Yet another site ???

One of the most silly things I know of is signing up for a new site or service you don't need. It may seem the case the case with me and this one, but don't desperate... yet: I may give it some use soon. Not until after christmas, though. Christmas is one huge interference in computer work in general and online activities in particular :-)

Flickr Uploadr on Ubuntu ???

Well, yes, only you have to built it yourself, downloading the source from Flickr and this patch that nascent sent me some time ago. I'll add some more instructions a bit later. Ok, these are Matt's (nascent) instructions:

Install all the deps in the readme then apply this patch. You'll also need to download the xulrunner SDK. I put mine in /opt/xulrunner Then do: 

cd MacUploadr.app/Contents/Resources/
ln -s /opt/xulrunner/sdk/ gecko-sdk.linux
cd components/
make linux gm
make linux key
make linux clh
cd ..
/opt/xulrunner/sdk/bin/regxpcom .
cp /opt/xulrunner/sdk/bin/xulrunner-stub uploadr
./uploadr
That should do it!

Nice, hu? I've tested it in an Ubuntu 6.06 install and it worked like a charm. Of course, my boxen are all more or less ready for software development, so YMMV :-)

Have fun!
