Another way to build plucker
Authored by: buc99 on Mar 20, '02 11:38:19AM

Another way to build plucker is to backout of the unix directory after following step3:
$ ../
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

This will install the .plucker directory in your user directory and make the .pluckerrc file based upon the questions you answered when you ran the install script.

This way you do not need to point to the directory that has the home.html file you can instead just run:

$ plucker-build -f news

and a news.pdb file will be created in your .plucker directory.

This works fine in version 1.1.13. So I assume that it will work fine in 1.1.14. I don't use 1.1.14 because I was having trouble with it and my m505.

If you have the netcomics module working then you can try this script I just wrote below:

#!/bin/sh
plucker-build -f news ;
cp ~/.plucker/news.pdb ~/Documents/Palm/Users/SA/Files to Install ;
cp ~/.plucker/home.html ~/.plucker/home.html.bck ;
pluck-comics -dh dilbert ;
pluck-comics -h committed ;
pluck-comics -h getfuzzy ;
pluck-comics -h momma ;
pluck-comics -h motley ;
pluck-comics -h pickles ;
pluck-comics -h offsides ;
pluck-comics -h strangebrew ;
pluck-comics -h babyblue ;
pluck-comics -h zits ;
pluck-comics -h calvinandhobbes ;
pluck-comics -h warped ;
cp ~/netcomics/index.html ~/.plucker/home.html ;
plucker-build -f comics ;
cp ~/.plucker/comics.pdb ~/Documents/Palm/Users/SA/Files to Install ;
cp ~/.plucker/home.html.bck ~/.plucker/home.html ;

This will make a news.pdb file and a comics.pdb file. I'm not 100% sure the comics part will work yet but give it a try. And if anyone else out there can write a better script, please do so. My scripting ability is very limited.

Thanks,
SA

` build plucker, it warns me about lack of graphics support, but as far as I can tell, I have downloaded all the required stuff, (jpeg librarys etc... ) I guess i nead an idiots guide to fully installing plucker, including the support files.

Another way to build plucker

Process listed by jambiscuit works OK on 10.1.5, but I can't get it to work on 10.2.

I've read elsewhere that Plucker requires "some coaxing" to get it to work in 10.2.

Has anybody got it to work in 10.2?

What did you do?

Thanks,

Andy

Update to my post about getting Plucker to work with 10.2.

You can use the install process outlined in the original post, and it works.

You don't need to install Python, becuase it's already in 102.

There is a problem with the way plucker interacts with 10.2 because plucker is installed in /usr/local/bin and this is no longer in the normal path under 10.2. The way I added this was to creatre a .tcshrc file in my home directory (thanks to folks in comp.sys.mac.system) with the line:

setenv PATH /usr/local/bin:$PATH

I had a problem because I was using BBEdit and fo rsome reason (even though I set it to) it was not writing the file in UNIX format. Once I got the UNIX line endings fixed it worked just fine.

Now the only problem I have is that I don't have graphics support.

Thanks,

Andy

Thanks for posting out the 10.2 stuff
Authored by: DAC on Oct 14, '02 05:51:00PM

I was pulling my hair out trying to get this to work under 10.2, and this really helped me out. My problem was that I had first tried an install following the first set of instructions, and something got messed up due to the path issue. Later install attempts did not work because some "bad" file that was created was living through the re-install.

Haveing these easy to follow instructons with a report of success was a huge help.
