Hello folks,
I use fink 0.8.1 on my Tiger powered ibook G4 and have recently
switched from Apples X11 to fink's Xorg package. So far, everything
works as planned except some minor cosmetic issues in rootless mode
(Graphics behind KDE-Menus won't redraw properly in some circumstances).
The only "real" problem I have now is, that some X11 based programs
(okay, games :-) ) which were not installed via fink, com as self
contained application bundles, so you're able to double-click 'em in
an Aqua environment and X11 should start up. theoretically.
The bundles I've tried so far, FreeCiv and Scorched3D seem to rely
exclusively on Apple's X11, at least for FreeCIV I get an error-
message telling me this. What can I do to convince these bundles to
work with XDarwin.app? What I've tried so far is:
From Finder/Aqua:
- started XDarwin/KDE manually and then tried to double-click the bundle
- placed an Alias titled "X11" in /Applications/Utilities/ pointing
to /Applications/XDarwin.app
- Opened the bundle (right-click and choose (de): "Paketinhalt
zeigen") and tried to execute the Unix-executable therein.
From XDarwin/KDE:
- Opened the bundle (appears as a Folder) and tried to execute the
Unix-executable.
Here it isn't recognised as an executable but as a document and KDE
asks me which Program I want to open it with :-/
So far I didn't have the heart to try chmod+x inside the bundle
although it might be the right way to go
I'm stuck :-)
Any more hints or ideas what to try next?
Thanks, Markus
