About
This chapter describes the commands for the compilation and installation of GTK+ applications distributed by default on the SliTaz LiveCD. The installation of GTK+ libraries are described in the GTK+ libs chapter.
Environmental variable ($fs)
If you do not specify any path to the rootfs directory, export the environmental variable:
# export fs=$PWD/rootfs
To check:
# echo $fs
leafpad-0.8.10 - Simple text editor
Website: http://tarot.freeshell.org/leafpad/
# wget http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/leafpad/leafpad-0.8.10.tar.gz # tar xzf leafpad-0.8.10.tar.gz # cd leafpad-0.8.10 # ./configure --prefix=/usr # make # make DESTDIR=$PWD/_pkg install # strip _pkg/usr/bin/*
Install in rootfs
# cp _pkg/usr/bin/* $fs/usr/bin # cp _pkg/usr/share/pixmaps/leafpad.png $fs/usr/share/pixmaps # cp -a _pkg/usr/share/locale/fr $fs/usr/share/locale

Ghost in the mail allows users to quickly and easily send mail via SMTP.

# cp _pkg/usr/bin/* $fs/usr/bin
gqview-2.0.4 - Images Manager
Website: http://gqview.sourceforge.net/
# wget http://belnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gqview/gqview-2.0.4.tar.gz # tar xzf gqview-2.0.4.tar.gz # cd gqview-2.0.4 # ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man # make # make DESTDIR=$PWD/_pkg install # strip _pkg/usr/bin/*

mtpaint-3.11 - Image creation and processing
Website: http://mtpaint.sourceforge.net/
# wget http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mtpaint/mtpaint-3.11.tar.bz2 # tar xjf mtpaint-3.11.tar.bz2 # cd mtpaint-3.11 # ./configure --cpu=i486 --prefix=/usr intl # make # strip src/mtpaint
Install in rootfs
# cp src/mtpaint $fs/usr/bin # cp po/fr.mo $fs/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/mtpaint.mo # cp src/icons1/icon.xpm $fs/usr/share/pixmaps/mtpaint.xpm
Transmission-0.72 - Lightweight BitTorrent client
Tranmission BitTorrent client is fast, lightweight and easy to use. The compiled package provides the command line client (transmissioncli) and a GTK+ client (transmission-gtk). We install the GTK+ client, the command line client is distributed as a separate SliTaz package (*.tazpkg).
Website: http://transmission.m0k.org/
# wget http://download.m0k.org/transmission/files/Transmission-0.72.tar.gz # tar xzf Transmission-0.72.tar.gz La version 0.72 est mal archivée: # mv "Transmission .72" Transmission-0.72 # cd Transmission-0.72 # ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-openssl # make # strip gtk/transmission-gtk # strip cli/transmissioncli
Install in rootfs
# cp gtk/transmission-gtk $fs/usr/bin # cp gtk/transmission.png $fs/usr/share/pixmaps # cp gtk/po/fr.mo $fs/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/transmission-gtk.mo
emelfm2-0.3.5 - File Manager
The emelFM2 application is a file manager providing lots of useful functions, such as the mounting of devices, a text viewer, opening a terminal in the current directory and so on.
Website: http://emelfm2.net/
# cd .. # wget http://emelfm2.net/rel/emelfm2-0.3.5.tar.gz # tar xzf emelfm2-0.3.5.tar.gz # cd emelfm2-0.3.5 # make PREFIX=/usr # make i18n PREFIX=/usr # make install PREFIX=$PWD/_pkg/usr # make install_i18n PREFIX=$PWD/_pkg/usr # strip -v _pkg/usr/bin/* # strip -v _pkg/usr/lib/emelfm2/plugins/*
Install in rootfs
# cp _pkg/usr/bin/* $fs/usr/bin # cp -a _pkg/usr/lib/* $fs/usr/lib # cp -a _pkg/usr/share/pixmaps $fs/usr/share # cp -a _pkg/usr/share/locale/fr $fs/usr/share/locale
geany-0.11 - Integrated Development Environment
Geany is a simple, fast and light IDE offering colored syntax, tabs, autocompletion, aids to scripts and much more.
Website: http://geany.uvena.de/
To compile and run geany on SliTaz, you must have the libstdc++ and libgcc1 libraries, both provided by gcc (we recompiled with gcc-4.1.1), but you can copy the libraries from the host system.
Note: The force is with you, if you activate it via the option --enable-the-force.
# wget http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/geany/geany-0.11.tar.gz # tar xzf geany-0.11.tar.gz # cd geany-0.11 # ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man \ --disable-vte --enable-the-force # make # make DESTDIR=$PWD/_pkg install # strip -v _pkg/usr/bin/*
Install in rootfs
# cp _pkg/usr/bin/* $fs/usr/bin # cp -a _pkg/usr/share/geany $fs/usr/share # cp _pkg/usr/share/pixmaps/geany.png $fs/usr/share/pixmaps # cp -a _pkg/usr/share/locale/fr $fs/usr/share/locale
gftp-2.0.18 - Fast and simple FTP client
The gFTP application is a fast and efficient FTP client with a GTK+ graphical interface. Note that we compile without support for a text interface and SSL support. Get, untar, configure, compile and install.
Website: http://www.gftp.org/
# wget http://www.gftp.org/gftp-2.0.18.tar.gz # tar xzf gftp-2.0.18.tar.gz # cd gftp-2.0.18 # ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man \ --disable-ssl --disable-textport \ --build=i486-pc-linux-gnu --host=i486-pc-linux-gnu # make # make DESTDIR=$PWD/_pkg install # strip _pkg/usr/bin/*
Install in rootfs
SliTaz provides only the GTK+ client on the CD. Note that gftp is just a small
script that detects the environment (console or X) and launches the right interface:
# cp _pkg/usr/bin/gftp $fs/usr/bin # cp _pkg/usr/bin/gftp-gtk $fs/usr/bin # cp -a _pkg/usr/share/gftp $fs/usr/share # cp -a _pkg/usr/share/pixmaps $fs/usr/share # cp -a _pkg/usr/share/locale/fr $fs/usr/share/locale
To save a little space and avoid duplication, you can delete ‘COPYING’ (17 KB) included in /usr/share/gftp. The GNU licence is already present in /usr/share/licence, if you want to create a symbolic link.
xpad-2.12 - Mini note taking application
The Xpad application can quickly take notes via various customizable (GTK+) windows.
Website: http://xpad.sourceforge.net/
# wget http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/xpad/xpad-2.12.tar.bz2 # tar xjf xpad-2.12.tar.bz2 # cd xpad-2.12 # ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man \ --build=i486-pc-linux-gnu --host=i486-pc-linux-gnu # make # make DESTDIR=$PWD/_pkg install # strip _pkg/usr/bin/*
Install in rootfs
# cp _pkg/usr/bin/xpad $fs/usr/bin # cp -a _pkg/usr/share/pixmaps $fs/usr/share # cp -a _pkg/usr/share/locale/fr $fs/usr/share/locale
