Vala and Genie programming

[BarryK]

Hi Barry,

So Barry , If I well understood there are serveral changes to the general logic. In order to the job I want to do I think I have to consider a couple o things. In detail :

1. the words on/of are gone
2. the file deadpackages.txt,PBG_rettags.txt are gone.
3. the file's entry in each .files are not needed, just directories.

-this means if one want to reinstall a package , it must install from the original repo from a list of repos
-this means if one want unistall a package must delete all files in specific dir enumerating the content and recurring the subdirs.

All this is correct, Do I forget something ?

What about backup files ? Do you have any suggestion ?.

The .files files are as before, except they ALSO contain directory entries as well as file entries. The Easiest thing is to run a Woof build and use the Puppy Packge Manager to install a package. then take a look in /root/.packages.

Hi all,

New version without warning !

Nicolas.

Nicolas,
I compiled this in my latest Woof build Upup, which has gtksourceview, but the text editor does not display any syntax highlighting.
...is this part of it still not implemented?

Hello

I am pleased to announce the next release of Val(a)IDE with support for genie!

Val(a)IDE 0.5

Ah, I've just realised why I can't compile it, my system has gtk 2.14.7.
Is it possible to not be reliant on gtk >= 2.16.x?

Hi all,

This is a new version with "line number" and "syntax highlighting" support !!!

You need the new gtksourceview to make compile !

Please test it !
Nicolas.

Oop's, a new test, StatusIcon:

Code: Select all

[indent=4]

/* Build with valac --pkg gtk+-2.0 yourfile.gs */

uses

I don't know what to test now ! if someone have an idea ...

Hi,

For all persons interested, I created a small sdk of my genie test !

Nicolas.

[BarryK]

Hi all,

This is a new version with "line number" and "syntax highlighting" support !!!

You need the new gtksourceview to make compile !

Please test it !
Nicolas.

Nicolas,
Yes, I now have syntax highlighting!

When I open a file from the commandline, for example:
# simpletexteditor demo.htm

It opens at the end of the file. Can this be fixed?


Starting the editor in a terminal, without specifying any file on the commandline, I see this warning:

Code: Select all

** (simpletexteditor:2615): CRITICAL **: text_file_viewer_open_file: assertion `filename != NULL' failed
Unable to delete temp file, anyway it's not important !

...does that matter?

Note, I'm running my latest Woof-built "413", based on Puppy 412 with upgrades, GTK 2.14.7.

[nikobordx]

Hi Barry,

I have the same, can you try this:
Delete this line: text_view.scroll_to_mark (buf.get_insert (), 0.25, false, 0.0, 0.0)
Rebuild and test !

I ask you because I updated vala (version 0.7.4) and I can't compile the texteditor anymore.

Code: Select all

texteditor.gs:567.61-567.67: error: Argument 3: Cannot convert from `ulong' to `int'
                FileUtils.get_contents (filename, out text, out len)

Nicolas.

Re-Hi Barry,

Ok i found a solution.
Under the function:

Code: Select all

 def open_file (filename : string) 

Add this:

Code: Select all

 go_to_line(1)

Before the line:

Code: Select all

 status_bar.push(0, "You are editing: " + filename) 

See you,
Nicolas.

Is it possible to not be reliant on gtk >= 2.16.x?

You can try with the attached patch

[BarryK]

Nicolas,
I inserted the line as you instructed above, it doesn't fix it. I now have two bugs to report with the simple text editor:

1
Chose to exit editor, file was changed, a dialog came up:
"The file is unregistered, do you want to save it?"
...clicking No or Yes buttons, nothing happens.

2.
Open a file on commandline, window displays end of file. The recommended fix
inserting go_to_line(1) did not work. The insertion point is at the beginning of the file, but it initially displays the end of the file.


...if you can fix these, I propose to replace Leafpad in Puppy. I would also like to rename the simple text editor as "NicEdit" if that's ok with you.

Hi everyoine, i need a little help with a problem:

i have downloaded the GieneExamples by MU, after looking at the picturebrowseri decided to make some changes to to it (i just translate some buttons labels to spanish) after that i compiled it (with the compile button in the valide program) and everything was fine. After that i run the program, clicked on one folder on the tree and the program crashes with a "segmentation fault"

i have downloaded all from http://dotpups.de/puppy4/dotpups/Programming/Vala/

reinstalled lots of times, but nothing seems to work.

i have also tried to compile the GenieExamples program, with the same results: when i click a folder on the tree, the program crashes with seg. fault

i'm using puppy 4.00, and i have installed the following packages:

libgee-0.1.5.pet
libgee_DEV-0.1.5.pet
vala-0.7.2-i486.pet
valide-0.4-1-i686-svn-2009-03-27-and-gedit.pet
gtksourceview-2.4.2.pet
ORBit2-2.14.7-i686.pet
GConf-2.18.0.1-i686.pet


now i'm gonna try to compile from source and see what happens, but if someone can help me it would be very nice.


greetings.
