[wxWorkshop-dev] Progress - Sept. 10, 2005

[<wxw...@li...>]

Hello again,

Progress continues on wxWorkshop although a little slower than previous 
weeks.

I have been working on the Linux build and I was able to clear a 
non-fixed Font assert error on wxWorkshop when it starts up.  The 
problem was that the Courier font being selected is not a fixed-font 
under Linux (unless you're running a true-type font server under 
Linux).  I changed the code to select the default fixed-font under wxGTK 
while still selecting the fixed Courier font under wxMSW.

I am still working out the problem with the File Open Dialog Box when 
File Open is selected from the Menu.  On the Linux build the program 
segfaults as soon as the File Dialog box displays, and I have tracked it 
down to something going wrong in the wxDialogManager::OnFileOpen() 
function.  I am still trying to understand what the exact error is that 
function.

I have also been working on the autoconf scripts which have taken a 
little longer than I had hoped.  I should have it worked out in a couple 
of weeks.

The Linux sources can be checked out from the Linux_v0_80 branch.

I haven't heard from the other 2 people on the Project so I assume 
they've been busy.  I believe Tod is designing a new layout for the 
Project webpage and I'm anticipating seeing it soon.  Until Tod's pages 
are ready, I've done a little modification on the web pages to put up 
current news in the news link, and fix some Unix compiling 
instructions.  On the main page proper, I only changed the 'Built by 
Windows' to the 'Built by wxWidgets" logo, and added the sourceforge 
logo on the page as well (Sourceforge requires their logo on all of the 
projects homepages they host).

Anyhow, work continues on....stay tuned.
