patching pose for Ubuntu 8.04
I recently found my old Palm IIIe in one of my "old-hardware"-boxes, and wanted to write some programs for it (coding nostalgia :-)). Unfortunately the ubuntu package is broken and every time i started it i got a "hardware exception #3"
not so funny
after some googling i found out that i'm not the only one and there is a ubuntu bugreport including a patch
i could not get the posted dsc file to work so i searched a bit and found out how to apply the patch manually
first fetch the sourcecode of the pose package
apt-get source pose
then change into the directory cd pose-3.5
and copy the download patch to debian/patches
than edit the debian/patches/00list
and append the filename of the patch (50_gcc41.dpatch)
change the version of the package using
dch -i
and buidl the deb files with
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b
then change to the parent directory and install the newly build deb files using
sudo dpkg -i pose_3.5-9.1ubuntu2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i pose-doc_3.5-9.1ubuntu2_all.deb
é voilà! - a working pose
