[Tuxmath-devel] What's the latest version?

[Richard J. <rj...@br...>]

I have in the past built tuxmath for a few varieties of linux, but currentl=

need a version for windows. I know that at one time there was a version tha=

supported command-line switches to  do only multiplication, division, etc.=

But when I went looking most recently, I found two or three different=20
web-sites claiming to be the tuxmath site, each with different information=

and each broken in some way. Which is the real official site, and what can =

do to help get that site up to scratch?

Hi Richard,

There isn't really a very functional website for tuxmath currently.  I am 
currently the main coder/maintainer, and the source code "lives" at 
https://svn.tux4kids.net/tuxmath/.   My understanding is that the "official" 
site would be www.tux4kids.net, but it hasn't had much maintenance for some 
time and is currently down.

I would also like to be able to build the current version for Windows, but I 
haven't yet gotten a functioning Windows build environment using either 
Cygwin or MinGW.  I am now looking into Dev-C++.  The last several subversion 
revisions almost certainly will not work under Windows due to new code added 
to read and write config files, but anything up to revision 10/"version 0.8" 
should work (at least, there's nothing I put in up to then that should be 
OS-dependent).  If I get a Windows version built, I'll be happy to send it to 
you.

Thanks for the info, and I did get your other email, so I'll look into that=
=20
too.
Let me run down the tux4kids site info and see if we can get that resolved.=
=20
I will let you know when/if I get tuxmath built for win32, unless of course=
=20
you get there first.=20

I've noticed a number of cross-platform applications migrating to CMake. I 
don't know much about that system, but might that help solve the build 
problem? Sadly, I know little about Windows.

As I understand it, CMake is an alternative to the Gnu autoconf/automake 
tools.  I heard about it because KDE is going to be using it in their build 
system.  I use KDevelop to work on Tuxmath, and the next major version of 
KDevelop will have much more support for CMake, so I basically tabled any 
further investigation of CMake until that time.  I think it would mean that 
we would do something other than "make && sudo make install" to build and 
install Tuxmath.

My main obstacle in building Tuxmath on Windows has been getting SDL_image set 
up properly.  The main SDL lib and SDL_mixer build and install "out of the 
box" with either Cygwin or MinGW, but so far I am stumped with SDL_image.

You might want to drop John Popplewell a line.  He packages up Tux Paint
quite nicely for Win32, and it also utilizes SDL_image.  I believe he's
using MingW nowadays.

Good luck!
