[jazzplusplus-devel] Anyone want to design dialogs?

[Patrick E. <jaz...@pa...>]

Hello Jazz people!  I've been working on a system capable of replacing 
many of the dialogs within Jazz.  It uses the XRC system and stores 
dialogs in external XML files.  I've designer a wrapper class that 
makes it pretty easy to hook the external dialogs to internal code.

There are a number of dialogs to create, and though it's not 
difficult, I'd rather focus on other tasks within the Jazz code.  So, 
I'm wondering if there's anyone out there that wants to make some 
nice looking dialogs using a GUI builder like XRCed or wxGlade.

I can create the basic outline of the dialog with the necessary code, 
but making them look nice is a different story.  Anyone want to 
volunteer to niceify the dialogs?

I haven't heard anything on the website front lately.  Is anyone 
working on this?

This is another posting going to both lists.  If you're still on the 
old one, come on over to the new one.  Subscription details are here:

Have a great day all!

I'll pass.  My Jazz timeslice is about to come up again and I intend to spend 
it on the Project class and factoring trackwin into it.  Sorry.  :(  
(normally I'm all over making pretty interfaces)

My website timeslice will be ending soon, so if you guys want me to take a 
crack it at now's the time to speak up.  :)

If I do it, there will be a basic 2-3 page layout with CVS instructions, 
download page, about the project page, credits, and news, and a wiki to stick 
the manual in.  We could use the existing wiki for the manual, though.  Mark?  
Mark?  Mark?  Hark, hark, I hear a call for Mark.

How many Bavarian Illuminati does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Three: one to screw it in, and one to confuse the issue.

Hmm.  Can't build.  :)  Says can't find -lwx_gtk_xrc or something like that.  
Mandrake doesn't appear to provide any packages with the XRC stuff, so I may 
have to go the hard route and build wxWidgets from scratch.  :(

I'm gonna go ahead and take a crack at a doxygen config file and start hacking 
away on the Project stuff, but I don't want to do any factoring until I can 
build the XRC stuff again.  Wouldn't be able to make sure it builds before 
committing.  ;)  (Well, I can add new files to the repository and when I can 
build again add them to Makefile.am and commit when it builds)

You only need to build the xrc library itself.  It's kinda separate 
from the main distribution.  For anyone who needs it, here's what you 
can do:

Grab the source... http://aleron.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/
wxwindows/wxGTK-2.4.2.tar.bz2

tar jxvf wxGTK-2.4.2.tar.bz2
cd wxGTK-2.4.2
./configure --disable-shared
cd contrib/src/xrc
make
cp ../../../lib/libwx_gtk_xrc-2.4.a YOUR_JAZZ_SRC_DIR

Let me know if you encounter problems.  We'll certainly want to make 
this library static for binary distributions.  If development issues 
prove to be tricky, we could maintain a copy of the library source in 
the CVS.

Well, hopefully you can build now. :)  Strangely enough, I'm happy to 
hear of any problems that come up.
