[Tuxmath-devel] Andean graphics theme for TuxMath; Need help compiling 1.8.0

[Amos B. <amo...@ya...>]

Last year I wrote to this list explaining that our group, runasimipi.org, was creating a version of TuxType and TuxMath for the Andes with Andean graphics and translations in Quechua and Aymara. Irma Alvarez, our volunteer in charge of graphics went home to Peru, so the project was put on hold. Well, Irma has returned to Bolivia and is now working on completing the Andean graphics set for TuxMath.

The idea is for Andean children to feel pride in their native culture and to convince them that their native languages are "modern" and "cool", rather than outdated relics only spoken by their grandparents who don't understand modern technology and urban life. This is a huge issue, since these languages are rapidly disappearing. According to a 2001 census in Bolivia, 76% of Bolivians over the age of 65 speak a native language, but only 25% of children between the age of 0 and 4 years old speak a native language.  

To that end, Irma has replaced Tux the penguin with a cute condor we call "Kunturcha" who is wearing a ch'ullu, which is an woolen Andean cap with ear flap. In menu screen, Kunturcha periodically flaps his/her wings. Now the comets destroy adobe huts with condors inside instead of igloos with penguins. Irma has added a foreground from the Andes with llamas in the background to put on top of the space imagery in the background. We have also replaced all the graphics with words ("wave", "score", "PAUSED", "Game Over", etc) with their equivalents in Quechua and Aymara. 

We have also convinced Shanti (Santiago Guillen), who is a musician from Cuzco, Peru, to let us use his music in TuxType and have changed some of the sound effects. Now the warning siren when the game starts has been changed to a pututu (andean horn) and the cheer has been changed to people clapping and shouting "Jallalla!" for Aymara and "Kawsaychu!" for Quechua. 

Once I get a chance, I will upload all the graphics and sound files to our server and send you guys a link to download them. We would like to get these graphics incorporated into TuxMath. 

Unfortunately, TuxMath currently doesn't have the ability for the user to select the language and a theme to change the graphics and sound. What I had to do is simply replace all the original files and recompile TuxMath. We would like to see TuxMath have language selection and theme selection in the interface like TuxType. Is there any chance that these features will be added in a future version of TuxType? 

I figured out how to add Quechua and Aymara translations to TuxMath, but selection of the language based on the system language doesn't work because nobody has a computer with the system language in Quechua or Aymara. If using a Linux system, we can start up TuxMath in Quechua by using the command:
  LANGUAGE=qu_BO tuxmath
or in Aymara with the command:
  LANGUAGE=ay_BO tuxmath

I guess that it wouldn't be too hard to create packages for Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora which would create menu items which start TuxMath using these commands. The menu would have options like:
 Games > TuxMath > Aymara
                 > Quechua
                 > Spanish

We already had to create menu options for AbiWord in Quechua and Aymara, so we can probably do the same for TuxMath, but if we really want wide diffusion of the program we need to use Windows  Is there some way to to select the language for TuxMath in Windows? 

If there is no way to select the language in Windows, I guess that we could compile a version of TuxMath for Aymara and a version for Quechua which would replace the English and Spanish translation files with Aymara or Quechua, so TuxMath would appear in those languages. 

I have had quite a bit of trouble trying to compile TuxMath. First of all, I can't figure out how to compile TuxMath from the code from subversion. I downloaded the code OK, but I can't figure out how to compile it. Is there some readme file which explains how to do this? 

So then I went to http://tux4kids.alioth.debian.org/tuxmath/download.php
but I was unable to find the a source code tarball for version 1.8.X. I finally found the code for version 1.8.0 at https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=31080
So I downloaded it and compiled it in Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx). The instructions for compiling in Ubuntu in doc/INSTALL.txt should be changed to include the librsvg2-2, librsvg2-dev, libsdl-net1.2, libsdl-net1.2-dev packages. So lines 196-7 in doc/INSTALL.txt should be changed from:

For example, on (K)Ubuntu Hardy, you could say:
           sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian-all libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl-pango1 libsdl-pango-dev libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-image1.2-dev

To:

For example, on (K)Ubuntu Lucid, you could say:
           sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian-all libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl-pango1 libsdl-pango-dev libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-image1.2-dev librsvg2-2, librsvg2-dev libsdl-net1.2 libsdl-net1.2-dev

Another thing that I noticed is that this uninstalls the pulseaudio package for SDL. Is there any way to compile SDL to use pulseaudio? (Not really a big deal since the audio sounds fine without pulseaudio.) 

I managed to compile TuxMath 1.8.0 in Debian Lenny and Ubuntu Lucid without any problems, but I still can't figure out how to do this in Windows. doc/INSTALL.txt says that TuxMath for Windows can be compiled in Linux by creating a directory with all the DLLs for SDL:

The svn repository has a directory with copies of all of these files:

        tuxmath/people/dbruce/tuxmath_dll

But I can't find this directory in the old svn repository or in the new git repository. What is the command to download it?

Re: [Tuxmath-devel] [Tux4kids-tuxtype-dev] t4k_common problem in tuxtype and tuxmath

The purpose was to have a location that could be written to and read
by the tuxtype program irrespective of the current user, so that (for
example) a teacher or other admin could edit the word lists, and all
users could use the resultant lists.  The normal location for bundled
program data (e.g. /usr/local/share/tuxtype/) isn't supposed to be
modified in the normal course of program operation.

It turns out that the "right way" to do this is tricky.  From what I
learned, the traditional way would be to have the tuxtype binary
belong to the "games" group with the setgid bit set, allowing it to
modifiy locations that members of the "games" group can modify, and
setting up the /var/games/tuxtype location accordingly.  Hence they
get set to "root:games" (although I see the binary isn't yet set to
the "games" group upon "make install").

However, setuid and setgid binaries can be security risks, so modern
security-conscious distros (e.g. Fedora) have policies to prohibit or
at least strongly deprecate them.  I was told that to use a location
like this, we should write a dedicated tuxtype daemon program to
handle these file operations.

So, this feature is sort of stalled awaiting further development.

David Bruce

Re: [Tuxmath-devel] t4k_common problem in tuxtype and tuxmath

[<vic...@gm...>]

Hi,

You guys were right, my tuxmath/master was outdated.
But it's weird because I cloned it from repository.
Tuxmath is running fine now.

I'm having a small problem with tuxtype library's editor that I have already
'solved'.
The creation of libraries occurs in the folder var/tuxtype/words that has
root as owner.
So, only root can create and edit libraries. This is so purposefully ?

I intend to work on my gsoc project in the beginning if it is okay for you
guys.

This is a document [1] with my gsoc ideas.
I'll be happy with any observation.

Thanks for the help !

Re: [Tuxmath-devel] t4k_common problem in tuxtype and tuxmath

[David B. <dav...@gm...>]

Hi Victor,

So far, I can't reproduce your error.  Both t4kcommon and tuxmath are
building and installing fine on this 32-bit Debian Sid system, with
all combinations of autotools and cmake.

> I'm in the right branch, the current master (commonification). I've waited
> the merge to start looking into the code again.

Just to be sure, the old "master" had a problem because it erroneously
used a T4K_common function but didn't link to t4k_common by default.
Look at configure.ac in your working tuxmath branch, line 262, and
make sure it says "dnl libt4kcommon is now required".  If it doesn't
say that, you still have the old "master".  Because of the brute-force
way I renamed "commonification" to be "master", you need to reset it
to the current "master" with:

git checkout master
git reset --hard origin/master

Also, you could try building with autotools (from build directory)

autoreconf -if ..
../configure
make
sudo make install

With autotools, the output is more verbose and includes the complete
command passed to gcc, including all the linker flags.  Make sure the
link-time gcc command includes "-lt4k_common".  If that flag isn't
there, it says that configure isn't trying to link to the library,
which most likely means you don't actually have the latest master.

> True. To run Tuxtype 'sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib' works fine but the
> problem to compile tuxmath persists.

The only other thing I can think of is whether Arch Linux might
require a different ldconfig command than Debian.  But the fact that
tuxtype got fixed by the above command argues against it.

Hope this helps,

David Bruce

True. To run Tuxtype 'sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib' works fine but the
problem to compile tuxmath persists.

I'm still having trouble with tuxmath compilation.
I didn't look at the code yet to see why T4K_LoadScaledImag is an undefined
reference because I think it is some config problem as it was with tuxtype.

I'm using arch linux 64bits by the way. I also have osx Leopard installed..

Victor,

Also make sure you're in the right branch, commonification AKA master, and
not in old_master. TuxType may have issues when trying to use t4k_common,
even if everything goes right. If you have some time to help out, that might
be a good place to start--let me know.

As for the ldconfig step, maybe we could just tack on a "It's now
recommended to run `ldconfig /path/to/lib` to ensure the library is found"
message when installed from source. Users who know what they're doing are
free to ignore it, and I don't foresee any issues if it's done
unnecessarily. I still find it weird that there's no "good form" for this
via automake.

On my Debian and Ubuntu systems, I had to run "sudo ldconfig" with no
arguments, and the linker cache was updated and works fine ever after.

This is something different from the PATH environmental variable that
is used to find binaries.

Let me know if "sudo ldconfig" doesn't fix it.  As t4kcommon becomes
part of our standard setup, we need to come up with a foolproof way to

[Tuxmath-devel] t4k_common problem in tuxtype and tuxmath

[<vic...@gm...>]

Hi folks,

I think no one will remember me. I tryed to apply for gsoc2010 in tuxtype !
Unfortunately i did not get it but I still like to contribute to the project
in my free time.

The problems:

1. Tuxmath, when I tried to cmake in the build folder, the following error
occurred:
[ 49%] Building C object src/CMakeFiles/tuxmath.dir/campaign.c.o
/home/victor/my_stuff/tux4kids/tuxmath/src/campaign.c: In function

make[2]: *** [src/tuxmath] Error 1
make[1]: *** [src/CMakeFiles/tuxmath.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

2. A similar problem occurs with TuxType. I can compile it from git source
but when i tried to run tuxtye:
[victor@archTozo tuxtype]$ ./build/src/tuxtype
./build/src/tuxtype: error while loading shared libraries:
libt4k_common.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory


I already compiled the t4k_common and /user/local/lib is in my path.
Does anyone know how can I fix it ?

Thanks,

[Tuxmath-devel] Git: "commonification" is now master

[David B. <dav...@gm...>]

Hi everyone,

I have just renamed tuxmath's "master" to "old_master" in git on our
alioth server, and likewise renamed "commonification" to "master".

If you have local branches tracking these remotes, you will encounter
a severe merge error if you do a "git pull".  In order to have your
local "master" track the server's "master" (which is what used to be
"commonification"), do the following while on "master" locally:

git reset --hard origin/master

David

I take that back - it looks like we do support it after all, looking at our actual NSIS-related code.  We only use the built-in dialogs, and NSIS provides defaults for those.  I tested a command-line silent install on a windows XP system, and it worked fine:

tuxmath-1.7.2-win32-installer.exe /S

If you need to be able to pass arguments (e.g. install location), AFAICT we don't support that, but it seems that a basic silent install with the defaults can be done from the command line already.

David pulled the conversation onto the tuxmath list, so sorry the
context was missing.  Tux Paint uses InnoSetup these days.
And apparently it works well with the "/SILENT" switch for these folks.

Yes, TuxMath (and Tux Typing) uses NSIS.  Looking briefly through the

but our use of NSIS doesn't support it because our simple NSIS setup
doesn't provide defaults for the user selections.

it is definitely something we can put in our next release (which btw

Hey Jesus,

I'm copying in two buddies of mine, both artists for Math Adventure/Fortune

Tux Winter of Art has a nice ring to it. I'd imagine funds are tight,

[Tuxmath-devel] TuxHistory Roadmap

[Jesus M. <fo...@gm...>]

Hi all! Im very busy at the univerity, and the last moth I got no time
to work on TuxHistory. But, I will begin a very importante thread for
the project. The main problem that has tuxhistory is arts. All sprites
that I use in TuxHistory are from other projects: Westnorth, Free Civ
/ Coll. But these games arent Real Time Strategy games, and some of
this games arent isometric based games, so the graphics are not
optimal.
We need think about a good way we can attract graphical designers or
GFX people. May be we can organize a sepcial program for ?students?
and pay them some money from the GSoC founds, some thing like our own
GSoC, may be Tux Winter of Graphs :p
It is only a general idea, but  TuxHisotry and ?Tux4Kids? need artists
in our team.

Re: [Tuxmath-devel] Copyright notices for t4k_common

[Brendan L. <che...@gm...>]

Cool! So, if I understand, we'll have to maintain two different
Doxyfile templates for things to match up. That's a pretty minor
inconvenience, though.

Hi Brendan,

I've added Doxygen support to the autotools build, based on Oren
Ben-Kiki's ax_prog_doxygen.m4 from the Autoconf archive.  I tried
unsuccessfully to make it behave exactly identical to the
cmake-provided Doxygen support.  Namely, it uses a different
"Doxyfile" called "doxygen.cfg", rather than the Doxyfile made from
Doxyfile.in by configure.  Basically, more advanced make, automake,
and m4 programming is too difficult for me to figure out in my
available time.

Anyway, now with autotools we get html, latex, and pdf by running
"make doxygen-doc".

Cheers,

David

It is a remote branch of the tuxmath git repo - see:

http://book.git-scm.com/4_tracking_branches.html

If you haven't done so already, create a local git clone that supports
pushing (i.e. writing) as well as pulling, and do the same for our new
t4kcommon library:

git clone git+ssh://blu...@gi.../git/tux4kids/tuxmath.git
git clone git+ssh://blu...@gi.../git/tux4kids/t4kcommon.git

(tuxmath and tuxtype have shared a lot of similar code for some time,
and t4kcommon is our project to make this into a proper library).

First go to your t4kcommon repo and build and install the library just
as you did for tuxmath:

mkdir build
cd build
autoreconf -if ..
../configure
make
sudo make install

(you may need to add /usr/local/lib to your system's link path, which
on Debian and Ubuntu can be done by simply running "sudo ldconfig"
with no arguments.  This only needs to be done once).

Then go to your tuxmath git repo and check out the "commonification" branch:

git branch --track commonification origin/commonification
git checkout commonification

This will change the contents of your local working copy to match the
commonification branch.  Now you can build and install our latest
current version.

I would recommend that you keep reading the git book and familiarize
yourself with the "pull" and "push" operations, commits, and local
branches.  Your work flow could be something like this:

(cd to tuxmath git directory)
git checkout commonification
git pull
(work on some files with editor of choice, test your changes, etc.)
git commit -a
git push

Everyone in the project has privileges to push commits into the repo,
but try not to push anything that breaks stuff.  Start out with minor,
innocuous stuff.  Of course, feel free to do whatever you want on your
own machine.  Local branches are good for trying out more radical
ideas, and you can simply delete the branch whenever you like.  It is
considered good git practice to do development in local branches, and
then use "merge" or "rebase" to move your work into the tree.

You really need to get a feel for git before you can do much with the project.

Best,

David

[blucalvin <blu...@gm...>]

Bingo!

Now got everything right. I changed the 206th line as Bruce had suggested
and "make" along with "sudo make install" worked fine. And the music and
sounds are working fine too. So now its up and running.

So the code I have downloaded is the current master right? How can I get
hold of the "commonification" branch? And is that term technical or just a
reference name? I would like to start development as soon as possible.

Looking forward to getting along with the job,
Haris.
