Re: Downloading and compiling projects

Ahlan Ossama,

Well, sorry for the misunderstanding, but you didn't have to edit the makefile, you had only to type (for example, if your $QTDIR was _really_ different from the one in the makefile)

prompt> make QTDIR='/usr/lib/qt3/'

and if /usr/lib/qt3/ is your QTDIR.

That's all :)

(This should be fixed before any release by using autotools, so people won't have to enter this on prompt. This is only for the current developement version.)

Anyway, i'm glad that you could compile it ! And I see on the screenshot that your are pushing poor old bayani to its limits ;)

However, for the arabic you have to configure your desktop. I'm no expert in this field but there are many people who faced this and wrote for us many valuable howtos. I can't tell you nothing but to read them and test !

For example:
http://www.arabeyes.org/howto/arabic-howto.en/
http://www.linux-egypt.org/article/42?PHPSESSID=8bf45b4dbbce2e32d537d461581c76df
Or you can also browse the arabeyes mailing lists archives :)

Wishing you good luck,

Youcef.

PS: look at this screenshot

You can see proper arabic joining. But you can also see that there are too many strings I'm too lazy to write directly in arabic (it's a long story !), but that I'll do of course.

Good News.
Finally, I'm able to compile one project at least which is Bayani :)
I had to change the Makefile and put my QTDIR path instead of
the one used. I though first that #make 'my own qt dir' meant that
I should create the Qt3 directory.. hehe :o) Anyway, I compiled
without any errors, and I could run it but the problem that I have
now is Arabic.
I'm using RH8.0 and haven't configured it for Arabic. Although
the menus appear in Arabic, but the letter aren't connected.
So, I just need to configure the desktop now.

I have a suggestion. Why don't you use the QTDIR variable that
I guess should be defined for each distribution, instead of asking
the user to specify it?

again, thank you all for your help and more to come.

Salam,
Honestly I was interested in testing it, because
I love graphical plotting specially with sin and
cosine and similar things. I used to do simple
programmes with GWBasic basic 1989 in School :)
I'll try to do what you suggested and get back
here.

Thank you all for your help.

I hope you will have all the pleasure in testing it in a few days insha Allah (I mean with all the features, now it displays by default a logarithmic function that you can't modify ! I'm implementing the menus that let you modify it ;)), but i'd be happy if you could compile it:)

Salam.
