BiblioteQ v2015.10.16 README not suitable for installation / *.ico defect

[ak120]

I was following the "preferred" RPM installation path outlined in accompanying README.OS2. But it's not working at all. I cannot see any reason to run "yum install libssp" two times (see lines 62 and 78). In result GTLS28.DLL is not found.

There should be also warning about opening the folder with program files inside Workplace Shell. That will freeze because of wrong EAs and Windows ICO file. I don't know about an extension for Workplace Shell to use and display Windows icons.

Hello

Thankz for letting me know, i remove the line 78

If you download package like in readme says:

1. Download gtls28 from f.i. ​http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/dev/unix/gnutls-3.3.9.zip

Inside you find the GTLS28.DLL

Also i updated the package.

I include a new ico for os2

Thanks, but it doesn't cure. ICO file is still too big about 80KB, should be around 5KB normally. Even extracting without ico it's not possible to open program folder inside WPS unless it's freezing the desktop.

It seems this trac is also eating my follow-on-post. So there is still an inaccuracy, now in line 118 of readme.os2. libgcrypt-1.6.2.zip should be 1.6.3

I updated the 7z file, also make a new ico hope it don't freeze the wps ..

I can confirm that workplace shell no longer freezes with updated files. But the new ico has some issues with transparency. After a short examination I can see it uses a wrong colour mapping. It may look fine inside iconedit.exe but not at desktop. I will attach a fixed file for your OS/2 1.2 ico, and a revised one based on OS/2 2.0 compressed format both for 24-bit colour depth. But keep in mind they will only be displayed correctly at 24- or 32-bit screens, how about users with only 16-bit colour depth or lower? It's more a general question.

Btw. the whole subdirectory "Icons" should be removed from the package, it's only required for development purposes and doesn't belong to run-time.
