After going through about a dozen different websites, I figured out that KDE has it's own flavor of autotools, Once I discovered that, it wasn't overwhelmingly difficult to re-construct the makefiles and get things working again. I now have a new version of ktechlab with the following changes: 1. several code formatting fixes... closer to what my brain is trained for, allows one to see more of the algorithm on a small monitor. 2. numerous snyde remarks (comments) added to the code either asking questions, reporting on discoveries made so far, or pointing out design issues and ideas for the next release. 3. Several minor fixes... for example the number Pi was defined at several points in the code, these were replaced with the standard library macro "M_PI". 4. Removed the version string from source files, -- is a responsibility of the build system. Changed to referance to VERSION in config.h . I have learned a great deal from the source already. Most notably, I learned that there is a community-wide issue with MDI interfaces and that the authors chose to copy code from the KATE project because the KDE libs have been slow to evolve. I'm ready to provide the sources I have now as a development snapshot. Anyone interested? -- People say DOS is not reliable, For me it is as constant as the speed of light. People say Linux is, I have yet to see it please me for an entire day. |

Most definitely! Is this the version that you started with support for SPICE, or just a cleanup of the existing ktechlab? If it is a fork, I will have an unused webserver on about the 8th of jan if you would like to host your project there. It currently has www.orbwireless.net on it, but that will be moved to it's permenent location soon.

That is the biggest thing I miss from the old QuickBasic days.... And the hardest thing for me to get my little head wrapped around when I first switched to linux 8 years ago. Now it's pretty much bash for me, cause automake has bashed my head enough. When I was on win98, I did all my electronic control from gui apps written in Vbas, now bash has sweetly and simply replaced it for me ;) You can even do some nice gui stuff with bash. OK, enough OT bashing automake! Lawrence |
