Kinput2: Kanji Input Server for X11

[0] News

Mar 26, 1998: kinput2-v2fix4-2 RPM's are now available into which a patch by Honma has been included to get around problems encountered when using netscape with kinput2 running. See http://nug.nasu-net.or.jp/~honma/netscape/ for details. With this new kinput2, you can specify Japanese fonts for netscpae's resources such as XmText, etc., though I haven't succeeded in Japanese input yet.
Dec 1, 1997: kinput2-v2-fix4-beta2 RPM's are now available, thanks to Yamaguchi at Univ. of Tokyo. See below.
Nov 30, 1997: kinput2-v2-fix4-beta2 built with DR2.1update6-shared. This version is compatible with Wnn.

[2] How to Build Kinput2 from SRC

First extract the source code and patches in Yamaguchi's SRPM (mklinux-jp 6078):

# rpm -i <somewhere>/kinput2-v2fix4-1.src.rpm

I have created a patch file from Honma's kinput2-FilterEvent.tar.gz as kinput2-filterevent.patch. Put it and kinput2.README in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES

# cp <somewhere>/kinput2.README /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES

# cp <somewhere>/kinput2-filterevent.patch /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES

Then build RPMS with kinput2-v2fix4.spec:

# cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS

# cp <somewhere>/kinput2-v2fix4.spec .

# rpm -ba kinput2-v2fix4.spec

This creates RPMs:

kinput2-v2fix4-2.src.rpm

kinput2-v2fix4-2.ppc.rpm

kinput2-canna-v2fix4-2.ppc.rpm

kinput2-canna-wnn-v2fix4-2.ppc.rpm

kinput2-wnn-v2fix4-2.ppc.rpm
