Included here are the actual ebuild and a patch so that it will compile in Gentoo. TextLib is a windowing management system for console. It's a library which you can use for designing easy-to-use text UI for your console applications. It is copyrighted under the GPL by Liviu Andreicut, TFM Group Linux Division. You can check the project's homepage at: http://linux.tfm.ro/projects/textlib/TextLib.html. I suggest fitting it under dev-util/TextLib. Note that this library depends on gpm. Thanks, Ovidiu
Created attachment 23952 [details] TextLib-2.3.5.ebuild (New Package)
Created attachment 23953 [details, diff] TextLib-2.3.5-gentoo.diff (Patch) This patch must be applied to the TextLib-2.3.5.ebuild for it to compile cleanly on Gentoo.
Have you sent this patch upstream? it seems pretty dumb to be forcing arch-specific CFLAGS in a Makefile.
Is there still interest in this?
Was a bit tricky to find where the source actually was located for this project now. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be available in tgz form =( http://linux.tfmgroup.ro/dev/browser/projects/TextLib
Hrmm well, I have submitted registration for it to source forge based on the svn snapshot. Hopefully they'll accept and I'll host the tarball there. I sent off an email to tfm about the patch and included a link to the diff. Hopefully they'll apply it but never know, it's been sometime since the last change. Also version bump to 2.3.6 as that is the latest version as of 2005 (according to the change log from svn). I'll submit an updated ebuild once the sf project page is up and I can confirm the link location. It will take SF a few days to figure out if its in or not so this will probably have to wait till next week.
Well sourceforge I guess requires quite a detailed submission form so I switched it to google code. Here's the link where it is hosted now: http://tfmtextlib.googlecode.com/files/tfmtextlib-2.3.6.tar.gz Updated ebuild and patches to follow
Hrm, is anyone still interested in seeing this package in the tree? If not, I would like to close this bug.
Im ok with closing it. Only reason I looked into it is because it was a long standing bug.
Either find a maintainer, or if you want to maintain it yourself, feel free to reopen and join project sunrise, details here: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/sunrise Thanks. WONTFIX meanwhile.
