POV-Ray users?
by Jon A. Cruz 14 Oct '04

14 Oct '04

If there are any POV-Ray users kicking around out there, could you drop me a mail directly and let me know? I've seen a few of you lurking around out there (especially given the new POV-Ray export), and was looking for any guinepigs for a little util I'm working on. Thanks.

Other gcc 3.4 complaints
by Jon A. Cruz 14 Oct '04

14 Oct '04

here are a few complaints gcc in FC3 had. Anyone who's familiar with the secionts want to go ahead and fix them. I'd do it, but I'm not quite sure of the "proper" fix. :-) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- display/canvas-arena.cpp: In function `void sp_canvas_arena_class_init(SPCanvasArenaClass*)': display/canvas-arena.cpp:91: warning: invalid access to non-static data member `SPCanvasArenaClass::arena_event' of NULL object display/canvas-arena.cpp:91: warning: (perhaps the `offsetof' macro was used incorrectly) signals[ARENA_EVENT] = gtk_signal_new ("arena_event", GTK_RUN_LAST, GTK_CLASS_TYPE(object_class), ** GTK_SIGNAL_OFFSET (SPCanvasArenaClass, arena_event),** sp_marshal_INT__POINTER_POINTER, GTK_TYPE_INT, 2, GTK_TYPE_POINTER, GTK_TYPE_POINTER); ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- display/curve.cpp: In function `void sp_curve_stretch_endpoints(SPCurve*, const NR::Point&, const NR::Point&)': display/curve.cpp:1030: warning: 'seg_len' might be used uninitialized in this function NR::Point prev(curve->bpath->c(3)); for (gint i = 1; i < curve->end; ++i) { NArtBpath &p = curve->bpath[i]; double seg_len; (This is a point that shows why I prefer to always use default values. Of course, I'm not sure what it should be here) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- libnr/nr-object.cpp: In function `NRType nr_object_register_type(NRType, const gchar*, unsigned int, unsigned int, void (*)(NRObjectClass*), void (*)(NRObject*))': libnr/nr-object.cpp:74: warning: unused variable 'klass' NRType nr_object_register_type(NRType parent, gchar const *name, unsigned int csize, unsigned int isize, void (* cinit) (NRObjectClass *), void (* iinit) (NRObject *)) { NRObjectClass *klass; -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

util/list.h breakage
by MenTaLguY 14 Oct '04

14 Oct '04

As I've been using g++ 3.3, it looks like I missed some things that wouldn't fly under 3.4 in my last commit. It should be fairly straightforward to fix, but I need someone with 3.4 to validate my changes. [ A complete listing of the errors would be helpful for me, too. I noticed one error mentioned in the Jabber chat logs, but that looked like it was likely one of the later errors. Usually only the earliest errors are going to contain useful information (and they're often the root causes). ] For a first shot at a fix, I'm going to try reworking the following pattern: template <typename T> class Foo : public Foo<T const> {}; template <typename T> class Foo<T const> {}; like so: template <typename T> class Foo; template <typename T> class Foo<T const> {}; template <typename T> class Foo : public Foo<T const> {}; So things get used more strictly in order of definition. There are most likely other issues, but we'll start with that one. -mental

I tried this on a friend's machine last night, and I got the break, but not the Gtk-Critical warning. Oh well. I will look around. Bob

building on win32
by john cliff 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

Hello all, Just curious as to if theres anyone out there building inkscape natively on windows at the minute, as my mingw setup still doesnt want to play nice with the current CVS. I've tried various things, but to be honest dont really know what i'm doing when it comes to makefiles and so was curious if any one out there has it working, what you did to get it working? At the minute i get a bunch of messages about undefined refererences to '__gxx_personality_v0' and to `_Unwind_Resume' any info on mingw version, makefile changes, or anything else you did would be appreciated, as I'd really like to be coding, but have got to the stage where I'm fed up with watching it fall over in the linking, Cheers John (aka simarilius)

Re: baseline grid
by David Christian Berg 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

Sorry to break the thread but since my system time was set to April 6. 2000 after getting back my Laptop, I found it kinda annoying to scroll all the way down in evolution to this thread. Anyways, I don't have a 64-bit system, and it's not all that bad, it's just that I found releases before to be a little more stable. I'll have a look at 0.40 since it's worth the bug reporting. About the baseline grid: I'm not sure, if paragraph text (text in a shape) is already introduced, but if it isn't it's on the todo list and it won't be long from now. Now inkscape should have a seperate so called baseline grid, which usually would be something like horizontal guides only. Now when turning on the "snap to baseline" (or something alike) option for a text (not sure if just paragraph text) the lines of the text automatically snap to the baseline. This means that the height of the lines is not determined by any setting or by the font size but mainly by the baseline grid. If the baselines are closer than the set line height, the text will always skip one (or more) baseline to snap to. http://www.macworld.com/2000/01/publications/macworld/images/content/snap-t… http://www.macworld.com/2000/01/publications/macworld/images/content/snap-t… http://www.creativepro.com/img/story/121703_fg1.gif This is still some way to go, but it is so useful for prepress graphics design, that I already mention it now. I'll file an RFE once you understand what I'm talking about :)

crash in hmm dunno
by David Christian Berg 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

I have the latest debian package, but dunno what that is... can't you put something in the about dialog, so that I know... I never remember this terminal stuff. Anyways, I get a crash when I try to copy a text with a gradient fill. That is strange on the one hand and annoying on the other. I hope it's an easy to fix or fixed already. David

Several tweaks on the File dialogs
by Bob Jamison 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

I committed a few changes to the file dialogs, hopefully making them a bit easier to use. By cheating and getting pointers to previously-private items on the dialogs, we can modify its behaviour slightly. Now we have a callback on the SaveAs text field, and the browse list is automatically expanded. Also, I think that the initial file listing, which did not list the filtered types the first time, works OK now. What I would like people to try for me, is L10N stuff, and whether it works better now with non-ASCII filenames. Bob
