The conventional way when you're stuck with a binary you can't rebuild is to mv the binary to a new name, and save a shell script in the old name that sets the variable just for that binary and then executes it. (Though even that has problems if your binary in turn execs other programs.) But, since that's in /usr/local and sounds like open source software, you should just build it right in the first place. -- -Alan Coopersmith-alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Platform Engineering: X Window System ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

As hinting is usually meant to fit outlines to the pixel grid at small sizes for clarity, the phrase "subpixel hinting" is a bit of an oxymoron. The main part is self-described as simply disabling hinting along the X axis. Do these apply to the autohinter or the embedded hints? Do you have examples of rendering improvements? If there are improvements, why hasn't upstream adopted them? "Good" for font rendering is highly subjective. With the (formerly patented) bytecode interpreter enabled, I find the FreeType output for most fonts included with the system, such as the commonly used Liberation and DejaVu fonts, to be pleasant and have less noticeable artifacts than the Windows font renderer output with the Windows system fonts and Core Fonts. -Albert ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
[OpenIndiana-discuss] Subpixel Patches
All, Sorry in advance if this more of an IllumOS question, but I don't think it is. As somebody who sits and stares at an LCD all day long, I have a nitpick for fonts looking good. This has been one area that for me, all *IXs have been falling flat on. In my quest, I found the following site: http://www.infinality.net/blog/?cat=4 They offer patches for freetype, cairo, and libXft that make fonts awesome. Back in the OpenSolaris days, when I was attempting to move my work laptop over, I managed to get freetype patched, but I always had problems finding the correct cairo & libXft sources to patch/install. Before I attempt again, is there any decent reason why these patches shouldn't be in IllumOS/OpenIndiana proper? I went through all of the SRPMs and pulled out the font patches and put them @ http://www.cmsnoc.com/font/ to make it easier to dig through. -Dustin ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Java failed for Sun to bring them money. 2. Snorcle can not *close* Java. In worst case it will be a fork from OpenJDK, as it already is with forks like us (OpenIndiana), LibreOffice and SkySQL. And we already have IcedTea around. The logic here is pretty simple: if the difference of two JVM's (payed and free) will be small (as Snorcle beats the breast "there will be always fast performance free JVM"), Snorcle will capture bigger market chunk. If not, expect it will really fork. When I say "free" and "small difference", I also mean that we still will be able to write *commercial* software with their *free* version legally. They have now JRockit (very performant JVM) and Hotspot (more to be reliable, rather then performant) and Oracle always wanted to merge them together. After all, if Snorcle wants, then they can push patents, since Java *and* Solaris are Oracle IP, by the way. Therefore this strategy is probably valid to everything, where they have fingers in, including OpenIndiana itself. Google is using Java extensively, so they will do something about it (Go comes in mind). Therefore I would rather stop cry, keep an eye on random moves at Oracle, and make sure IcedTea is working on OpenIndiana flawlessly out of the standard package. :-) The bottom line is: Java will never be more free than is now. So bear with that. -- Kind regards, BM Things, that are stupid at the beginning, rarely ends up wisely. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

As others have mentioned, setting LD_PRELOAD in your shell is massively deprecated - you can and will get weird results. When you're building your utility/app/whatever, use LDFLAGS=-R/path/to/libs:/path/to/other/libs -L/path/to/libs -L/path/to/other/libs that way the binaries will have the right search path baked into them at compile time, rather than you needing to hack around them with LD_PRELOAD afterwards. As an aside if anyone can recommend good source/tutorial on linking / compiling in c I would be very grateful. I recommend bookmarking this collection: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/45.27?l=en OpenSolaris Software Developer Collection and then having a read through the Linker and Libraries Guide (http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-0690?l=en).

But, something is reenabling the service, which in my opinion should not be happening. I have not had a chance to dig into it further. OI is not unstable, we should stop saying so.
