pinpoint 0.1.2 - a tool for making hackers do excellent presentations = Pinpoint a simple presentation tool that hopes to avoid audience death by bullet point and instead encourage presentations containing beautiful images and small amounts of concise text in slides. Pinpoints main web-presence is a page in the GNOME wiki: http://live.gnome.org/Pinpoint This release of pinpoint comes shortly after last weeks initial release, along with the last item on the list (ahem) there is some more regular improvements and fixes as well. • New background scaling type 'stretch' • Handle relative paths fully • Added '.mkv' to list of video extensions • Only treat # at start of line as comments • Improve documentation • Distribute ClutterScript based transitions in tarball (without it pinpoint didnt work) You can download the pinpoint 0.1.2 distribution tarball from http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pinpoint/0.1/pinpoint-0.1.2.tar.gz The sha1sum of this archive is: 3c22b446234fc8cd307aa6829303ace13e6a7f76 pinpoint-0.1.2.tar.gz You can clone the pinpoint git repository with the following command, or other equivalent commands for GNOME git repositories. git clone git://git.gnome.org/pinpoint Dependencies: Clutter 1.4 or newer GdkPixbuf 2.0 or newer GIO 2.0 or newer cairo-pdf 1.9.12 or newer and pangocairo (for optional PDF export) ClutterGst 1.3 or newer (for optional live videos as slide backgrounds) Dax 0.2 or newer (for experimental SVG slide background support) This pinpoint release was possible due to contributions from: Damien Lespiau, Øyvind Kolås, Jussi Kukkonen and Chris Lord -- Øyvind Kolås @ Intel Open Source Technology Centre - London ___ CREATE mailing list CREATE@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create

Oh me... This is too much work. It seems that there really is a long list of dependencies of advanced versions of various things, but configure only tells you one at a time, and they are generally not in fedora's repositories in recent enough versions. Just don't have the energy for compiling 10 different packages just to _try_ to compile pinpoint.

Pinpoint should depend on Clutter 1.4 or newer, (the oddness of x.3 indicates that it depended on the development version of clutter at the time it was written). Clutter 1.4.0 was released 2010-09-24, you might be better off trying to compile that version of clutter and installing its dependencies than going for a bleeding edge version of Clutter. Alternatively... fedora 15 is out in a couple of days. /pippin -- «The future is already here.
