If you are looking for resource packages for Syllable Server, go
here.
Binary software packages for Syllable Desktop do not run on Syllable
Server, 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 by opening the ATerm application and 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 on the desktop, 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.
| p7zip is a quick port of 7z.exe and 7za.exe (command line version of 7zip) for Unix. 7-Zip is a file archiver with highest compression ratio. | | Included in Syllable Desktop |
| Anti-Grain Geometry (AGG) is an Open Source, free of charge graphic library, written in industrially standard C++. AGG doesn't depend on any graphic API or technology. Basically, you can think of AGG as of a rendering engine that produces pixel images in memory from some vectorial data. | | agg-2.5-1.i586.resource |
| The mission of the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) project is to create and maintain software libraries that provide a predictable and consistent interface to underlying platform-specific implementations. | | apr-1.2.8-1.i586.resource |

| Autoconf is an extensible package of M4 macros that produce shell scripts to automatically configure software source code packages. These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of UNIX-like systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf creates a configuration script for a package from a template file that lists the operating system features that the package can use, in the form of M4 macro calls. | | Included in Perl Pit |
| Automake is a tool for automatically generating `Makefile.in' files compliant with the GNU Coding Standards. Automake requires the use of Autoconf. | | automake-1.10.1-1.resource |
| Boa is a single-tasking HTTP server. That means that unlike traditional web servers, it does not fork for each incoming connection, nor does it fork many copies of itself to handle multiple connections. It internally multiplexes all of the ongoing HTTP connections, and forks only for CGI programs (which must be separate processes), automatic directory generation, and automatic file gunzipping. Preliminary tests show Boa is capable of handling several thousand hits per second on a 300 MHz Pentium and dozens of hits per second on a lowly 20 MHz 386/SX.The primary design goals of Boa are speed and security. Security, in the sense of "can't be subverted by a malicious user," not "fine grained access control and encrypted communications". Boa is not intended as a feature-packed server. | | boa-0.94.14rc21-1.i586.resource |
| Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.The emphasis is on libraries that work well with the C++ Standard Library. Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a broad spectrum of applications. The Boost license encourages both commercial and non-commercial use.We aim to establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. Ten Boost libraries are already included in the C++ Standards Committee's Library Technical Report (TR1) as a step toward becoming part of a future C++ Standard. More Boost libraries are proposed for the upcoming TR2. | | boost-1.35.0-1.i586.resource |

| DOSBox is a DOS-emulator that uses the SDL-library. DOSBox emulates an Intel x86 PC, complete with sound, graphics, mouse, modem, etc., necessary for running many old DOS games that simply cannot be run on modern PCs and operating systems. You can "re-live" the good old days with the help of DOSBox, it can run plenty of the old classics that don't run on your new computer! | | dosbox-0.71-1.i586.resource |
| E-UAE is an Amiga emulator, a program that allows you to run software designed for Amiga computers on other platforms, such as Linux or Mac OS. It is based on UAE, the original Ubiquitous Amiga Emulator, and WinUAE, the Windows version of UAE. While it owes a huge debt to these two great projects, E-UAE diverges from both, aiming to improve performance and features on a variety of host platforms. | | e-uae-0.8.29wip4-1.i586.resource |
| ed is the standard text editor on the Unix operating system originally written by Ken Thompson and contains one of the first implementations of regular expressions.GNU ed is a line-oriented text editor. It is used to create, display, modify and otherwise manipulate text files, both interactively and via shell scripts. A restricted version of ed, red, can only edit files in the current directory and cannot execute shell commands. Ed is the "standard" text editor in the sense that it is the original editor for Unix, and thus widely available. For most purposes, however, it is superseded by full-screen editors. | | ed-0.9-1.i586.resource |
| FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, an audio format similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality. This is similar to how Zip works, except with FLAC you will get much better compression because it is designed specifically for audio, and you can play back compressed FLAC files in your favorite player (or your car or home stereo, see supported devices) just like you would an MP3 file.FLAC stands out as the fastest and most widely supported lossless audio codec, and the only one that at once is non-proprietary, is unencumbered by patents, has an open-source reference implementation, has a well documented format and API, and has several other independent implementations. | | flac-1.2.1-1.i586.resource |

These tools include a set of conventions about how programs should be written to support message catalogs, a directory and file naming organization for the message catalogs themselves, a runtime library supporting the retrieval of translated messages, and a few stand-alone programs to massage in various ways the sets of translatable strings, or already translated strings. | | gettext-0.17-1.i586.resource |
| Provides data structure handling for C, portability wrappers and interfaces for such runtime functionality as an event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an object system. | | glib-2.14.4-1.i586.resource |
| The awk utility interprets a special-purpose programming language that makes it possible to handle simple data-reformatting jobs with just a few lines of code.If you are like many computer users, you would frequently like to make changes in various text files wherever certain patterns appear, or extract data from parts of certain lines while discarding the rest. To write a program to do this in a language such as C or Pascal is a time-consuming inconvenience that may take many lines of code. The job is easy with awk, especially the GNU implementation: gawk. | | gawk-3.1.6-1.i586.resource |
| GnuPG is the GNU project's complete and free implementation of the OpenPGP standard as defined by RFC4880.

GnuPG, also known as GPG, is a command line tool with features for easy integration with other applications. A wealth of frontend applications and libraries are available. | | gnupg-1.4.9-1.i586.resource |
| GNU GPerf is a perfect hash function generator. For a given list of strings, it produces a hash function and hash table, in form of C or C++ code, for looking up a value depending on the input string. The hash function is perfect, which means that the hash table has no collisions, and the hash table lookup needs a single string comparison only. | | gperf-3.0.2-1.i586.resource |
| 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 Desktop |
| ICU is a mature, widely used set of portable C/C++ and Java libraries for Unicode support, software internationalization and globalization (i18n/g11n). | | icu-3.6-2.i586.resource |

All this functionality is provided through a simple API which provides the DVD playback as a single logical stream of blocks, intermitted by special dvdnav events to report certain conditions. The main usage of libdvdnav is a loop regularly calling a function to get the next block, surrounded by additional calls to tell the library of user interaction. The whole DVD virtual machine and internal playback states are completely encapsulated. | | libdvdnav-4.1.2-1.i586.resource |
| Libdvdread provides a simple foundation for reading DVD video disks. It provides the functionality that is required to access many DVDs. It parses IFO files, reads NAV-blocks, and performs CSS authentication and descrambling. | | libdvdread-0.9.7-1.i586.resource |
| The libffi library provides a portable, high level programming interface to various calling conventions. This allows a programmer to call any function specified by a call interface description at run-time.FFI stands for Foreign Function Interface. A foreign function interface is the popular name for the interface that allows code written in one language to call code written in another language. The libffi library really only provides the lowest, machine dependent layer of a fully featured foreign function interface. A layer must exist above libffi that handles type conversions for values passed between the two languages. | | libffi-3.0.4-1.i586.resource |
| GD is an open source code library for the dynamic creation of images by programmers. GD creates PNG, JPEG and GIF images, among other formats. It allows your code to quickly draw images complete with lines, arcs, text, multiple colors, cut and paste from other images, and flood fills. GD is commonly used to generate charts, graphics, thumbnails, and most anything else, on the fly. While not restricted to use on the web, the most common applications of GD involve web site development.GD is written in C and various binding are available. | | libgd-2.0.35-1.i586.resource |
| LibIDL is a library for creating trees of CORBA Interface Definition Language (IDL) files, which is a specification for defining portable interfaces. LibIDL was initially written for ORBit (the ORB from the GNOME project, and the primary means of libIDL distribution). However, the functionality was designed to be as reusable and portable as possible. | | libidl-0.8.10-1.i586.resource |
| MAD is a high-quality MPEG audio decoder. It currently supports MPEG-1 and the MPEG-2 extension to lower sampling frequencies, as well as the de facto MPEG 2.5 format. All three audio layers - Layer I, Layer II, and Layer III (i.e. MP3) - are fully implemented.MAD does not yet support MPEG-2 multichannel audio (although it should be backward compatible with such streams) nor does it currently support AAC. | | libmad-0.15.1b-2.i586.resource |
| 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. | | libogg-1.1.3-1.i586.resource |
| Libsigc++ implements a typesafe callback system for standard C++. It allows you to define signals and to connect those signals to any callback function, either global or a member function, regardless of whether it is static or virtual. | | libsigcplusplus-2.0.18-1.i586.resource |
