Title: vncserver and leafpad-editor extensions for piCore
Post by: beerstein on September 24, 2016, 02:45:11 PM

Hi: I would like to see my favorite editor "Leafpad" and a vnc server extension for piCore 8.x
I could try to do it myself but I am afraid it would take too long. Would someone from this forum help me?

1. find the source code, where? Or is it possible to use a .deb file from the Raspian repo and convert it.
I remember seeing a post here on how to convert a .deb file into an extension.

2. compile on piCore 8.0 on RASPI 3 - would that work? Or is the RASPI too slow?

3. create the extension (core book and wiki might be helpful)

4. test it

PS: I posted a message already at the Raspberry PI section, but not much action so far.

Hi again: Since I have not received one response to my post. Please can someone tell me why it takes so long
to bring the extensions from armv7.x to armv8.x?
1. What are the main reasons why extensions need so much work for bringing them over to armv8.x?
2. Can I use Tiny Core 7.x source code for compiling to armv8.x in piCore_8 ?
3. I brought over geany editor over from armv7.x to armv8.x, tested it and it works. I reported it to the maintainer (gutmensch) but still not in 8.x repo?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Developers are using their free time to work on the TC. Main goal is to offer a reliable, efficient and up to date core system. Same is valid for piCore. Available resources depend on job, family, etc. As it was stated previously, Xorg stuff is in beta test phase. Due to many changes in the system, 6.x/7.x repo is not copied over as it is. However, if you find old tcz is working for you, use it.

User contribution with NEWLY BUILT, UPDETAD packages welcome.

Gutmensch is dealing with x86 stuff, not 8.x
