#12 Current wxPython version support?

[Daniel Holmstrom]

Hi! Would it be super annoying to make dpg4x play nice with newer versions of wxPython and whatever else might be preventing it from running on the current LTS Ubuntu (20.04)? I believe it is looking for versions 2.8 or 2.9. Ubuntu's current package is 3.0, and I think 4.0 is also avilable? Correct me if I'm wrong.. Thanks.

Hi, glad some people still download and maybe use this. My kids have gone from Nintendo DS:s to phones/tablets. I don't have old OS:es to run this either (except for the windows packaging) and I'm not sure I've got any Nintendo DS any longer...

But I've moved the repo to git today and hope I get some more time to revisit this and get it to run on my Fedora 32 (Python 3 migration , vxPython, and most likely adapting to new mplayer releases and rework the Windows installer packaging).

[Daniel Holmstrom]

Wow - that's quite the update! I will test it for you when you get to that point.

[Tomas Aronsson]

Thanks, I've uploaded a very first rpm version that can be installed in a clean Fedora32 with rpmfusion enabled, see https://sourceforge.net/projects/dpg4x/files/pre-releases/. Not worth testing yet, but most UI features work and some DPG files are produced. More to test (GOPs, translations, win packaging...). I'll try to create an Ubuntu packaging too.

[Tomas Aronsson]

Work still ongoing. I've created some preliminary deb packages and managed run the checkout https://sourceforge.net/p/dpg4x/master/ci/migration_fedora32/tree/ on Ubuntu 20.04. Need to spend more time on the windows packaging.

Nice work. Tried firing it up on Ubuntu Mate 20.04 minimal install. Apologies if I am missing something obvious - I'm no developer, that's for sure. Let me know what I missed or what you'd like me to try.

Was able to install all of the dependencies (I think) and build/install deb package. Running the program from the Mate menu, nothing happens. Running script:
b7630/dpg4x$ dpg4x
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/dpg4x/Dpg4x.py", line 36, in <module>
import dpg4x.Globals as Globals
ImportError: No module named dpg4x.Globals</module>

Sorry for messing up the Linux start script. It seemed better and more Python 3 compliant to move all py files into a package when creating the windows exe file... Please do a 'git pull' and use the wrapper script "run_dpg4x" or run "python dpg4x_main.py" to start the program.

I'll fix the fedora rpm/ubuntu deb packages when I've got the Windows installer to run better.

Runs just swell! Haven't run video on actual hardware, but software seems to be 100% functional.

I released 3.0 today. It includes a .deb package wich works on my virtual Ubuntu 20.04.
