I have precompiled Slackware packages of mtPaint 3.30 on Sourceforge (naturally, since I'm running Slackware myself). But compiling mtPaint properly isn't hard to do - "./configure --prefix=/usr intl release" should be proper settings for Puppy (omit "intl" if you don't need internationalized version). The "release" switch does several things - it enables select optimizations which really do improve speed, tells linker not to add unneeded dependencies, and disables debug code GTK+ would otherwise add. Overall, this makes the executable smaller, faster, and more portable. The target architecture is chosen to be i386, because later architectures just increase the binary size without any noticeable improvement in performance.big_bass wrote:A suggestion compile a slackware package
and or re post how you want it compiled correctly I'll happily compile it on slackware
since the new woof format allows for slackware.tgz
If you can do this once I released version 3.31, it'll be greatly appreciated.I can quickly make it a pet and upload it to puppylinux.ca
and I include the docs since they are usually small anyway
BTW, mtPaint 3.31 prerelease version source is here: http://mtpaint.sourceforge.net/temp/mtp ... 05.tar.bz2
Should not happen. Maybe the patch hadn't applied correctly? It needs to be applied from within the "src" subdirectory, or it won't find the file to patch.UPDATED just patched and recompiled but the background was still black on the start up screen
