How can I find out who was the unknown enthusiast who tried to cook latex? I see the packages is broken, but the effort was there and this a reason to recognize it! ;-)

I want to thank you for the trial to create a texlive package for Slitaz. As a non-technician I cannot understand why it failed - but hopefully, not in this second, you find time to tell why it failed and whether something can be done to get a working package out of it. There are 3 packages in cooking now that are ready, can be fired up, but lack the ,,motor".
TeXmacs-1.0.7.8.tazpkg and texinfo-4.13a.tazpkg and gummi-0.6.1.tazpkg
(No, sorry, I cannot compile, does not fit to my brain and is normally just a waste of time and ressources- ,,non-technician" is true)
All I can do is thorough testing and give feedback.Posted 12 years ago # -

The failure is:
mv: can't rename 'ft-install/lib/libttf.a': No such file or directoryLikely because the library was installed in a wrong directory:
/usr/bin/install -c .libs/libttf.a /usr/lib/libttf.aThe receipt http://cook.slitaz.org/undigest/cooker.cgi?receipt=latex must be updated.
Maybe with a ./configure argument, a BUILD_DEPENDS complement, or a patchfile ?The undigest wok holds unfinished packages. Everybody can improve them. Fill free to improve it.

But unfortunately I did not lie. I a biology and geography teacher and I move into technical details to that amount that I can get the desired functionality. IT-technique is kind of alien for me.
,,(No, sorry, I cannot compile, does not fit to my brain and is normally just a waste of time and ressources- ,,non-technician" is true)

http://cook.slitaz.org/undigest/cooker.cgi?receipt=latex
is beyond my scope. How do you estimate the amount of work to get a running package that one can use under Slitaz? In another thread I gave the argument that such a thing cannot be a regular part of Slitaz, just for the demand of space. But when a pupils likes Slitaz he normally wants to install it on his harddrive. Then there is not such a RAM problem and not that space problem. I use a machine with 1 GB RAM and after installing the developer tools I cannot use tazlito writefs. No space left.It is not urgent but I would like to hear your opinion.
The next left open question is this kompozer: it works with Slitaz 2.0 and 3.0 but not with cooking and not with 4.0 devel (what I use with great pleasure). It is a *.tar.gz-software that runs from a script. But not with cooking. All I can state is that it does not work. - It is an easy nice-looking piece of an html-editor - and it is platform-independent, which is very important in a school environment. This is absoletly dominated by Microsoft to a ridiculous amount, but Apple is gaining ground quick and starts to increase our problems in having a platform-independent communication with our boxes.Posted 12 years ago #
