News

Aug 20, 1998: kinput2-v2fix5_alpha1-1 RPM's are now available. This version is presumably free from the problem previously worked around with Honma's filter event patch. Get it from here, if you want to try it. Since this is under alpha tests, no links below point to this alpha version. Note also that this version is incompatible with the previous netscape-wrapper. Redownload today's version from here.
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.

How to Build Kinput2 from SRC

If you want to build the RPMs for yourself, 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
