Origin

The original source tar-ball from:
http://www.vectaport.com/pub/src/ivtools-0.6.5.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-0.6.5:

ivtools-0.6jp-2.0gamma.patch

An additional patch was also created to compile "ivtools" on MkLinux DR3:

ivtools-0.6-ppc.patch

How to Build Ivtools from SRC

The RPM building procedure is described in its spec file:
jp-ivtools.spec


You can rebuild the RPM using its corresponding SRPM as:

# rpm --rebuild <somewhere>/jp-ivtools-0.6.5-1a.src.rpm

How to Install Ivtools

# rpm -ivh <somewhere>/jp-ivtools-0.6.5-1a.ppc.rpm

Getting Started With Ivtools

Since the whole package resides in /opt/ivtools, you need to add "/opt/ivtools/bin" to your PATH:
$ export PATH=$PATH:/opt/ivtools/bin
Then you may want to set some Japanese font related resources. An example can be found in /usr/doc/jp-ivtools-0.6.5/drawtool-0.6.5jp.ad. You can merge this into your ".Xdefaults" or just type:
$ xrdb -merge /usr/doc/jp-ivtools-0.6.5/drawtool-0.6.5jp.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!
