[Nxtcommand-developers] Darwin

[Peter J. <ptg...@ch...>]

Darwin is the Open Sourced core distribution of OS X

It can be downloaded from http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/

Think I am going to give it a try, as soon as I find the time.

This is as close as I can get to the real thing. 

This will enable us to test ICommand on OS X, and
provide better support for this platform.

Maybe I missed some messages: what is it needed to do on Mac? My default 
platform (outside the mobile world, which requires Windows :-( ) is Mac 
OS X 10.4 on PPC platform.

Best regards,
Stefano.

Stefano,

You didn't miss anything. I just found out about some kind of
open source OS X called Darwin. I am writing some kind of
manual to help Vic: ICommand & NetBeans (for Dummmies). It
shows you step by step, with screenshots, how to setup icommand,
rxtx and use it from within NetBeans. It would be nice to have
some pictures from OS X, since Vic that the platform he is using.

I know the name of a users home directory under Windows, and
Linux, but not on OS X. That kind of "problems" I run into.

I will make some 1st version of the manual to get Vic going.

Then I will work on a definitive version. For this version
it would be nice to have some images of OS X, that are equivalent
to the images of Linux and Windows in the manual.

Peter.

[Nxtcommand-developers] change in ant build scripts

[Peter J. <ptg...@ch...>]

I have just changed the ant build scripts:
In the release distribution a dist directory will be created.
Contents:
icommand.properties (moved from root dir)
icommand.jar        (moved from root dir)
icommand-src.zip    (moved from root dir)
icommand-doc.zip    (new)

The new icommand-doc.zip contains the javadocs of icommand,
and makes it possible to lookup the icommand api quickly,
while writing your own icommand program.

I am now going to checkin the changes into subversion.

Peter.

Peter, I really appreciate your correctness and I would be very happy if 
you take the sensor. You made the work, you deserve it!

Since I'm going to start a work on other accelometer-equipped device, 
I'll have other stuff to play with (that is: I will be able to make some 
experiments with accelerometer). It would be nice if we could share 
experiences about them.

Best regards,
Stefano.
