=============================================================
## About this program
MaCoPiX is a desktop mascot program.
This program is a free software distributed under the GNU GPL2.
Currently, you can make following types of mascots using MaCoPiX.
- Focus follower (Window sitters : likely ActX)
- Fix style (Desktop wappen?)
Furthermore, you can select with or without a digital clock for
each types of mascots. So, MaCoPiX can be used as a sort of desktop clock
applications. (But the clock function could be still poor.)
And, the biff function is also available for POP/APOP environments.
SSL/TLS protocol for POP/APOP has been supported experimentally in
ver.1.6.2.
At once, users can create mascots and change their settings from GUI
instead of editing mascot files directly.
## Main features
- Focus follower / Fixed desktop mascots
- Biff function [POP3/APOP]
- Clock function
- Detailed and varied settings fro GUI (Mascot can be build from GUI)
- Multiple execution
## Environment
[for Microsoft Windows (binary version)]
- Windows2000,XP or later (Still unconfirmed on Vista)
- Including TAR32.DLL(GPL) in the binary distribution.
* You can download it (free-software, GPL) form the HP of
"Common Archiver Library Project".
URL http://www.csdinc.co.jp/archiver/index-e.html
- All required libraries (Gtk+ etc.) are also included in the
binary package.
## Windows version
MaCoPiX has a common source code for Windows and UNIX.
Current windows version does not include
"Socket Message function (includes duet message mode)" .
But, windows version has some original features.
- Automatic extraction of mascot tar+gz archive using "TAR32.DLL".
- Alpha blending transparency (balloon, clock, mascots, biff image)
[Currently, ver1.7.0 starts to support transparency also on UNIX
only with some compositing window managers which supoort to
render translucent windows.]
For windows Biff function is only for POP/APOP. (not using any
local spools).
All required libraries are included in this binary archive.
Please copy the whole extracted folders and use it.
If you have installer version, please use installer.
## Installation - Starting up
In anyway, you have to download one mascot file at least.
Without mascot files, you cannot do anything with MaCoPiX.
1. Download main program of MaCoPiX-win32(this archive)
2. Install main program
3. Download MaCoPiX mascot archive (anyone you like)
(MaCoPiX-mascot-HxB-0.10.tar.gz etc..)
4. Start up macopix.exe
5. Install mascots. From "MaCoPiX Starting Up" message window
"Install" -> "Launcher menu"
Appoint downloaded mascot archive (.tar.gz)
6. Mascots are installed automatically
(UserData\ directory automatically created in the program directory)
Generally UserData dir should be
C:\User\(user name)\AppData\Roaming\MaCoPiX\UserData\
It is referring the environment argument %APPDATA% .
## Installation of Mascots
1. Download MaCoPiX mascot archive (anyone you like)
(MaCoPiX-mascot-HxB-0.10.tar.gz etc..)
2. Start up macopix.exe
3. From right click menu of mascot
"Install" -> "Launcher Menu"
Appoint downloaded mascot archive (.tar.gz)
6. Mascots are installed automatically
(to UserData\ directory in the program directory)
## BIFF function
This function is still testing version for Windows.
Please be careful to use it.
Basically, windows does not use any local spool.
So, the biff function of MaCoPiX-win32 can check only POP/APOP
server. (default : every 60secs)
POP/APOP with SSL/TLS protocols are now supported experimentally.
MaCoPiX-win32 cannot access IMAP servers.
In default, your password for the POP server will be filed
in the setting (UserData/macopix.ini).
If you pay attention the security on your PC, please uncheck
"Save password" in the Biff setting window.
In this case, you have to enter password for POP server at
starting up of MaCoPiX POP function, but more secure.
## FAQ
TBD
## Building MaCoPiX-Win32 from source tar-ball
msys,mingw,Gtk+/Win32, and TAR32.DLL are required.
You can also use UNLHA32.DLL. If you need, install it.
You can refer to a MUA program "sylpheed" page, which
also has the UNIX/Win common source code.
URL: http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/wiki/
- Extract source archive to the user directory on msys sytem.
- Prepare UNLHA32.DLL (If you need)
Copy
UNLHA32.DLL (C:\Program Files\ArchiverDll\UNLHA32\)
UNLHA32.H
to a directory on msys.
% pexports UNLHA32.DLL > unlha32.def
Edit unlha32.def . Add stdcall stack length (@n)
Unlha -> Unlha@16
UnlhaCloseArchive -> UnlhaCloseArchive@4
UnlhaOpenArchive -> UnlhaOpenArchive@12
UnlhaFindFirst -> UnlhaFindFirst@12
% dlltool -d unlha32.def -l libunlha32.a
- Copy libunlha32.a & UNLHA32.H to src/ directory in the source tree.
(For TAR32.DLL, the save procedure is required. But already prepared
in the distributed archive.)
- Run the script for make in the source directory
% ./makewin32.sh
- Program files are built in $HOME/dist/ .
