GTK file dialogs on Windows
by Bill Baxter 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

I didn't realize these new native file dialogs on Windows were going to completely replace the GTK ones. I actually find the GTK ones to be easier to use because of those handy user links you can make on the left, and because of the way incremental search works. I figured there would be something in Preferences to bring back the GTK dialog, but I couldn't find such a thing. Is it just hiding from me somewhere? --bb

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Problem compiling win32 svn-18969

Mr Sonic, :-) Try deleting build.dep, then running buildtool again. This forces it to refresh the dependency cache, scanning the source directory again. This happens automatically when you do a clean build, but of course you don't want to do that every time. A good rule is to always do this when you do an "svn up" and see any A's or D's for .cpp files. bob -----Original Message----- >From: Docsonic <docsonic@...58...> >Sent: Jun 18, 2008 10:12 AM >To: inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net >Subject: [Inkscape-devel] Problem compiling win32 svn-18969 > > >When I try to compile svn-18969 on WinXP I get an slew error at the linking >stage - > >Make error line 366: LINK problem: >build\libinkscape.a(sp-shape.o):sp-shape.cpp: >(.text+0x1e13): undefined reference to >`bounds_exact_transformed(std::vector<Geo >m::Path, std::allocator<Geom::Path> > const&, Geom::Matrix const&)' >build\libinkscape.a(effect.o):effect.cpp:(.text+0x76d): undefined reference >to ` >Inkscape::LivePathEffect::LPECopyRotate::LPECopyRotate(LivePathEffectObject*)' >build\libinkscape.a(effect.o):effect.cpp:(.text+0x7a3): undefined reference >to ` >Inkscape::LivePathEffect::LPEParallel::LPEParallel(LivePathEffectObject*)' >build\libinkscape.a(effect.o):effect.cpp:(.text+0x7bf): undefined reference >to ` >Inkscape::LivePathEffect::LPECircle3Pts::LPECircle3Pts(LivePathEffectObject*)' >build\libinkscape.a(effect.o):effect.cpp:(.text+0x7db): undefined reference >to ` >Inkscape::LivePathEffect::LPEAngleBisector::LPEAngleBisector(LivePathEffectObjec >t*)' >build\libinkscape.a(nr-arena-shape.o):nr-arena-shape.cpp:(.text+0x2ce0): >undefin >ed reference to `bounds_fast_transformed(std::vector<Geom::Path, >std::allocator< >Geom::Path> > const&, Geom::Matrix const&)' >build\libinkscape.a(nr-arena-shape.o):nr-arena-shape.cpp:(.text+0x2ebc): >undefin >ed reference to `bounds_fast_transformed(std::vector<Geom::Path, >std::allocator< >Geom::Path> > const&, Geom::Matrix const&)' >collect2: ld returned 1 exit status > >Any ideas? > >Thanks, > >Tony >-- >View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Problem-compiling-win32-svn-18969-tp17984902p17984902… >Sent from the Inkscape - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > >------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace. >It's the best place to buy or sell services for >just about anything Open Source. >http://sourceforge.net/services/buy/index.php >_______________________________________________ >Inkscape-devel mailing list >Inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net >https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-devel

Commiting "big" .h files
by Bob Jamison 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

Hi again. For the last few weeks, it seems that one of the "big" .h files has been committed almost every day. I mean files like verbs.h, document.h, effects.h, etc. I call these "big" files because they are important dependencies for a large portion of all of the source .cpp and .h files. What this means, is that people are becoming cautious of performing an "svn up" for fear that it will result in an almost complete rebuild of Inkscape each and every time. I don't know of any remedy for this (odd/even days?), since all new development and bugfixing is good. But it would help if people would at least consider the implications before they commit. bob

Temporary canvas items
by Maximilian Albert 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

Hi all, (Johan, I'm CC'ing you because you actively worked in this area a while ago) I'd like to use the temporary canvas item machinery to display some "info" related to LPEs. This info can consist of helper paths or perhaps even text (e.g., for LPEs measuring path lengths or areas). I've played a bit with it but I think I'm not using it in the correct/recommended/ easiest way, which sometimes even results in crashes. So my questions are: - How can I create a temporary canvas item to display a helper path having a given shape? - How can I display text using this mechanism? - If I want to make either the helper path or the text permanent (i.e., convert them into a non-temporary item and save them in the document), how can I achieve this? Thanks for any help, Max

Re: [Inkscape-devel] GTK file dialogs on Windows
by Bob Jamison 18 Jun '08

Hi, all, Actually, considering that the pre-existing Gtkmm dialog is not new, but is actually compiled along with the new native dialog, I would think that the possibility of using either should be simple. But making it runtime selectable rather than compile-time selectable is the issue, I think. There need not be a GUI for it, so there is no "user disconcertion" problem. (BTW, I don't look to Mr Spolsky's site for software wisdom). If it -is- a compile time switch, then it should be according to capabilities, rather than according to platform: #ifdef WIN32 <- not settable #ifdef HAVE_NATIVE_WIN32_FILECHOOSER <-- easily settable In fact, I believe that we have had a general "style" of avoiding platform-specific switches as much as possible. bob -----Original Message----- >From: Joel Holdsworth <joel@...1709...> >Sent: Jun 18, 2008 9:15 AM >To: Bill Baxter <wbaxter@...400...> >Cc: "inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net" <inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> >Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] GTK file dialogs on Windows > >Can I suggest you add shortcuts into your My Documents folder to link to >the places you want to go to.

inkscape git mirror?
by MenTaLguY 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

I'm interested in setting up a git mirror of Inkscape SVN; who's the person in charge of our server currently? We'll need to have a fairly current version of git, libsvn, and the libsvn perl bindings installed to do this. -mental

Weekly svn builds on debian sid @ http://art.sidux.com
by Bernard Gray 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

Hi folks, This is just a heads up - I've setup a debian unstable (sid) repository at http://art.sidux.com/ - currently the only package is weekly svn builds of inkscape (as well as the sidux-art-keyring gpg pkg), including i386 and amd64 arches, plus source. My interest is part inkscape, part learning how to maintain a relatively complex debian package, and I'm learning as I go - I've been keeping it up now for > 3 months so I figured it's safe to announce - The intention is to eventually include development builds of various other tools useful to the sidux art team, but for now... I'm keeping it simple :) Any/all feedback welcome - Regards, Bernie

Building unit tests on Win32
by Jasper van de Gronde 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

I uploaded a patch to the bug tracker that enables building of CxxTest unit tests on Windows. Basically it adds a target linkcxxtests that generates an executable that performs all the tests. The relevant bug is: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/208821 There are two main points I'd like some feedback on: 1. Is the way I let buildtool generate the required .cpp files using cxxtestgen (see the compile target) acceptable? 2. Does anyone have a (big) problem with compiling (not linking) the (unit) tests as part of the normal build process? I added the cxxtest files to the normal compile target because it was easier that way (I had some problem with the dependencies if I did it differently) and because it will break the build if anyone breaks a test (which people really shouldn't do). Note that I'm only talking of compile-time problems here. As it is now the tests are not linked during in the normal link target, and they are definitely not executed. Jasper van de Gronde
