GTK GUI

[mudlord]

Added.

Thanks. It works fine. I just commited the GTK GUI.

To build it, you need cmake and the development files of glibmm, gtkmm, glademm, and portaudio.

Then you have to generate the makefile using "cmake ." and build the binaries with "make".

Coolness!

Hi all!

 

I have been watching the progress of VBA-M and just wanted to say well done, and keep up the good work!

 

I tried to compile the fresh GTK GUI vba-m and I'm having some trouble.

 

I'm using ArchLinux.

 

Here's the output of make:

make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/gvbam.dir/src/gtk/main.o] Error 1

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

make: *** [all] Error 2

 

My guess is that GCC ver. 4.3.0 is the one responsible for this.

 

I'm also planning to create a PKGBUILD (kind of a package, more or less) for arch, and I can't wait for the Qt gui. Keep up the good work!

Fixed. I don't even know why it worked on my system. Thanks for the bug report.

It's great to have packagers for Linux distros. Arch is really a nice distro, with a great community. The AUR system is just brilliant.

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/happy.png[/img]/emoticons/happy@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />.

 

Honestly, this is why I like Linux: the whole package idea. I just wish MS thought of something like this for Windows. That way, there is no dependancy issues, and everything is a cinch.

 

But that topic is getting OT...

[spacy51]

OT: Microsoft got the MSI (Microsoft Installer), which has a sh*tload of features no individual can ever use [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/tongue.png[/img]/emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

bgK, thank you for your work.

Separation of sound system allowed me to reuse most of the code from src/win32/OpenAL.cpp (I already had OpenAL and libao, didn't wanted Portaudio without a very good reason).

It seems to work fine (I'm using openal-soft-1.3.253).

 

But my hate for cmake still grows. And on a related note, you should note somewhere that cmake 2.4.8 is required, with 2.4.6 it fails.

 

I added soundShutdown() to Window destructor, cause OpenAL was bitching about it.

BTW, it was not that obvious that calls to alGetError are invalid, if current context == NULL.

Sorry for the late response but NG-Emu and these forums seem to be down most of the time that I am online.

 

No prob about the bug reports. If I find something I' ll be more than happy to report it.

 

Well, thanks for the fixes, vba-m now compiles succesfully with the gtk GUI.

 

However, I cannot start gvbam. Here's the error

 

$ gvbam
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Glib::FileError'

Aborted

 

I'm using the following switch of cmake to compile : -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr

 

(Otherwise the files end up in /usr/local. I will test asap if the cmake . alone works correct)

 

Also two files (vba.glade and gbadvance.svg) end up in src/gtk, which is not very appropriate for these files I believe. Maybe /usr/share/vbam/gtk and /usr/share/icons would be more compatible with packaging standards of most distros?

[mnk]

Well, if you read CMakeLists.txt (doing that is just oh-so-obvious) you would learn that you need to define DATA_INSTALL_DIR for cmake, too.

It's done this way, so there's a way for gvbam to work while still in the source tree.

It's not a nice way, cause you need to rerun cmake when you actually want to install (please correct me if I'm wrong), but otherwise you'd have to install to check if it's working.

It should probably be defined to share/vbam (or share/gvbam)
