Salut,I tried to port an app to the hurd, to see how difficult/easy it could be.
I chose: gimp1.2 (1.2.3-2). You will find attached the diff of the only file I had to modify.
What works: - make -f debian/rules build; - make -f debian/rules binary; What fails:- gimp1.2-perl doesn't install (depends on libgtk-perl, which seems to have no available version on the hurd);
- there are shm warnings (normal?); What I could test: - launching (!);- make a simple (and small) image with two layers, a plain color and a gradient;
- try the render->lava script-fu;Some more precise testing should be done, but it won't be by me (don't know how to).
I can't really send my beautiful patch to the debian bts until that libgtk-perl issue is solved (I did not investigate how bad it was).
Any comment? Or, more precisely, any advice for a beginner? Snark on #hurd, #hurdfr
