hidonmm again

16. August 2006

Renamed the hidonmm packages to the correct names as they were filed in the wrong folder of the repositry. I wonder if there is a way to delete the old ones.

Played around a bit with a “–disable-api-atk” option for gtkmm but did not succeed because some m4 macros obviously create code in a different scope meaning it is out of the #ifdefs.

Pesc|O made a nice patch to integrate ctags 5.6 in anjuta. It’s not yet finished but it looks promising. The guys from ctags event want to open up their development so I hope we can have a better integration and maybe a libctags soon.

hildonmm

15. August 2006

The C++ support for Maemo is moving forward. Today, I have uploaded the packages for libhildon-fmmm and libhildon-widgetsmm which should allow to write complete maemo applications in C++ in theory.

Libanjutamm online

15. August 2006

You can get a copy of libanjutamm here: Libanjutamm CVS

A tarball of a sample C++ plugin which does not load because of GType issues is also availible
To use this, you need the CVS version of Anjuta and the gtkmm development packages installed. The best way, to test the plugin is to use the anjuta-shell test app in the src/ directory of anjuta CVS.

libanjutamm
Libanjutamm is slowly on the way. I have wrapped most important things excluding the interfaces and written a sample plugin which does not yet load because I have to fight more with the GType system. Anyway, I hope to finish this sample soon and write a script to automaticly wrap the interfaces. Happy C++ coding 😉

gtkmm on maemo
The gtkmm package for 386 should be up now and I am working on the armel package which should be finished soon. Next is the packaging of hildonmm which should hopefully not be too difficult.

Update: gtkmm packages for armel have been uploaded!

Debian, Anjuta, gtkmm

10. August 2006

Today, I built my first debian package. I still don’t fully understand how the whole mechanism works but at least I got good results by reusing the debian/ directory of an existing package as a starting point.

Naba made a great job and implemented a good auto-indent feature for anjuta, though the supported languages are only C, C++ and Java in the moment. Libanjuta is now a bit more wrapping friendly because I added “G_BEGIN_DECLS” and “G_END_DELCS” to all headers.

I am working on a libanjutamm. I follow the excellent instructions in the Gtkmm Documentation but I still have some problems. Anyway, I hope the nice guys at #c++ will be able to help me.

Today’s work!

Maemo

I set up a maemo environment on my ubuntu box today. It was quite easy as they provide a good documentation and an easy installation script. There are some things that do not work perfectly yet but I think they can be fixed.

Glom

Currently trying to set up glom put I have problems to connect to the database. Seems like libgda got installed without support for postgresql but I am not sure yet. Retrying with jhbuild now…

gnome-build

No volunteers for gnome-build, yet! Applied patch from Günther Brammer (thanks!) to fix a parsing bug with “+=”.

Bug #343012

7. August 2006

For my new employer Openismus, which is the first time that I get paid for anything Gnome or open-source related, I tried to fix Bug 343012 today. The patch itself was quite simple but it was a bit difficult to find out. I had no other testcase as the provided because I am not really familiar with the gtkrc system. Please try this patch out and tell me if there are any side-effects.

Going to have my last exam for this month at 3 pm…

p>While I should be learning for electrical engineering and semi-conductors I spent quite some work on improving Anjuta.Most significant is the long-standing issue that people want to be able to open more project at the same time like in Eclipse.

So I arrived to the conclusion that this is not impossible and hacked it in about 3 hours. The solution has some rough edges yet but it works.

To comment Benjamin’s last post: I am now a proud member of the Gnome Foundation!

Auto-indent in Anjuta

27. July 2006

Sorry, that I have not blogged anything in the last weeks but I am quite busy to get enough time to pass my seven exams in the summer term.

There has been some work on Anjuta, anyway. We are working to integrate a better auto-indent feature, a better symbol-browser and of course lots of bug-fixes.

Esspecially thanks to frax who created some very nice patches for anjuta and gdl to improve the general UI feeling. Also Philip van Hoof made some nice suggestions what could be improved and wrote a highly motivating mail to the ML – thanks!

We still search for a perl crack who wants to do some work on gnome-build, the library for handling the autotools system. Any volunteers?

Southside 2006

26. June 2006

Ein tolles Festival auch wenn es wahnsinnig heiß und irgendwann auch verdammt eklig war. Aber hier einfach die Bands im einzelnen:

Freitag

  • Skin
  • Kannte ich nicht, aber haben eine super Sängerin die richtig Stimmung gemacht hat.

  • Mando Diao
  • Wieder mal vom feinsten mit einer hochmotivierten Zuschauermenge die immer voll dabei war. Allerdings machte sie sich mit der Prognose pro Schweden sehr unbeliebt.

  • Adam Green
  • Leider auf der anderen Bühne, so dass ich ihn nur kurz gesehen habe. Normalerweise aber einen Besuch wert und an diesem Tag mal völlig was anderes.

  • The Hives
  • Haben mich nicht so ganz überzeugt, lag aber vielleicht daran, dass der Pogo meiner Meinung nach etwas übertrieben wurde (Wieso Stachelarmbänder beim Pogo?).

  • The Strokes
  • Der Höhepunkt am Freitag und mit Sicherheit immer wieder eine Klasse für sich. Sollte man sich nie entgehen lassen. Einfach Indi vom feinsten vor begeisterter Menge. Spätestens bei “Is this it” war das wohl auch dem letztem klar.

Samstag

  • Billy Talent
  • Ganz nett, allerdings nicht ganz mein Fall. Außerdem war der Höhepunkt des Konzerts wohl die Bewässerung der Menge per Feuerwehr.

  • Deutschland vs. Schweden 2:0
  • Lukas Podolski! Lukas Podolski! Riesige Stimmung vor der Großleinwand, die mit Sicherheit schon weltmeisterlich war! Leider habe ich dadurch The Cardigans verpasst, aber da muss man leider Prioritäten setzen.

  • Wir sind Helden
  • Ja, es ist eine Mädchenband! Na und? Für mich war es der Höhepunkt des Festivals, ich fands toll! Und wer sich dem Lächeln von Judith entziehen kann hat mich Sicherheit im Leben irgendwas falsch gemacht.

  • Muse
  • Musikalisch sind diese Jungs sicher nicht zu toppen. Natürlich keine Stimmungmaschinen wie Mando Diao aber da muss ja auch nicht sein. Sie lassen einfach Klasse sprechen und als krönenden Abschluß “Time is running out”!

Sonntag

  • Nada Surf
  • Zum Glück spielten sie so früh, auch wenn sie normalerweise einen anderen Platz verdient hätten. Super Band und toller Abschluß.

Leider mussten wir danach die Segel streichen, weil für den Montag wieder das harte Leben anstand. Nächstes Jahr wird es aber wohl wieder ein kleineres Festival geben!
