To Build Hanterm-xf 2.0.6 on Debian Linux

Hanterm-xf is a fast and functional X-terminal emulator. Although development of Hanterm-xf ceased long ago, I find hanterm-xf very useful because it has built-in Korean input system and displays Latin, Korean and Unicode well. Trying to find the hanterm-xf source was not so easy, but I found it here. I downloaded hanterm-xf-2.0.6-177.tar.gz. Compiling Hanterm-xf requires the following development packages to be installed:

• gcc
• make
• libncursesw5-dev
• libxft-dev
• libxaw7-dev

Before compiling hanterm-xf, I had to make some symbolic links in /usr/include.

ln -s ncursesw /usr/include/ncurses
ln -s freetype2/freetype /usr/include

I unpacked the hanterm-xf source and entered the source directory:

tar xzvf hanterm-xf-2.0.6-177.tar.gz
cd hanterm-xf-2.0.6-177

I ran ./configure for hanterm-xf as follows:

./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i586-pc-linux-gnu --enable-doublechars --enable-freetype --enable-i18n --disable-input-method --disable-maximize --enable-pty-handshake --disable-tek4014 --enable-toolbar --disable-vt52 --enable-wide-chars --enable-chat --enable-now-chat

I had to modify the LIBS line of Makefile in order to successfully link hanterm with libncursesw5 later. Basically, I appended -lncursesw at the end of the LIBS line.

LIBS = -lXft -lfreetype -lXrender -lXrender -lXaw -lXmu -lXext -lXt -lSM -lICE -lX11 -lnsl -lncursesw

Then, I compiled hanterm-xf as follows:

make
make install

During make, I got an error about xutf8.h and Xlib.h. In response, I just commented the offending lines in xutf8.h.

/* #ifndef _XLIB_H_
#error Please include <X11/Xlib.h> before "xutf8.h"
#endif */

Packaging Hanterm-xf 2.0.6

I made a package of hanterm-xf with the following contents:

/usr/bin/hanterm
/usr/share/hangul_keyboard/2bul.kbd
/usr/share/hangul_keyboard/3bul_390.kbd
/usr/share/hangul_keyboard/3bul_final.kbd
/usr/share/hangul_keyboard/dvorak.map
/usr/share/hangul_keyboard/dvorak_2bul.kbd
/usr/share/hangul_keyboard/dvorak_3bul_390.kbd
/usr/share/hangul_keyboard/dvorak_3bul_final.kbd
/usr/share/man/man1/hanterm.1.gz
/etc/X11/app-defaults/Hanterm
/etc/X11/app-defaults/Hanterm-color
