XIM Input

I am glad to inform you of XIM (X Input Method) support in AMSN, which means we could finally type Traditional Chinese... AMSN via XIM server, such as XCIN. Here are my instructions:

1. get Tcl/Tk tarball with i18n patched

wget http://jserv.sayya.org/tcl-i18n/tcl8.3_8.3.3-7.tar.gz
wget http://jserv.sayya.org/tcl-i18n/tk8.3_8.3.3-8.tar.gz


2. apply zh_TW locale patch

wget http://jserv.sayya.org/tcl-i18n/tcl8.3-fix-zh_TW.diff
cd tcl8.3-8.3.3
patch -p1 < ../tcl8.3-fix-zh_TW.diff


3. build Tcl with /opt prefix (It's my case only, and you can
  change it as you like)

./configure --prefix=/opt
make ; make install


4. build Tk

cd tk8.3-8.3.3
./configure --prefix=/opt
make ; make install


5. patch AMSN to adapt our own Tcl/Tk runtime (/opt/bin/wish8.3)

wget http://jserv.sayya.org/tcl-i18n/amsn-0.91-fix-path.diff
cd amsn-0.91
patch -p1 < ../amsn-0.91-fix-path.diff


 6. launch AMSN

./amsn


That's all. Now, we could use XCIN as XIM in AMSN, and everything
goes around.

Here is my screenshot of patched AMSN and Tcl/Tk:

Notice the Chinese characters rendering well.

cheers,
