Req: Compilable version for distro's other than debian or rpm package.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Can you provide a version that can be compiled or installed on Opensuse?  A rpm 
would probably be generic enough to work on both fedora and opensuse.  The 
program "alien" may be able to do the conversion.   I downloaded the source and 
couldn't make heads or tails on how to install it since the docs all assume you 
are running debian.

Thank you for your time.

Ah yes, I didn't really think that would work. Worth a shot though. I don't 
know enough about RPM to properly package this, but if you can find a packager 
who is willing I am happy to work with them. However I don't have the time to 
study how to package RPMs at this point myself.

Thanks for taking a stab at it....ended up using the mywords firefox extension.

If you are really keen, there is a thread on the AutoKey group on getting it 
working on Mandriva, which should be applicable to Opensuse AFAIK

• Changed state: Done

Thank you.  Following the mandriva instructions with some minor changes (use 
zypper instead of urpmi,   the name of the autokey init file has changed etc)  
I was able to get it installed and the gtk icon into the systray.

Here's an RPM SPEC file that I created against 0.71.3, on my Fedora 15 
desktop... might work on other distros/versions, but probably will need changes 
in the "Requires".  You end up with 3 rpms: autokey (common files and event 
daemon), autokey-gtk (gtk gui) and autokey-qt (kde gui).

The only real glitch I have is the status icon... but I'm pretty sure it just 
needs updates for gnome-shell tray/status, and has nothing to do with packaging.
