Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2009-03-19 16:07:23 UTC
Version 11.0 appeared some time ago. It depends on OpenMotif 2.3, so I guess the kludgy workaround for 2.2 can be removed.
Comment 1 Erik Quaeghebeur 2009-03-21 15:04:21 UTC
It would indeed be nice if there was an ebuild for this. I've never gotten the 10.6 version to work (on amd64). So for me this would be more than just a version bump.
Comment 2 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-03-29 20:31:38 UTC
Ok, I am working on an ebuild, but it is not that simple as testing is not really possible on my only machine with an internet connection. :)
The next problem is that there is no fixed download location anymore for the file, so RESTRICT=fetch is likely to occur on the ebuild as well, though I don't like that.
Give me some time until I figure out what workarounds are still needed and which not.
Comment 3 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-03-30 17:21:15 UTC
Version bump (see bug 263054 by ulm), ebuild changes include:

* Support for German and Japanese through the LINGUAS
system (though not perfect)

* fetch restrictions as upstream does not provide a direct
download link

* introduce motif USE flag: OpenMotif is just needed for the
connection client not for the Netscape plugin

* introduce nsplugin USE flag for people to only install the
Netscape plugin

* error out if none of the above is set

* Simplify path handling by extending S definition

* remove workaround for OpenMotif 2.3 (not needed anymore)

------------------

I hope the separation of the normal client and the browser plugin works as intended....unfortunately my test server is down, so I cannot really test it. :)
Comment 4 Erik Quaeghebeur 2009-04-01 20:31:59 UTC
This version has the same problem as the 10.6 one for me (on amd64).
The install goes well (with motif or without).

However, the nsplugin, though visible in Firefox's plugin list does not seem to work (nspluginwrapper works perfectly for Flash).

The wfica and wfcmgr programs don't work either:

$ wfica
Error: 12 (E_MISSING_INI_ENTRY)
Please refer to the documentation.
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset
Error: Aborting: no fontset found

$ wfcmgr
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Cannot convert string "-gnu-*-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1,-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-ksc5601.1987-0,-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-120-75-75-*-*-iso8859-1,-*-ming-*-*-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-big5-0,-isas-fangsong ti-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-160-gb2312.1980-0,-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--0-*-75-75-p-*-koi8-r,-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-120-75-75-*-*-iso8859-6,-*-arial-medium-r-*-*-*-120-75-75-*-*-iso8859-6,-*-kacstbook-medium-r-*-*-*-120-75-75-*-*-iso8859-6,-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-120-75-75-*-*-*-*,-*-*-medium-r-*-*-*-120-75-75-*-*-*-*,-*-*-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*" to type FontSet

[then the Citrix Receiver splashscreen appears while a lot of repetitions of the message below appear]

Warning: No font found.
Warning:
    Name: FONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG_STRING
    Class: XmRendition
    Conversion failed.  Cannot load font.

[The Citrix Reciever window is there, but without any text, which seems to preclude clicking on buttons (except for one, which leads to another window with textless buttons)]

What should I do to further diagnose this problem?
(I'm only really interested in getting the nsplugin working; I ran the other programs for testing.)

 Better open a separate bug report for it.  Hrm, I don't know how one can access the plugin from the outside to see what's wrong...in the end it is a .so file.

 This sounds like a missing dependency.

 No matter, we will have to fix it. :)  Which fonts for X do you have installed? Call eix -I fonts for example.

FYI: Without the motif use flag, the plugin doesn't work for me (amd64); so the separation is not perfect. I don't think this is worth any further effort, however.
Comment 8 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-04-13 15:32:48 UTC
Killed off motif and nsplugin USE flags.
