Descriptions of the Current Directory

Japanized Tkmail


[0] News

[1] Files

This directory has the same structure as that of /usr/src/redhat after building the jp-tkmail-4.0beta9.

RPMS/ppc/*.ppc.rpm : binary packages
SOURCES/* : source files and patches
SPECS/*.spec : package building specs
SRPMS/*.src.rpm : source package
README.html : this file

[2] Precaution: This is STILL beta

The original tkmail-4.0beta9 is still in beta test as its name indicates. It works fine though as far as I know. The japanization patch I created is rather primitive and might contain bugs. If you find any problem, do not e-mail the original author. E-mail me at fujiik@jlcuxf.kek.jp instead. Nevertheless I cannot be responsible for any damage caused by this package. As always, install the package at your own risk!

[3] Installation Instructions

The package requires preinstallation of the japanized tcl/tk. If you don't have one, install it first as:

# ls
jp-tcltk-7.6p2_4.2p2-1A.ppc.rpm
# rpm -i jp-tcltk-7.6p2_4.2p2-1A.ppc.rpm
Once you have the japanized tcl/tk installed, check the tkmail rpm as

# ls
jp-tkmail-4.0beta9-2C.ppc.rpm
# rpm -qpl jp-tkmail-4.0beta9-2C.ppc.rpm

If you are satisfied with the contents of the package: proceed to

$ su
# rpm -i jp-tkmail-4.0beta9-2C.ppc.rpm

Caution: If you have already the previous version of tkmail-4.0, you have to edit your .tkmail4rc in your home directory:

$ vi ~/.tkmail4rc
.....
set mf(headlist-format) {%-20.20F %3m %2d %-5.5h %4l %-180.180s}
.....
Otherwise, you need to copy one:
$ cp /usr/local/lib/tkmail4/example.tkmail4rc ~/.tkmail4rc
in order to allow Japanese input with kinput2.

Now you are ready to try it by typing:

$ tkmail4
Good luck!

Note Added
If you get an error message telling that tkmail couldn't find "blt_bell", replace "blt_bell 80" by "bell" in ~/.tkmail4rc.
