Ekee is a clone of Mac OS X's "LaTeX Equation Editor" and "LaTeXiT". Ekee produces images interactively from LaTeX expressions. Drag and drop in several common formats (PNG, SVG, PDF, EPS) to other applications is supported. Ekee can reopen the equations it has created in PNG format. It is free software, released under the GPL. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 176686 [details] /home/thomas/progg/gentoo-overlay/app-office/ekee/ekee-2.0.2.ebuild Ebuild for ekee 2.0.2
Would be nice to have this ebuild added to the main tree, too.
The ebuild looks fine. However dev-ruby/qt4-qtruby fails on my boxes, so I've added to the overlay, not to the main tree. cc-ing the tex herd, since ekee is just the new version for eqe.
Not in the sci overlay anymore (why?). Upstream is dead, ekee-2.0.2 is the last version and designated "broken and unmaintained".
*** Bug 306763 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
ekee seems to work nicely with the ebuild here when replacing "dev-ruby/qt4-qtruby" with "kde-base/kdebindings-ruby" from the kde-overlay. I have not tested exhaustively, but displaying and exporting to most formats except svg worked fine. This is on ~amd64.
From the website with the last release 2008 it reads: ==================== Ekee: LaTeX equation editor -- BROKEN AND UNMAINTAINED Ekee has been unmaintained and broken on many platforms (including Ubuntu Karmic and Lucid) for some time. It may work for you if you are lucky. I would welcome someone forking it, or rewriting a replacement. At the moment, I do not have the time to integrate patches and make new releases. Thanks to all who have reported bugs and proposed their help or code. ==================== we do not want to merge this to the official tree at the moment. Please use an overlay, if needed.
