[Hexmap-user] Updated perl demo

[<rst...@w-...>]

Here's an updated version of the demo code for the perl bindings. This takes into
account one change in the perl version of the API. It also has the images
directly in the code. I've also attached a utility script for converting
xpm images to perl structures.

The perl module API can now be regarded as stable. It basically mimics the
C API, with a few exceptions, so you should be able to mostly follow the
C documentation. The major exception is HexList, which is a linked list
in C, but is represented in the perl modules as a tied hash (keyed on
depth).

If you have any questions, or bug reports, or whatever, please let me know.

[Hexmap-user] perl bindings in CVS

[<rst...@w-...>]

The perl bindings are now in CVS, for both the base library and the gtk display
implementation. I've attached a perl version of the standard demo program to
this mail. You'll need the xpms that are in the tarball with the C versions of
the demo, but this otherwise works with what's in CVS as-is. The perl bindings
need more polish, but what's been committed at this point should be enough for
people to fool around with.

Just to let you know I haven't forgotten this...

I've now figured out how the code autogeneration in gtk2-perl works,
and I'm about 80% through the easy 80-90% of the wrapper. I hope to
get the perl wrapper at least nominally complete and into CVS soon.

so told me the gtk2-perl guys, alas this doesn't and by far looks as
simple as both parties seem to imply this :D at least to me :D

i am using
http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/doc/binding_howto.pod.html as a
base to try the adaptation...

hmm that was the one i tryed, nevertheless, i tryed that pkg-config
command alone and found myself the solution:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=3D$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:~/test/hexmap-0.3.1 make=20
solved the problem, seems the make install of the hexmap stuff didn't
update the search paths on my machine....

ok :D at least the test case works now :D

>=20
> http://hexmap.sourceforge.net/hex_test.tar.gz
had that one, but it comes without readme etc :D so i copyed over the .c
into the hexmap distro as it didn't work there, was too stupid to take
a closer look to the compiler call :D

> This file also has a makefile, to make building the sample code easier.
my problem would have been pointed out fast if you add the line=20
@RETURN=3D`pkg-config hexmap-gtk --cflags --libs`
before=20
gcc -O2 -g -Wall test-gtk.c etc...
cause this makes the make-call fail on the error of pkg-config, just an
idea

[Hexmap-user] problems with the test program...

[<bb...@bb...>]

Hello!

i am on the process of writing a game related utility and stumbled in aw
over your project: its exactly what i need...

only: i am programming in perl, there don't seem to be some perl
bindings lying around, so it seems that my little person will need to
dive into this....

only... the last time i touched C was uhm.... 20 years ago....
now i tryed to validate the build by compiling and trying the test case,
    but....:

[Hexmap-user] FASD project: Online survey launched

[Benno L. <ben...@id...>]

Dear Open Source developer

I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I
kindly invite you to participate.
You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The
questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to
complete it.

With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the
motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage
in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that
a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms.
This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved
individuals and the conditions of production of these two development
models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of
Open Source Development.


With many thanks for your participation,
Benno Luthiger


PS:
The results of the survey will be published under
http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/.
We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please
see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_de.html for registration to this
mailing list.

	The version 0.3.0 tarball has just been uploaded to the mirrors.
Now featuring both Gtk+ and SDL backends.

[Hexmap-user] SDL backend in CVS

[<rst...@w-...>]

	The new CVS update provides support for multiple backends,
with implementations for gtk+-2.0 (previously supported) and
SDL-1.2. There's still something wrong with alpha channel
support in the SDL backend, and the documentation needs work,
but otherwise it's fully functional. Once these issues
are resolved, I'll roll a 0.3 tarball.

Ron Steinke

[Hexmap-user] version 0.2.2 is out

[<rst...@w-...>]

	Okay, 0.2.2 is finally out. This fixes the bug Jeff reported, along
with a few other things. The versions of the test code and documentation on
the website have also been updated.

Instead of removing a character, change the first line in the declaration to

const gchar map[33][50] = {

which allows space for the terminating '\0'. Apparently gcc is more forgiving
of excess data than your compiler (I was even compiling with -Wall and it says
nothing), and since the code doesn't use the fact that the strings are null
terminated, it worked fine.

Just do:

   g_signal_connect_data(*walker, "moved", (GCallback) walker_moved,
     disp, NULL, (GConnectFlags) 0);

It's just a cast from an int to an enum (which holds a set of bitflags).

Sounds like you're compiling this in C++ mode, which tends to be stricter
than C about typecasts. Let me know of any other warnings you get, I'll clean
them up.

[Hexmap-user] Problems with test.c compile

[Jeff B. <cor...@ho...>]

Thanks for the quick response!

I hope you can help me with a problem I've run into with test.c
(CPPPFLAGS=glib gtk atk & pango includes)

[jbulley@coreolyn hex_test]# g++ -g -Wall $CPPFLAGS test.c -o test
test.c: In function `GtkWidget *setup_test_hex_display (HexWalker **)':
test.c:116: initializer-string for array of chars is too long
..... (repeats for each string line)
test.c:220: cannot convert `int' to `GConnectFlags' for argument `6' to
`g_signal_connect_data (void *, const gchar *, void (*) (), void *,
void (*) (void *, GClosure *), GConnectFlags)'

I was able to eliminate the problem with 116 by removing one character from 
each string, however I have no clue what to do with line 220, and was 
wondering if there is an easy fix.

Line 220:

  g_signal_connect_data(*walker, "moved", (GCallback) walker_moved,
    disp, NULL, 0);

I'm more of a Java & Perl person than c/c++ but I can work most problems 
out, but I haven't worked with gtk+ till now.  Of the gtk books out there 
are there any that stand out in your opinion?

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

Thanks for the interest. The most difficult part of using hexmap is probably
that it uses the devel version of gtk+. They're in feature freeze, though,
so hopefully they'll go to 2.0 shortly.

If you have any comments about the library, or feature requests, I'd
be happy to hear them.

[Hexmap-user] Ack!

[Jeff B. <cor...@ho...>]

Naturally after posting this I saw right on the home page where the test 
code is.

My bad :)

[Hexmap-user] hexmap - sample executable?

[Jeff B. <cor...@ho...>]

Hello,

I downloaded and compiled (after much wailing and gnashing of teeth) hexmap. 
  All the problems stemmed from the need to update libraries on to a fresh 
build of Mandrake 8.0.  Anyway I've finally achieved a successful build.  I 
noticed that the homepage http://hexmap.sourceforge.net/ has a hextest.gif. 
Is the source available to the program that generated it? Am not seeing it 
in the generated code?

My interest in hexmap is that it may assist me in my endevour to Web Base my 
old Avalon Hill bookshelf games.

Thanks for making your source available,

Jeff Bulley
aka: Coreolyn
