Re: ANN: PikoPixel pixel-art editor

[Josh Freeman]

   With some tweaks, got PikoPixel 1.0 BETA5 (original version)  
running on PC-BSD, with GNUstep from packages:

   On that platform, the +load messages are sent in the reverse order  
that they're sent on Debian - still dependent on the order of the  
GNUmakefile's sources list, but going from last-to-first instead of  
first-to-last.

   The fix is to reorder the GNUmakefile, along with a couple of  
small code changes; I saw a KDE window-ordering issue that's similar  
to Compiz's (https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?45442 ), so forcing  
PikoPixel's Compiz workarounds to install  
(PPGNUstepGlue_CompizWindowManager.m) seems to help.

   What's the best way to send the fix for the FreeBSD package -  
diffs, changed files, upload a separate archive?

Thanks,

Josh
