mb.
Other Changes:
-XFE 1.4.2 included three helper applications, a text editor, a image viewer, and a package manager. Since these were redundant, they were removed.
-Moved xfe.desktop file into usr/share/applications to conform to Puppy's convention.
-Changed XFE program preferences (file associations) to Puppy's default applications.
This brought the install size down to 8mb.

To use:
-install xfe-1.42mod-i686.pet
-install fox-1.6.31.pet or fox-1.6.37-i486.pet if you don't mind the size increase.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Doesn't work for me in X-Tahr 2.0, needs libFOX-1.6.so.0, there is a broken symlink libjpeg.so.62, also was compiled for /usr/local.

XFE uses libjpeg.so.62. All the Puppies I tested with had it except Slacko 6.3 which only had the newer libjpeg.so.8.0.1. I did a crude hack and made a libjpeg.so.62 symlink to libjpeg.so.8.0.1 and put it in usr/local/lib, this let it work in Slacko 6.3 and didn't break the others. Try looking for libjpeg.x.x files in usr/lib. You may find several symlinks already there, but choose the one that isn't a symlink and then make a new symlink to it named libjpeg.so.62. You can delete the broken usr/local/lib/libjpeg.so.62 symlink.
The compile used the source default configure which was for /usr/local. My apologies if this breaks a convention, I can probably figure out how to put it somewhere else, let me know. New at this.

I never compile to use local, that's pretty much the norm.
To compile it to not use local
Code: Select all
./configure --prefix=/usr
that way you will have no need to put one in /usr/local/lib.
Code: Select all
# Add symlink for Slacko
# will not overwrite libjpeg.so.62 if it already exists
ln -s /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.8.0.1 /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62
Code: Select all
root# ln -s /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.8.0.1 /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62
ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘/usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62’: File exists
root#
