JP-IVTOOLS: Japanized Ivtools

[0] News

Feb 2, 1998: ivtools-0.6.1-1A
built with a Japanization patch for InterViews-3.1 adopted from its FreeBSD port.

[1] Origin

The original source tar-ball from:

http://www.vectaport.com/pub/src/ivtools-0.6.1.tgz

and the original Japanization patch for InverViews-3.1 from

ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/os/FreeBSD/distfiles/iv/iv3_1j_gamma.tar.gz

I have adopted the Japanization patch to ivtools-0.6.1:

ivtools-0.6jp-2.0gamma.patch

An additional patch was also created to compile "ivtools" on MkLinux:

ivtools-0.6-ppc.patch

[2] How to Build Ivtools from SRC

The RPM building procedure is described in its spec file:

jp-ivtools-0.6.1.spec

You can rebuild the RPM using its corresponding SRPM as:

# rpm --rebuild <somewhere>/jp-ivtools-0.6.1-1A.src.rpm

[3] How to Install Ivtools

Before installing ivtools, update your Mklinux to DR2.1update4 or higher: the package requires the full shared library support coming with DR2.1update4 including shared X11 libraries.

Onece the update is completed, the rest is easy:

# rpm -i <somewhere>/jp-ivtools-0.6.1-1A.ppc.rpm

[4] Getting Started With Ivtools

Since the whole package resides /usr/local/ivtools, you need to add "/usr/local/ivtools/bin" to your PATH:

$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/ivtools/bin

Then you may want to set some Japanese font related resources. An example can be found in /usr/doc/jp-ivtools-0.6.1/drawtool-0_6_1jp.ad. You can merge this into your ".Xdefaults" or just type:

$ xrdb -merge /usr/doc/jp-ivtools-0.6.1/drawtool-0_6_1jp.ad

You should also get your "kinput2" started, if you want to input "Japanese" in the drawing editor:

$ kinput2 &

Then you can start, for example, "drawtool":

$ drawtool

"Ctrl+\" should start your Japanese input method. Enjoy!
