If you are looking for resource packages for Syllable
Desktop, go
here.
Binary software packages for Syllable Server do not run on
Syllable
Desktop, and the other way around (with the exception of some text
scripts).
The
following is the main list of what we call resource
packages. They need to be available in the system in a known place. Most of them contain programs
from third parties that were ported over to Syllable. Many
of them are programs that must be used in text mode on the command
prompt, or library packages that other packages need. Resource packages
released by the Syllable project are compressed with the Zip program and should be
installed in a fixed place: in the /usr/ directory (packages from others may be packed differently). You can do this
from the command prompt console by typing the
following
commands.
First download the package in a working directory. If you didn't put the package in your home directory, but for
example in the desktop folder, you should go there:
cd Desktop
Now install the package, using
its file name:
unzip
name-version.resource -d /usr
To make the package
known to the system, you have to register it with the package command (you only have to give the
package name here, not the version):
package register name
Some packages are
released as part of larger collection packs. You will find the
individual packages and a README file with instructions inside.
There
is more
software available that is not listed here, because no binary
installation packages have been released. With some effort, these
packages can
be built from their source code.

| GNU zip is a popular data compression program written by Jean-loup Gailly for the GNU project. Mark Adler wrote the decompression part. We developed this program as a replacement for compress because of the Unisys and IBM patents covering the LZW algorithm used by compress. These patents made it impossible for us to use compress, and we needed a replacement. The superior compression ratio of gzip is just a bonus. | | Included in Syllable Server |
| IPTables is the userspace command line program used to configure the Linux 2.4.x and 2.6.x IPv4 packet filtering ruleset. It is targeted towards system administrators. Since Network Address Translation is also configured from the packet filter ruleset, iptables is used for this, too. The iptables package also includes ip6tables. ip6tables is used for configuring the IPv6 packet filter. | | Included in Syllable Server |
| QEMU Accelerator (KQEMU) is a driver allowing the QEMU PC emulator to run much faster when emulating a PC on an x86 host. KQEMU is supported on x86 or x86_64 Linux 2.4 or 2.6 hosts. | | Included in Syllable Server |
| Ogg is a multimedia container format, and the native file and stream format for the Xiph.org multimedia codecs. As with all Xiph.org technology it is an open format free for anyone to use.As with most container formats it encapsulates raw compressed data and allows the interleaving of audio and video data inside a single convenient format. Other examples of container formats are Quicktime .mov, the MPEG program stream, and AVI.Ogg is a stream oriented container, meaning it can be written and read in one pass, making it a natural fit for internet streaming and use in processing pipelines. This stream orientation is the major design difference over other file-based container formats. | | Included in Syllable Server |
| GNU libTool is a generic library support script. LibTool hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent, portable interface. | | Included in Developer's Delight |
| Linux is a clone of the Unix kernel, written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net. It aims towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliance. It has all the features you would expect in a modern fully-fledged Unix kernel, including true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory management, and TCP/IP networking. | | Included in Syllable Server |
| GNU Midnight Commander is a file manager for free operating systems. Being a text mode application, GNU Midnight Commander can be used locally or remotely, on the console or under a windowing system. By using full screen space of the terminals, it provides an intuitive user interface to the operating system, aiming to be a useful tool for users with any level of experience, from a newbie to a guru. | | Included in Syllable Server |
| MSNTP can be used as a SNTP client to query a NTP or SNTP server and either display the time or set the local system's time (given suitable privilege). It can be run as an interactive command, in a cron job or as a daemon. It can be run as a daemon to provide a SNTP server for other clients. | | Included in Syllable Server |
| Finally a networked multiplayer game in the vein of the puzzle classic Bust a Move/Puzzle Bobble! Beat your friends in this addictive game, or play against a random opponent! Remember to sign up to participate in the score system. | | Included in Syllable Server |
| Pkg-config is a helper tool used when compiling applications and libraries. It helps you insert the correct compiler options on the command line so an application can use gcc -o test test.c `pkg-config --libs --cflags glib-2.0` for instance, rather than hard-coding values on where to find glib (or other libraries). It is language-agnostic, so it can be used for defining the location of documentation tools, for instance. | | pkg-config-0.22-1.Linux.i486.resource |
| QEMU is a generic machine emulator and virtualiser. When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes and programs made for one machine on a different machine. By using dynamic translation, it achieves very good performance. When used as a virtualiser, QEMU achieves near native performance by executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. A host driver called the QEMU accelerator (also known as KQEMU) is needed in this case. | | qemu-0.9.1-1.Linux.i486.resource |
| S-Lang is a multi-platform programmer's library designed to allow a developer to create robust multi-platform software. It provides facilities required by interactive applications such as display/screen management, keyboard input, keymaps, and so on. The most exciting feature of the library is the slang interpreter that may be easily embedded into a program to make it extensible. While the emphasis has always been on the embedded nature of the interpreter, it may also be used in a stand-alone fashion through the use of slsh, which is part of the S-Lang distribution. | | Included in Syllable Server |
| SANE stands for "Scanner Access Now Easy" and is an application programming interface (API) that provides standardized access to any raster image scanner hardware (flatbed scanner, hand-held scanner, video- and still-cameras, frame-grabbers, etc.). | | Included in Syllable Server |
| This is a sample library which allows you to use TrueType fonts in your SDL applications. It comes with an example program "showfont" which displays an example string for a given TrueType font file. | | Included in Syllable Server |
| The Tar program provides the ability to create tar archives, as well as various other kinds of manipulation. For example, you can use Tar on previously created archives to extract files, to store additional files, or to update or list files which were already stored.Initially, tar archives were used to store files conveniently on magnetic tape. The name "Tar" comes from this use; it stands for tape archiver. Despite the utility's name, Tar can direct its output to available devices, files, or other programs (using pipes), it can even access remote devices or files (as archives). | | Included in Syllable Server |
| This is the GNU termcap library -- a library of C functions that enable programs to send control strings to terminals in a way independent of the terminal type. The GNU termcap library does not place an arbitrary limit on the size of termcap entries, unlike most other termcap libraries. However, the current version contains some entries that are more than 1023 bytes long, which is the largest value that is safe to use with the many historical applications that only allocate a 1024 byte termcap buffer (telnet, for example). Use of termcap is discouraged. Termcap is being phased out in favor of the terminfo-based ncurses library, which contains an emulation of the termcap library routines in addition to an excellent curses implementation. | | termcap-1.3.1-1.Linux.i486.resource |
| UDev allows Linux users to have a dynamic /dev directory and it provides the ability to have persistent device names. | | Included in Syllable Server |
| UnZip is an extraction utility for archives compressed in .zip format (also called "zipfiles"). Although highly compatible both with PKWARE's PKZIP and PKUNZIP utilities for MS-DOS and with Info-ZIP's own Zip program, the primary objectives have been portability and non-MSDOS functionality. | | Included in Syllable Server |
| The Wireless Extension (WE) is a generic API allowing a driver to expose to the user space configuration and statistics specific to common Wireless LANs. The beauty of it is that a single set of tool can support all the variations of Wireless LANs, regardless of their type (as long as the driver support Wireless Extension). Another advantage is these parameters may be changed on the fly without restarting the driver (or Linux).The Wireless Tools (WT) is a set of tools allowing to manipulate the Wireless Extensions. They use a textual interface and are rather crude, but aim to support the full Wireless Extension. There are many other tools you can use with Wireless Extensions, however Wireless Tools is the reference implementation. | | Included in Syllable Server |
| Zip is a compression and file packaging/archive utility. Although highly compatible both with PKWARE's PKZIP and PKUNZIP utilities for MS-DOS and with Info-ZIP's own UnZip, the primary objectives have been portability and other-than-MSDOS functionality. | | Included in Syllable Server |
