That's not a skin for free42, it's for an HP calculator emulator called Nonpareil.

Unfortunately, the HP-11C and other Voyager series HP calculators were removed from the current version 0.79 of Nonpareil. Fortunately, the old 0.78 version that includes the 11C, 12C, 15C and 16C is still available in many FreeBSD ports repos: http://www.filewatcher.com/m/nonpare...11842.0.0.html

There was a thread a while back on how to compile the nonpareil-0.78 source code, but the instructions are a bit out of date. Here's how you can compile it for F17:

1. Make sure you have the following packages installed:
   gcc, flex, bison, python, scons, zlib-devel, netpbm-progs, libxml2-devel, SDL-devel, pixman-devel, gtk2-devel, cairo-devel, gdk-pixbuf2-devel, pango-devel, glib2-devel, freetype-devel, libpng-devel
2. Download the nonpareil-0.78 source code: ftp://ftp.eenet.ee/pub/FreeBSD/distf...il-0.78.tar.gz
3. tar xzvf nonpareil-0.78.tar.gz
4. cd nonpareil-0.78
5. Add this line near the top of the file src/printer.c:
   

   #include <zlib.h>

   Without that line you'll get a compile error saying "'Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION' undeclared". I added the line right below "#include <png.h>".
6. scons
7. scons install

That will put the nonpareil binary in /usr/local/bin, and it will put the individual calculator files in /usr/local/lib/nonpareil. Then run nonpareil and choose the calculator model you want.
