The Testing Area :: February Extensions

Hmm, okay. I guess you can delete the one I submitted.

- oops, sorry. I'd been using gimp-1.2.dsl, I didn't realise there was also already a gimp-1.2.uci...

Yours is smaller anyway.

I adjusted the xine.uci package and it should now function on the command line like it should.  (The wrapper was needed, after all.)  Also removed some uneeded files.  I will test it more, and below is what I plan to be the final adjustment of this extension.  I would appreciate anyone trying it out and giving feedback if there is anything else lacking:

I do not want to pester Robert (or you guys either) but one last time with this one. So if in a week  or so there are no more issues found I will resubmit.  

Humpty - let me know if you are now able to access the wmv9 streaming stuff.   Thanks.

Update 3.1.08:  Xine 0.99.5 will often crash with a "X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)" error when going in and out of fullscreen mode by double clicking the Xine window, especially when video is playing.  This happens with or without XFree or Xorg extensions loaded.  Xine-lib 1.1.10 as well as Xine-lib 1.1.10.1 display this behavior.  Building against XFree 4.1, Xfree 4.3 and Xorg 7.2 made no difference.  A cvs version of Xine-ui will probably fix the situation, and I will update the links.

Update 3.2.08:  Xine-ui from cvs has the same problem.  This is a pretty well reported bug at least in Gentoo and Ubuntu, and I cannot seem to get rid of it here.  I tried the xitk.c fix from Gentoo and it did not help.  One solution mentioned was to build against an updated libX11, and I do not have the time to build the latest Xorg suite to try that.  This may be something that just has to be lived with.

3.6.08:    The glitch is still present when the current Xine is built against the latest Xorg 7.3 and GCC 4.2 on another distro.  I am against a wall on this one.  But I think it is a minor nuisance rather than a showstopper, so the above link is what I have submitted.

Jason : It works!
Hi all:
Currently in the middle of writing a Howto for building a DSL environment using the LFS method, i.e. "from scratch".
When it's done, I will do a rebuild to check for problems.
ETA: In 1-2 weeks.
When it's finished, I will probably email it to extensions_AT_damnsmalllinux.org for approval.
I am thinking of having a new page on the Wiki because this Howto seems to be getting too long to fit in a forum thread.

Robert:
Is that okay with you?

Thanks very much!
