Hi,
When it comes to helping different projects, I meant to setup a site to do this a couple of years ago (and have registered the name convergenceproject.org for this).

It would probably be a wiki with pages like
/CairoClutter

Which would then have info like:

Contacts on each project

Advantages of linking them

How it might be done.

I think it would be really useful, in the medium term I'd like it to get good enough so that somebody else could run it :) ...the reason I didn't start was because I was too slack.

If it would be helpful I can put a wiki there on the weekend. It would be good to hammer out stuff like what info would be on the pages first; as a start I've got some emails knocking about from when I was thinking about this before, let me know if you think it would be useful and I can email any interested parties.

Packaging Ease, round 1 - John Stowers

John Stowers — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 06:08:57 +0200

I installed it (and clutter-gst), nothing but a black window. Ubuntu Lucid.

(ease:4534): ClutterX11-CRITICAL **: Display connection already exists. You can only call clutter_x11_set_display() before clutter_init()

(ease:4534): ClutterX11-WARNING **: clutter_x11_disable_event_retrieval() can only be called before clutter_init()

(ease:4534): ClutterGLX-CRITICAL **: Unable to make the stage window 0x5400023 the current GLX drawable

I guess it's normal, cause I removed the clutter-gst dependency without even testing the code without it, so I guess I forgot to initialize some Clutter things. Thanks for reporting!

I just installed it and it runs here with the following messages:

(ease:31748): ClutterX11-CRITICAL **: Display connection already exists. You can only call clutter_x11_set_display() before clutter_init()
(ease:31748): ClutterX11-WARNING **: clutter_x11_disable_event_retrieval() can only be called before clutter_init()
(ease:31748): ClutterGLX-CRITICAL **: Unable to make the stage window 0x6200023 the current GLX drawable

Then I can see this window: http://lh3.ggpht.com/_3mLd5CtlHo4/T...

I can't open any file, what file type should I be able to open?
I also can't draw anything, is that normal?

Ease : weekly report #4 - credit loans

credit loans — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 14:19:02 +0200

I had got a desire to start my commerce, nevertheless I didn't earn enough of money to do that. Thank goodness my close dude told to take the home loans. Thus I received the bank loan and made real my old dream.

Hi Nathan,

I must investigate this issue soon. The fix is quite simple : create an empty file named config.rpath (`touch config.rpath` in your terminal), then run ./autogen.

Ease : weekly report #1 - Nathan

Nathan — Sun, 30 May 2010 15:38:05 +0200

Hi,

I've tried to build from git, but ./autogen.sh fails

It ends with
configure.ac:45: required file `./config.rpath' not found

When I try to execute ./configure (it is generated) it stops with

...
checking for shared library run path origin... /bin/bash: ./config.rpath: No such file or directory
done
checking for CFPreferencesCopyAppValue... no
checking for CFLocaleCopyCurrent... no
checking for GNU gettext in libc... yes
checking whether to use NLS... yes
checking where the gettext function comes from... libc
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: error: cannot find input file: `Makefile.in'

It seems you have forgotten to add a file or something...

Ease : weekly report #1 - Alexandre Franke

Alexandre Franke — Sun, 30 May 2010 01:49:20 +0200

May I suggest that you at least start taking notes for your tutorial now? Memories are still fresh, you still know what parts were difficult for you. I can understand that you don't want to waste time writing it now and would rather see some progress on your SoC project, but consider that you might forget things by the time you start writing.

Also, I noticed you speak French (maybe you even *are* French). Are you already on the #gnomefr channel :) ? If not, consider joining us, it is much fun to share with people from your area. If you're already there, consider waving afranke (that's me, in case that wasn't obvious enough).

I'm considering writing the Vala tutorial too. Went through the autotools outdated docs trip myself as well :D

@swilmet : I read a page on the GNOME wiki about alternate build frameworks to replace autotools, and there was [minor] issues with most of them, CMake included. I decided to stick with autotools, it's the "standard" so I can get feedback on it, and moving to another build process won't be any more difficult :-) !

@DeeJay1 : Thanks! It's fixed.

@swilmet Last time I checked cmake support for GNOME was rather non-existent
@steph The PDF link gives a 404...

Why not using CMake instead of autotools? I think it's a lot easier.

Again (please read my previous comment on my introduction post), I am working on this. I am aware of the problem, and I fully understand it, believe me. I don't like divided efforts toward the same goal. However, I can't merge two projects just by snapping my fingers, especially because I'm only a student and not the leader of the project.

But I talked to my mentor about it, and he told me he'll try to find a solution and talk to Robert (Glide's maintainer). That's pretty much all I can say for the moment, sorry. And by the way, only Ease is written in Vala and sponsored.

Cheers.

So why exactly aren't you contributing to Glide? If you guys don't work together there will be two sponsored Clutter/Vala Gnome Presentation apps that once sponsoring ends will wither. WTG

That is not how FOSS is supposed to work. Talk to your mentor and Google to get this sorted out.
