Hello World! Mint Pepper Plugin

September 26th, 2005

After studying Mint internals and reading Marc Garretts How To Write a Pepper Plug-in for Mint I wrote a simple Hello World Pepper Plugin For Mint (also available as tarball and ascii).

First version simply output the phrase “Hello World” in two different languages. This sample pepper can be used as a skeleton for writing Mint plugins.

A quick hack for people using Mint in their public_html directory. Atleast version 1.1 adds ~username to path where it searches for pepper plugins and gets all confused. An ugly workaround is to create a symlink of ~username into your public_html which points back to your public_html. For example

>pwd
/export/home/tuupola/public_html
>ln -s /export/home/tuupola/public_html '~tuupola'

After doing the symlink Mint locates the pepper directory. Later when Mint gets fixed and you want to remove the symlink MAKE SURE YOU DON’T ACCIDENTALY REMOVE YOUR HOME DIRECTORY!

You have been warned.
