[Tuxpaint-devel] the Sugar port

[Albert C. <aca...@gm...>]

First of all, it runs.

I will need to fix the Makefile. Much breakage is likely;
I hope that won't affect anybody. Currently there is no
working DESTDIR support; the PKG_ROOT and PREFIX
stuff is somehow broken. This causes the difficult
install process; paths in the binary start off with
"../TuxPaint.activity/" instead of "./" or nothing.

Setting VIDEO_BPP to anything other than 32 will
break both stamps and fonts. I guess grass and other
tools break as well. Maybe just give up on this one;
it would simplify things.

Tux Paint has an excess of low-quality brushes, stamps,
and magic tools. Perhaps a disinterested 3rd party should
tell us what to throw away.

Why is sysfonts off by default? I had **NO** fonts on
the OLPC XO until I enabled sysfonts.

The *.so files are bad. They aren't built with -fPIC or -fpic.
Run-time relocation is required. At best, this will slow the
start-up time and eat memory. On some SE Linux setups,
Tux Paint will need special security-override markings just
to run.
