besides WorldView and (X)Emacs? What about other Eastern Asian languages?

There is cxterm package at

http://cxterm.sourceforge.net/

but I've never had the luck to get it working.

Thanks!

Hey voidfoo!

There's a ultra sweet editor called Yudit . It compiles very fine with the freeware tools under 6.5.17m, and will fulfil your wildest dreams. I use it daily to write Polish, Armenia, French, German and Russian unicode text. It's a bit rough getting used to, for it has a custom interface, but it's nonetheless the best out there. And if you wanna hack the code, write an email to the author, he's a nice guy and helps out a lot.

I installed Yudit today and it is running well. Thanks.

But I still want more than an editor. Does XIM mechanism exist in latest version of IRIX? My IRIX is 6.5.5 and only a few locales are supported, and I couldn't install any XIM program.

the cxterm package mentioned in my previous post is an X terminal emulator that supports CJK. So at least I can input CJK text to console programs running in it (like mutt, tin, BitchX, etc.) Maybe I can open a ansi-term in Emacs and do this too? I don't know. I will try to see if it works.

I did some modifications to the cxterm source and make it compile but when I ran it, nothing appeared except that the program was running at background. An X terminal window was supposed to appear. I just don't know where is the problem.

I just compiled/installed 5.1p2 from SourceForge using the bundled config.sh script and it works perfectly ... compiled, installed and set up the environment automatically. I used MIPSPro 7.3 to compile it.

Here's a screenshot:



Here is the compiled tarball:

Extract, execute the 'config.sh' script and run through the options starting at '3. Install cxterm (after successful compilation in 2)' . This should install the compiled binaries.

I went with this slightly older version since the 'configure' script in the newer versions seems not to work so well under IRIX. Let me know if you have any problems.

Thank you for taking your time to help me! I just installed it and it rocks!

I guess the possible reason why I couldn't get it compile is either

1) It doesn't like freeware gcc. I don't have MIPSPro license so can't use it. But this is unlikely because gcc works very well with many other packges. After hacking the cxterm source I can still made it compile and run. I just couldn't get the desired result.

or

2) My previous IRIX is old (6.5.5). Maybe some header files are old. I just upgraded it to 6.5.17m yesterday but haven't tried cxterm again yet.

I don't think I want to tried it again since I already got a running version from you. Thank you again!

No problem, glad I could help!

I also created a tardist for Yudit this evening if anyone needs it:
