4Pane .rpm

[Taco.22]

Just out of curiosity, how much work is involved in bringing a PCLinuxOS 2010 rpm up to date with 2011/12 and enabling it in repo?  The rpm in question is a FM called 4Pane.

Homepage is here - http://www.4pane.co.uk/
Download page is here - http://www.4pane.co.uk/Download.htm - complete with .rpm especially for PCLinuxOS.

I can't remember if it was in the repos back then, but it looks interesting, and is actively maintained.  Think MC on steroids .

Note - this is not a package request.  If it turns out too hard I won't be shedding any tears over it!  The 4Pane is just a bit of a diversion but I am interested to know how "tweakable" packages are.  Did have a go from source but at ./configure got "C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check".  Just curious.

So far, so good.  On install I got this -

   libwx_base-2.8.so.0 is needed by 4pane-0.8.0-1phinx2012.i586
   libwx_base_xml-2.8.so.0 is needed by 4pane-0.8.0-1phinx2012.i586
   libwx_gtk2_adv-2.8.so.0 is needed by 4pane-0.8.0-1phinx2012.i586
   libwx_gtk2_core-2.8.so.0 is needed by 4pane-0.8.0-1phinx2012.i586
   libwx_gtk2_html-2.8.so.0 is needed by 4pane-0.8.0-1phinx2012.i586
   libwx_gtk2_xrc-2.8.so.0 is needed by 4pane-0.8.0-1phinx2012.i586

which was solved by installing "libwxgtk2.8".  4Pane didn't appear in the applications menu so I edited the .desktop file to "FileManager;X-MandrivaLinux-System-FileTools;" as per pcmanfm and now it is visible.

Excellent - looking forward to it.
