KC KDE #39 is Out

Friday, 21 June 2002  |  Numanee

The latest issue of Kernel Cousin KDE is out. This week read about the KDE 3.1 release schedule and feature plan, KOffice news, Kicker Xinerama tweaks, KDE/GNOME interoperability, KDE on HP/UX, and kde-edu discussions. Kudos to the KC KDE Team!

KDE on HPUX update - Ravi - 2002-06-21

Actually, I have all of kdelibs and kdebase compiled on HPUX too. The problem mentioned in KC39 was solved once I realized that HPUX11 uses comdat linkage which requires explicit template instantiation. (Thanks to John Anglin for pointing this out.) C++ has always had a hard time on HPUX because of a lot of screwups, not the least of which is the unruly beast of an aCC compiler they ship. However, I have decided to stop work on the 32-bit port as I do not fully understand HP's (traditional) executable format. The 64-bit executable format is the one we all know best: elf. So, I plan to concentrate on the 64-bit port which does not require many of the workarounds from the 32-bit port because hppa64 supports weak symbols. Of course, this means no ports for HPUX 10.20. The major problem with the 64-bit port is that the toolchain (binutils, gcc and friends) themselves have rather rocky CVS mailine trees at the moment. I hope to have a fully functional 64-bit KDE 3.x available within a couple of weeks of stabilization of the gcc hppa64 mainline. I am looking for volunteers to try and compile my ported sources. If you are interested, please drop me a line; you can find my email address from the link in KC39. Ravi

Are you still working on KDE for HPUX? I'd like to lend assistance if possible.

Re: KDE on HPUX update - bogdan marian - 2007-01-19

I’m interested in trying to install on hpux11 the K Desktop Environment! (19 January 2007). If you are still working on this project I’d like to get involved.

Krita/Krayon? - Rk - 2002-06-23

Can anyone tell me what happenend to this attempt to provide a raster drawing program for KDE?

Re: Krita/Krayon? - David Faure - 2002-06-24

Krita is (will be) pixel-based image manipulation (think photoshop, gimp etc.). And it lacks developers - not much happened on it for quite some time. Krayon is the new vector-drawing app - and it's in KOffice-1.2 (beta2, very soon now).

Re: Krita/Krayon? - ac - 2002-06-24

That's Karbon. Krayon and Krita are the same thing. Mosfet has a GIMP-like for KDE but it's not released.

Re: Krita/Krayon? - David Faure - 2002-06-24

Duh. I misread krayon as karbon (heh, most "crayons" use carbon ;) Yes, Krayon was renamed Krita (stupid trademarks).
