To Build Hanterm-xf 2.0.6 on Debian Linux

Hanterm-xf is a fast and functional X-terminal emulator. Although development of Hanterm-xf ceased long ago, I find hanterm-xf very useful because it has built-in Korean input system and displays Latin, Korean and Unicode well. Trying to find the hanterm-xf source was not so easy, but I found it here with Yahoo! search. I downloaded hanterm-xf-2.0.6-177.tar.gz Compiling Hanterm-xf requires the following development packages to be installed:

• gcc
  
• g77
  
• make
  
• libncursesw5-dev
  
• libxft-dev
  
• libxaw7-dev

Before compiling hanterm-xf, I had to make some symbolic links in /usr/include.

ln -s ncursesw /usr/include/ncurses
ln -s freetype2/freetype /usr/include

I unpacked the hanterm-xf source and entered the source directory:

tar xzvf hanterm-xf-2.0.6-177.tar.gz
cd hanterm-xf-2.0.6-177

I ran ./configure for hanterm-xf as follows:

./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i586-pc-linux-gnu --enable-doublechars --enable-freetype --enable-i18n --disable-input-method --disable-maximize --enable-pty-handshake --disable-tek4014 --enable-toolbar --disable-vt52 --enable-wide-chars --enable-chat --enable-now-chat

I had to modify the LIBS line of Makefile in order to successfully link hanterm with libncursesw5 later. Basically, I appended -lncursesw at the end of the LIBS line.

LIBS = -lXft -lfreetype -lXrender -lXrender -lXaw -lXmu -lXext -lXt -lSM -lICE -lX11 -lnsl -lncursesw

Then, I compiled hanterm-xf as follows:

make
make install

Packaging Hanterm-xf 2.0.6

I made a package of hanterm-xf with the following contents:

/usr/bin/hanterm
/usr/share/hangul_keyboard/2bul.kbd
/usr/share/hangul_keyboard/3bul_390.kbd
/usr/share/hangul_keyboard/3bul_final.kbd

/usr/share/man/man1/hanterm.1.gz
/etc/X11/app-defaults/Hanterm
/etc/X11/app-defaults/Hanterm-color

You can download my hanterm-xf packages here.

Linux: To Build IceWM 1.2.37

IceWM is my favorite window manager. Though most distros provide icewm packages, I like to build IceWM on my own. The following packages are needed to build IceWM.

• g++
  
• make
  
• libjpeg62-dev
  
• libpng12-dev
  
• libtiff4-dev
  
• libungif4-dev
  
• libxft-dev
  
• libice-dev
  

IceWM 1.2.37 depends on Imlib11 which is an obsolete library. I couldn't find imlib11 in Debian Sid any longer. In order to build IceWM that will work on many systems ranging from Debian Sarge to Debian Sid, I wanted to compile Imlib11 statically and integrate imlib11 into the IceWM binaries. So I downloaded Imlib11 source (imlib-1.9.15.tar.gz) from ftp.gnome.org and compiled static imlib11.

tar xzvf imlib-1.9.15.tar.gz

cd imlib-1.9.15

./configure --build=i586-pc-linux-gnu --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-static --disable-shared --disable-modules

make

make install

Then, I downloaded the source of IceWM 1.2.37 (icewm-1.2.37.tar.gz) from icewm.sf.net. I unpacked the tarball into my home directory and compile IceWM.

tar xzvf icewm-1.2.37.tar.gz

cd icewm-1.2.37

./configure --build=i586-pc-linux-gnu --enable-gradients --disable-sm --disable-shaped-decorations --disable-xrandr --disable-xinerama --disable-x86-asm

make

cp src/icewm src/icewmtray /usr/local/bin

strip /usr/local/bin/ice*

I am setting up IceWM in a minimal package. The following set of files are to be copied to a new system.

/etc/im_palette-small.pal
/etc/im_palette-tiny.pal
/etc/im_palette.pal
/etc/imrc
/usr/local/bin/icewm
/usr/local/bin/icewmtray

To customize IceWM, settings and themes should be saved in /etc/icewm and /usr/local/share/icewm.

Linux: To Compile wpa_supplicant on Debian 3.1 Sarge

I was using good old Debian Linux 3.1 Sarge when I found out Sarge's wpasupplicant couldn't work well with ndiswrapper-supported Windows network drivers. So I set out to compile wpa_supplicant on my own. First, I installed the following development packages.

• gcc-3.4
  
• libssl0.9.7
  
• make
  

Then, I downloaded the wpa_supplicant source (wpa_supplicant-0.6.9.tar.gz) from http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant. I unpacked the source and read the README files.

tar xzvf wpa_supplicant-0.6.9.tar.gz
cd wpa_supplicant-0.6.9/wpa_supplicant

I went into the wpa_supplicant subfolder and created .config to customize my build. The following is the contents of my .config:

CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXTENSION=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_HOSTAP=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_ATMEL=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_WEXT=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_RALINK=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_NDISWRAPPER=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW=y
CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y
CONFIG_EAP_MD5=y
CONFIG_EAP_MSCHAPV2=y
CONFIG_EAP_TLS=y
CONFIG_EAP_PEAP=y
CONFIG_EAP_TTLS=y
CONFIG_EAP_GTC=y
CONFIG_EAP_OTP=y
CONFIG_EAP_SIM=y
CONFIG_EAP_AKA=y
CONFIG_EAP_PSK=y
CONFIG_EAP_SAKE=y
CONFIG_EAP_GPSK=y
CONFIG_EAP_PAX=y
CONFIG_EAP_LEAP=y
CONFIG_EAP_IKEV2=y
CONFIG_EAP=y
CONFIG_WPS=y

Then, I began compilation by running make.

make

The compilation was successful. I installed wpa_supplicant with the following command.

make install

The following files are copied to the system.

/usr/local/sbin/wpa_supplicant
/usr/local/sbin/wpa_passphrase
/usr/local/sbin/wpa_cli

Linux: To build WDM

WDM is a display login manager for Linux. I am building WDM as replacement for xdm and slim. Before compilation, I installed the following packages in addition to the compiler toolchain:

• libwraster3-dev
  
• libwings-dev
  
• libpam0g-dev
  
• libxinerama-dev
  
• gettext
  

I configured wdm like this:

./configure --x-includes=/usr/local/include --x-libraries=/usr/local/lib --sysconfdir=/etc/X11 --localstatedir=/var --with-nlsdir=/usr/share/locale --with-wdmdir=/etc/X11/wdm --with-gfxdir=/usr/share/pixmaps/wdm --enable-aafont --with-wmlist=icewm:openbox:pekwm:gnome-session

Then I built WDM:

make
make install

The following files are installed.

/etc/X11/wdm/Xclients
/etc/X11/wdm/Xservers
/etc/X11/wdm/Xservers.ws
/etc/X11/wdm/Xsession
/etc/X11/wdm/Xsetup_0
/etc/X11/wdm/wdm-config
/etc/X11/wdm/wdmReconfig
/usr/local/bin/wdm
/usr/local/bin/wdmLogin
/usr/local/man/man1/wdm.1
/usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/wdm.mo
/usr/share/locale/cs/LC_MESSAGES/wdm.mo
/usr/share/locale/cy/LC_MESSAGES/wdm.mo
/usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/wdm.mo
/usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/wdm.mo
/usr/share/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/wdm.mo
/usr/share/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/wdm.mo
/usr/share/locale/fr_FR/LC_MESSAGES/wdm.mo
/var/run/wdm

I created a script as /etc/init.d/wdm:

#!/bin/sh

set -e

test -x /usr/local/bin/wdm || exit 0

case "$1" in
  start)
    echo "Starting wdm..."
    start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/wdm.pid --name wdm --startas /usr/local/bin/wdm
  ;;

  restart)
    /etc/init.d/wdm stop
    /etc/init.d/wdm start
  ;;

  stop)
    echo "Stopping wdm..."
    if ! [ -f /var/run/wdm.pid ]; then
      echo "/var/run/wdm.pid not found"
    else
      start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/wdm.pid --name wdm --retry TERM/5/TERM/5
    fi
  ;;
esac

exit 0

Upon reboot, wdm started but wouldn't respond to the Return key after I typed my login name. I wasn't able to fix this problem yet.

Download X.org Server 1.6.5 for Linux

Here you can download my build of X.org 1.6.5 for Linux. I didn't bother to pack it in a RPM or DEB package. However, the installation is simple. Just use tar and bzip2 to extract it at /.

cd /
bzip2 -dc xorg165.tar.bz2 | tar xf -

Everything will be extracted into /usr/local. This package contains X.org core server plus Intel, kbd and mouse driver along with pixman, libdrm2, Mesa OpenGL libraries. After installation, remember to run ldconfig as root.
