[2] How to Build TkDesk from SRC

The TkDesk RPM building procedure is described in its spec file:

jp-tkdesk.spec

The point is to apply the above JP-patch and compile the patched source files with CC_OPTS='-O -DKANJI -DKINPUT2'.
You can rebuild the RPM using its corresponding SRPM as:

# rpm --rebuild <somewhere>/jp-TkDesk-1.0-1a.src.rpm

[3] How to Install TkDesk

Before installing jp-tkdesk, update your Mklinux to DR2.1update4 or higher: the package requires the full shared library support coming with DR2.1update4.

Onece the update is completed, the rest is a piece of cake.

First install a shared version of the japanized tcl7.6/tk4.2 combo:

# rpm -U <somewhere>/jp-tcltk-7.6p2_4.2p2-1A.ppc.rpm

if you haven't.

Otherwise, go straight ahead to the installation of TkDesk:

# rpm -U <somewhere>/jp-TkDesk-1.0-1a.ppc.rpm

In order to input Japanese characters, you have to have kinput2 started.
