imake discontinued

Anonymous — Fri, 21 May 2010 04:33:58 -0000

I just installed Ubuntu Linux26, which does not have imake (Wikipedia says imake is being discontinued).
The missing imake causes "make" to fail. Any suggestions on how to circumvent this. Thanks.

Add -comdraw_off to flipbook, graphdraw, and drawserv
and document its use in .mime.types in the web pages.

bug fix for horiz-vert multiline

Anonymous — Mon, 21 Jan 2002 16:34:49 -0000

I successfully compiled ivtools-1.0.1 using gcc-2.7.2
on my linux system but noticed a problem with the
multiline feature in that it would not properly draw
the second or any subsequent horizontal or vertical
lines. It always returned to the coordinates of the
very first point. I fixed this by adding the following
lines to manips.c (line 356) in the Unidraw directory:

_origx = e.x;
_origy = e.y;

so that this section of code now reads:

if (e.button == LEFTMOUSE) {
GetGrowingVertices()->AddVertex(e.x, e.y);
_origx = e.x;
_origy = e.y;
} else if (e.button == MIDDLEMOUSE) {

I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but
it makes idraw and drawtool much more usable programs
for me.

Thanks for a very useful set of programs.
