With the need to upgrade the gtk version, to get anjuta working, how compatible will any binaries produced be with pupversions that don't have that gtk verion?

Is little puppy destined to turn into a St. Bernard?

I created a Linux Tmxxine for programmers but think I was overly ambitious and not happy with the results

. . . however there is considerable mileage in a .pet, sfs
for Puppy for c/c++ that includes an IDE
thus bringing it a step up from Geany which supports colour coding

be aware of this thread too - the developer is very friendly

Yes, they are asking US 99.95 for Enveria:

No reason why we can't work on the GPL version though. It probably just has trivial bugs, but they aren't interested in fixing it, for obvious reasons.

Wosh, yes, an SFS file is best. But name it as something like 'anjuta-puppy-4.x.sfs' to show that it will work in all the Puppy4 series.
If you only have '_400' then the boot scripts will only allow it to be loadedfor that version of Puppy. Any SFS file with that specific string in it, exactly like '_400' or '_301' will only be usable with that version of Puppy.
But, you use anything else, like with a dot in it, or without the underscore: '-4.0' then any Puppy can use it. But I suggest put something like 'puppy-4.x' in the name as that helps people to identify that the sfs is designed for Puppy4.

If you can get everything into a single directory, named say 'anjuta-puppy-4.x' then MU has created a nice script 'dir2sfs' to make it easy to create a sfs file, although it's pretty easy to use mksquashfs directly.

I suppose you don't really need the string 'puppy' in the sfs name. That was just an example.

I compiled Code::Blocks v.8.02 and wxGTK v.2.8.7 from source the day 4.00 was officially released and it has been working fine. I can try making a sfs file if there is interest - just let me know. I was just about to try setting up cross-compiling for win32...for those of us who dwell in both worlds, it's nice to have the same IDE in both.

I would have posted sooner, but I've never visited the forum - I stumbled upon a link to this discussion in Barry's blog.

- Thanks

It took 3 hours, but everything was isolated on the first attempt. My hat is off to those who visioned and brought to the life this "file layering/trumping" method - very nice. I thought making a SFS might be challenging, but it's just an elegant and simple design with which to work.

To test, I booted Puppy with a new/clean 2fs, loaded the new cb_400.sfs and devx_400.sfs (named to ensure devx has priority...), created a template GTK project, and built/ran successfully without any other configuration. I don't believe there will be issues, but please let me know if anyone experiences any. Note: it may be a few days until I check this forum again.

I don't have a place to host it, so I uploaded to mediafire. The file is 26MB:

Excellent.
Works. Smile

I am off to write a Puppy blog entry about it . . .

Hi all,

If anyone on this thread needs server space and bandwidth to publish their work on C++ pm me and I'll set you up with an ftp account so you will be able to keep up to date files available to the public.

Best,
Eric

I have heard good things about Code Blocks. I think I may give it a try.

On the topic of Enveria, I got it compiled, but it looks kind of rough. The first thing I noticed was that the makefile was missing a few basic things like "make install". Once I had it running, I had trouble finding all of the controls because they were in separate windows. I couldn't see the two windows with the controls, because they were hidden behind the main window. It wasn't until I looked at the taskbar that I realized that they were there. The windows are not resizeable (well, they are, but nothing scales, you just get a bunch of empty or you hide half the objects in the window). The screenshot you see below was taken at 1024x768. In order to really use this, you would need a higher screen resolution than that.

If anyone wants to play with it, I'll post it, but I don't think it's worth using just yet.
