Hi,
here is a .pet (***) for developer Steffen Gutmann's BeeBase-1.0, a rather simple-to-use(*) tiny database (**) compiled on FossaPup64-9.5.

That pet has the translated .html pages in it: just press F1 (or Menu/Help/cContent), as also pdf manuals (see inside the usr/share/BeeBase/* directory).
Last edited: F1/Help ISSUE: if an error message pops-up upon pressing key F1/or Menu/Help/Content, just add «xdg-open %f» in file /root/.BeeBase.prefs (see code hereafter) as also in Menu/Preferences/External Viewer.
Code: Select all
ProjectName: "/usr/share/BeeBase/demos/Pictures.bbs"

(I had to fix that issue that way on a FossaPup64-9.5 pristine frugal install - was not the case on the pupsave file used for the compilation ..??? any understanding explanation would be much appreciated .. )
The from-the-homepage-among-others-available (****) beebase_1.0_amd64.deb archive only runs the english locale although the french fr_BE locale setting...do not know why...? - and although the french "BeeBase_fr.qm" locale is well present in the .deb archive among others.
Its /usr/bin/Beebase binary also runs OOTB using only Qt5 libs all present in FossaPup64-9.5 .
With the only hope getting the french locale working (my wife reads only french! ), I got a try compiling the source file.

Compile:
It compiled on FossaPup64-9.5 using only the gtk3 graphic toolkit (no "configure" step, only "make"; have had to install some missing deps (***)... then once done (ignoring the "could not generate a pdf help file" last error - the "make install DESTDIR=..." did not work -) picked-up the binary BeeBase under the build directory, as also the compiled beebase.mo locales, and bring them into the previously extracted and renamed beebase_1.0_amd64.deb file (adding /usr/share/locale dir, etc...).
The compile process did not call for the Qt5 libs.
The pet has in it the libhpdf-2.3.0_2.3.0+dfsg-1build1_amd64 missing lib in ordrer to run OOTB on FossaPup64-9.5.
It looks runnning flawless making some tables including pictures (i.e. flowers database populated according to name/colour/height/picture...). Enter the picture/image full filename inside the «picture» tables (=database) field (example: /mnt/sda5/pictures/005-rose.png).
Description: Relational programmable database with graphical user interface
BeeBase is a fast and flexible database for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Amiga. It is targeted for advanced desktop users who want to manage data in a comfortable and powerful way. BeeBase is able to manage any kind of data, e.g. addresses, CD series, movies, photo collections, your family tree, your income and expense, and much more. The power of BeeBase lies in its clear and powerful graphical user interface and its programming capabilities. Programming BeeBase allows you to process data in various ways, e.g. automatic calculations upon user input, generation of reports, import and export of data, and more. For example it can be used for calculating the total amount of income, or the total amount of recorded time on a CD, or to automatically create and print serial letters to your customers.
Architecture: amd64

(****) According to its developper, the MUIBase program is identical to BeeBase (MUIBase already has been mentionned in the (old)Puppy forum: https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtop ... de#p796858).
(***)...given as it is without after sales servicing ...
(**)To remenber: tiny databases from forum member gposil's ppdb tiny database as also Portabase (still available as Android apk but for android OS earlier than version 8.0 !! ).
(*) although it requires some basic knowledges about booleans and logics operators for defining filters; the help files and demos brings some usefull assistance to use the databse.
Have fun, thanks in advance for any improvement (***).
Best regards, Charlie
