[hpoj-devel] xhpcontrol

[Joe P. <joe...@sn...>]

David:

I have some code available for an xhpcontrol app. It looks somewhat like what 
you last requested (sorry it took so long to respond), but does not yet have 
any useful abilities. It can be downloaded from my site at

http://pages.cthome.net/jsp/hpoj-linux-gui/index.html . 

There is also a patch for hpoj/configure.in that will allow the app to be 
built under hpoj/apps/ .

Some of the files / classes are just skeletons, but there is enough code to 
create a bare framework.

There are many parts of the application that need a more experienced coder 
than me. I can do the "grunt work" of adding the many needed widgets, but the 
file i/o, plugin architecture, device communication, etc. should be handled 
by someone with more experience in those areas.  There are also some areas 
involving Qt that I'm not yet familiar with. If someone wants to and 
has the ability to help with any of it, It would be fine with me.

The package probably isn't ready to be added to the hpoj module in CVS. Would 
it be a good idea to temporarily add it to the project as a separate CVS 
module? Can that be done?

I included in the tarball some documentation generated by Doxygen. It 
wouldn't necessarily be useful to keep the docs in the project, but having 
some extra documentation may help potential contributors understand the 
application a little quicker / better.

I'm not sure which versions of Qt will be necessary to build xhpcontrol. 
Versions below 2.0 won't work.  It probably would be difficult to make the 
application compatible with 1.x.x. I don't think it would be worth the 
trouble. 

I am unable to use any 2.x.x version other than 2.3.0+ on my system, so if 
someone with an early version (2.0.1 ?) installed and working can test the 
build, it would be very helpful.
