Getting 4PaneThere are three ways to acquire 4Pane:
Getting a Binary PackageThere are binary packages available for recent versions of most of the main distros. RpmsFirst tell rpm about the 4Pane public key. Get superuser privileges with su or sudo, then do:rpm --import http://www.4pane.co.uk/4Pane.asc
Or you can do the same thing in two steps: first download the key file with wget, then install it. wget http://www.4pane.co.uk/4Pane.asc
rpm --import ./4Pane.asc
Then download the appropriate rpm by clicking on its link, and follow the instructions in Installing:
Alternatively, if you've already installed the wxWidgets rpm, you should be able to download and install in one step. e.g. for SUSE 12.3 i386: rpm -Uvh http://www.4pane.co.uk/1.0/rpm/SuSE/i386/4Pane-1.0-1.suse12.3.i586.rpm
If you are using an older version of these distros, there may be a 0.8.0 build available: see the previous releases page. RepositoriesIf you use a debian-based distro (or PCLinuxOS), there are the following repositories:
The ubuntu packages will also work on kubuntu/xubuntu/lubuntu and on mint (the squeeze or wheezy packages should work on mint debian).
These repositories also provide debuginfo debs, should you need them; and they still contain some 0.5.1/0.6.0/0.7.0/0.8.0 builds for no-longer-supported versions of the distros. Alternatively this link lets you access the 0.5.1/0.6.0/0.7.0/0.8.0 pages. You'll need to tell apt about the 4Pane public key by doing, as superuser: apt-key adv --fetch-keys http://www.4pane.co.uk/4Pane.asc
You can either use synaptic or equivalent, or add the appropriate url to /etc/apt/sources.list by hand. (see here for details). If you don't want to use a repository directly, you can instead download a .deb file (or for PCLinuxOS, an rpm) by clicking the appropriate link below, then install it with dpkg as described in Installing.
For Knoppix 6.4.3 and later, use debian squeeze i386. Again, should you be using an older version of these distros, there may be a 0.8.0 or earlier package available: this link lets you access the their pages. OthersSlackware
There are slackware tgz packages as follows:
(When 14.0 wxGTKs are available I'll create 14.0 packages of 4Pane too. Meanwhile the 13.37 packages seem to work perfectly well.)
Download the package with wget or a browser, then install it as usual with pkginstall (don't forget to install wxWidgets first). To build from the source package, extract it (tar -xzf) and follow the instructions in its README file. You need to have the wxWidgets (wxGTK) runtime library on your system. Get the one that matches your system, from either i386 or x86_64. Gentoo and Sabayon
There is an overlay and ebuild that will work for both gentoo and sabayon. If you use layman, do the following in a terminal, as root: layman -f -o http://4pane.co.uk/gentoo/overlay.xml -a 4Pane
emerge 4pane If you don't use layman, make a suitably-named directory in for the ebuild, and download it: cd /usr/portage/local && mkdir 4Pane && cd 4Pane
You need to tell portage about this, as described in http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_3rd_Party_Ebuilds#Local_Portage_Overlay. Here you will do this by adding a line
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/4Pane"
to /etc/make.conf, using your favourite text editor. If there is already a PORTDIR_OVERLAY= line there, to avoid clobbering other overlays you should instead append the line:
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="${PORTDIR_OVERLAY} /usr/portage/local/4Pane"wget http://4pane.co.uk/gentoo/overlay.tar.gz tar -xzf ./overlay.tar.gz Then do emerge 4pane Zenwalk
4Pane is in the Zenwalk repository, so you can get it as usual with netpkg.
However that package is of an old version of 4Pane, and was built for Zenwalk 5.2. Here are 4Pane 1.0 packages for Zenwalk 7.0 and Zenwalk 7.2. Download, then install using installpkg (you'll need to have first installed the wxgtk package with netpkg). Puppy
For 4Pane to work, you will need to have installed wxWidgets. Puppy doesn't currently have a recent-enough package for this, so there's
one here: wxGTK_LIB-2.8.9-i486.pet.
The 4Pane package is: 4pane-1.0-i486.pet. These packages are known to work both on recent Puppy slacko versions and (amazingly) on much older pups: even Puppy 3.1! Download the packages with wget or SeaMonkey, then install them as usual with Puppy package manager. There is also an older wxWidgets lib package, wxGTK_LIB-2.8.7-i486.pet, in case anyone finds it useful. And here are the corresponding dev packages: wxGTK_DEV-2.8.9-i486.pet and wxGTK_DEV-2.8.7-i486.pet. You don't need these to run 4Pane, only if you want to build your own pets that depend on wxWidgets. Debug rpmsYou don't really need these, but there are also debuginfo rpms available:
The PCLinuxOS debuginfo rpms are in its repository. |
