Wnn4.2: Network Extensible Kana-to-Kanji Conversion Server

News

• Nov 11, 1998: (Wnn6-SDK-1.0-1a) Wnn6 client software developer's kit prepared as RPM packages. The information is from (mklinux-jp 10796) by T.Matsuura and I would like to thank him here. The package building procedure is given in its SPEC file. Some patches were necessary to build a usable runtime shared library on my MkLinux box. These patches are available from the SOURCES subdirectory. The wnn6-sdk_malloc.patch is similar to Kaoru Fukui's patch for Wnn-4.2 and I am very grateful to him.
• Oct 1, 1998: (Wnn-4.2-7glibc) There is now Nagata's official version of Wnn-4.2-7glibc available from the JRPM project. Use the official version if you haven't yet got it.
• Jul 11, 1998: (Wnn-4.2-7glibc) Rebuilt Nagata's JRPM with Kaoru Fukui(k_fukui@highway.ne.jp)'s patch: Wnn_KF001.patch.tar.gz (cf mklinux-jp 9262). This patch allows xemacs to use wnn's kana-to-kanji conversion function. According to Fukui, the shared library libwnn.so did not contain malloc-related functions provided with the wnn source package. This made wnn's library functions to invoke corresponding malloc-related functions in xemacs that seemed to be incompatible. Take a look at Fukui's note (in Japanese)Wnn_KF001.doc for details. We can now use wnn in xemacs. Many thanks to Kaoru Fukui. Note also that the RPM packages in this directory are tentative ones valid only until an official RPM is provided from the JRPM project, probably by S.Nagata who is the package maintainer.
• May 28, 1998: (Wnn-4.2-6glibc) Rebuilt the JRPM package by S.Nagata with minor fixups: somehow, the original binary RPM didn't provide libwnn.so though it's contained in the package. Removed some startup symbolic links in /etc/rc.d/rc*.d from %config.

Installation Instructions

# vi /etc/passwd

.....

wnn:*:127:127:Jserver:/usr/local/lib/wnn:

# vi /etc/group

.....

wnn::127:wnn

# rpm -Uvh Wnn-4.2-7glibc.ppc.rpm

# rpm -Uvh Wnn-devel-4.2-7glibc.ppc.rpm

To start jserver, either reboot your system or do

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/jserver.init start

If you want to use a Wnn6 jserver on a remote host, you may want to install the Wnn6 clients' runtime library rpm, instead:

# rpm -Uvh Wnn6-SDK-1.0-1a.ppc.rpm

# rpm -Uvh Wnn6-SDK-devel-1.0-1a.ppc.rpm
