[tlug] Japanese Input

[sakewish <sakewish@example.com>]

All,

Thanks again for all your help with Japanese input. 
To close the loop, I thought I'd write the steps I
used in case anyone cares.  I used the latest versions
of canna & kinput2 (Oct 2002? - there are some
problems with this package - needs update).  Build
system had gcc-3.2.3, binutils-2.14, make-3.80,
glibc-2.3.2 & xf86-4.4.0.

Attached is a .txt doccument with the commands I used
to compile & configure the system.  Init is
accomplished by Util-linux's simpleinit.  

This will allow input for the Opera browser & probably
some other stuff.  My main goal was to be able to
write e-mail, which this will allow.  You'll need more
to type in ATerm or other.

色々とありがとうございました。

S A Kewish

    cat > /sbin/init.d/canna << 'done'
    #!/bin/sh
    if [ $1 != "start" ];then exit 0;fi
    need rc || exit 1
    /usr/local/canna/bin/cannaserver
    done

    chmod 0755 /sbin/init.d/canna

    echo export PATH='$PATH':/usr/local/canna/bin >> /etc/profile

    /sbin/ldconfig -v

COMPILE & INSTALL KINPUT2

    cd /usr/local/src/kinput2*
    xmkmf -a

Japanese input should work (toggle on & off with Shift-space)
