Random tidbits of information about projects I'm hacking on...
Contents |
During the MeeGo Conference I gave a presentation on multi-point-touch support on MeeGo (overview and video slides). As mentioned during that presentation, to add multi-point-touch to Qt applications running on top of MeeGo 1.1 requires a few changes.
The components that need to be changed are:
New components:
To get the above, you can add my home project:
cd /etc/zypp/repos.d sudo wget http://download.meego.com/live/home:/jketreno/Trunk/home:jketreno.repo sudo sed -i -e 's,^gpg,#gpg,g' home:jketreno.repo zypper refresh
Next, force a re-installation of the packages provided from my home project:
zypper install -f --from=home_jketreno kernel_netbook libqt* qt-qmlviewer mtdev \ xf86-input-mtev multipointtouchplugin
It will prompt you to switch to the versions of the various packages provided from the above repository. Accept the changes, and reboot.
The mechanism to talk to the xf86-input-mtev driver is not merged into the Qt package itself. Until that occurs, applications interested in working with touch events need to add the following to the beginning of their application, within the main() function:
foreach (QString path, QCoreApplication::libraryPaths()) { QPluginLoader loader(path + "/libmultipointtouchplugin.so"); loader.load(); if (loader.isLoaded()) { loader.instance(); break; } }
At the beginning of the file, you also need to include QPluginLoader:
#include <QPluginLoader>
And that's it.
The version of qmlviewer built and installed with the Qt package in my home project has the above code enabled, providing Touch events into qml applications run within qmlviewer. If you are loading your QML application using your own native loader, you will need to follow the steps above for enabling a native applications.
As Frederik Gladhorn indicated during his talk at the MeeGo Conference in Dublin, the folks over at Qt have been working on an improved QML GestureArea component.
You can pull and play with what they're cooking as follows:
git clone git://gitorious.org/qt-labs/qml-gesturearea.git git clone git://gitorious.org/qt-labs/qml-gestures-examples.git
To build qml-gesturearea, you may need to patch it (I did):
cd qml-gesturearea sed -i -e 's,q->timeout(),700,g' qdeclarativegesturerecognizers.cpp qmake make && sudo make install
Assuming you are using the qmlviewer provided with qt-qmlviewer in my home project, you should then be able to run the following:
qmlviewer ../qml-gestures-examples/dashboard/MainWidget.qml
and interact with the example.
The multi-point touch plugin is intended to proof out multi-point touch interaction with Qt, without having to make invasive changes to Qt 4.7 itself. Ultimately, by MeeGo 1.2, we need to create a patch to Qt deployed on MeeGo such that each application does not have to load the plug-in.
Internally, the plug-in (in the MultiPointTouch constructor) first make sure the XInput extension exists and supports version 2.0 of the protocol.
When an X FocusIn event is received, the plugin walks through all of the available input devices looking for any that expose a valuator with the "Abs MT Tracking ID" label. Any X input device using xf86-input-mtev will expose this data. For each device found, it subscribes to button press, release, and motion events.
When an X FocusOut event is received, the plugin walks through all of the available input devices looking for any that expose a valuator with the "Abs MT Tracking ID" label. Any X input device using xf86-input-mtev will expose this data. For each device found, it clears the event mask The plug-in then inserts itself into the QCoreApplication's event filter via setEventFilter().
The plug-in's registered eventFilter does a few checks to determine that an inbound event is the correct type, and if so, it then calls a method to translate the event to Touch events (translateEvent)
Within translateEvent, the valuators are parsed, scaled, and set onto list of active QTouchEvent::TouchPoint's.
If each touch point is immediately fed into the Qt input queue, via qt_translateRawTouchEvent, input becomes very laggy and the Qt application behaves very sluggishly. So, each of the TouchPoints is instead placed into a pending queue and then all events remaining in the Qt input queue are processed via processEvents(). Once that returns, the batch of queued touch events are dispatched.
If you do nothing, X will default to binding the touch device to the Core Pointer. This means that as you move your finger around, mouse events will be generated, the cursor will move, etc. If X is already running, you can use the xinput utility to "float" the touch device. On the Lenovo S10, running 'xinput list' shows something like the following:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Cando Corporation Cando 10.1 Multi Touch Panel with Controller id=13 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=16 [slave pointer (2)] ...
Looking at the above, you can see the touch device (Cando Corporation...) is device id 13. To float that input device, run:
xinput float 13
and verify that touching the screen no longer moves the mouse pointer. Having the input device disconnected from the Core Pointer, combined with the FocusIn/FocusOut mechanism in the multipointtouchplugin means that window focus will have to be given to windows via an actual mouse pointer (since X will no longer be parsing touch input as an Core pointer input device) or by other means (pressing the application in the app switcher, for example)


text: When starting your own restaurant business, the best way to get the best deals for the best prices is by going straight through to the restaurant supplies manufacturers. These are the companies responsible for making the supplies you need for your business. The world of manufacturing started in the 1800s and is the main source of cash flow in our country. When dealing with local restaurant supplies manufacturers, you have the opportunity to get your products straight from the source and you have a better chance of purchasing your products by the bulk for much lesser prices than you would with your regular supply retail store. Its kind of like cutting out the middle man. You are able to get more quality supplies a lot quicker. When choosing a manufacturer to do business with, its important to choose based on location, quality, prices, and how quickly your supplies can be produced and delivered to you. All these things will play an important factor in how well your business runs. Location is important because you should be able to access your supplies quickly. If you needed to place a quick order with a manufacturer and needed the order filled right away, then you would need to be located conveniently close to the manufacturer in order to get the shipment on time. Being located too far away from manufacturers can cause a delay in receiving your products, or you may spend extra money using other services to get you the products right away. The customer flow of your business may come to a halt if people think they have to wait for products that they can get somewhere else.

Sorry, this story is unavailable
@ firepower. Thank you sir. Finally I meet someone who is ready to call a spade, a spade.
S. Kepu is proving to be a major disappointment with every game he plays. Sad part is he is showing no signs of improvement
Posted 22:07 21st August 2012
This was a very poor team performance from the Wallabies.... unfortunately, in the game of inches that rugby has become. the All Blacks were dominant is all departments. Does a strong scrum matter? Of course it does! Why were the All Blacks able to score two tries from first phase play? The ratings for the Wallabies are really just technical - who should be blamed for such a loss? Dingo Deans? D.Pocock (poor leadership)? the Tight Five? The Whole Team?
I am not sure... but the Wallabies were very poor collectively in many facets of play!
The real coaching response will be, how can we fix all of the problems before next weekend? There were so many problems from a Wallaby perspective, disguised by a mere 8 point loss!
Posted 04:07 20th August 2012
Wow you are way too kind!! This was quite possibly the worst game of Rugby I have seen between these two countries in a long time. The ref didnt help, but OMG, the OZs were absolutely pathetic. The score flatters the OZs and if the same OZ team shows up in Auckland the score will blow out to 30+. The only players in the OZ team I would give a pass mark too (assuming that is 5 and above) would be Ioane, Genia, and Pockock!! This OZ team is in dire straights! Deans will be gone before the end of the year but even that wont help because neither the talent nor the depth is there anymore.
Posted 02:01 20th August 2012
@georgesmith your absolutely right George. Sekope Kepu is a hopeless prop, i don't know why he got a spot in the match 22 for the Wallabies. I'm Tongan, and I'm a big fan of all Tongan players but not him mate haha. fu'u kete kovi 'aupito hahaha.
@wolfgang thanks for your positive comment on Sitaleki Timani:) he started to pick up the game now lol.
Posted 20:46 19th August 2012
The only wallabies forwards player that the all blacks fear was timani,without his big hits...the Abs gonna keep smashing the gold jumber to pieces...i can see timani as a great wallaby player in the future...tatafu needs to keep those big hits and running hard coming,thats the only way,otherwise the Abs gonna run riot in the second test...very dissapointed with beale,higgibothan n kepu...and genia pls FAST ball next time,u are a good all round player but the timing of ur pass will always be a problem...hopefully Wallabies will improved for the next game!!
Posted 14:33 19th August 2012
Good thing Dingo's pups had a few months in their training camps to practice otherwise it would have been a complete debacle.
Posted 08:27 19th August 2012
7.5/10 for Pocock sounds too generous to me! Not once did he succeed in doing his job, i.e. get a turnover from breakdown - legally, at least.
Posted 07:03 19th August 2012
Kurtley Beale: 1/10, by his standards his worst performance in a Gold jumper.
Rob Horne: 3/10 needs to and can improve. Another shocking performance from a very capable bloke he let Fainga'a down and relied on Fainga'a far too often
Berrick Barnes, was his usual dependable self, if it wasn�t for him I fear that we may have had a few more tries scored against us. Cooper would have been a liability. Should have been 8/10.
Will Genia, another brilliant effort from him, had few opportunities but utilised each to the max. Again should have been 8/10., and should be captain for our next game.
Scott Higginbotham, I think you also missed the fact that he stopped our scrum wheeling a couple of times; so for that and his lineout takes he should have got 7/10.
David Pocock, not a great game from him, although he cannot be faulted on work rate, 7.5/10 is a little over stretched though, should be 6/10 based on his previous performances.
Dave Dennis, the less said the better. 0/10. Next week Deans needs to move Higgers to 6 and Samo to 8, leave Dennis out.
Nathan Sharpe, cost us a fair start so how the hell can you justify 7/10, a 50/50 performance from him therefore 5/10.
Sitaleki Timani�s defence was great, agreed however he did not make the impact I expected. Needs to step up or step out.
Sekope Kepu, not impressed by his performance in the slightest, he needs to be replaced in the starting line-up.
TPN played better than I expected, still believe that Stephen Moore is a better hooker overall.
Benn Robinson overall he is Mr Reliable but appears to be carrying an injury, hope I�m wrong.
Coach rating. Robbie Deans, for his lack of ingenuity, inability to make salient selections and abysmal ability to coach a world class side effectively 1/10. (The 1 is for pitching, he�ll get 10 for leaving).
Posted 04:10 19th August 2012
Yep, Pocock and Sharpe let down by Dennis and Higginbotham. It's a hard road when one Wallaby forward is always taking on two All Black forwards. The veterans did very well considering.
Posted 00:07 19th August 2012
Interesting scores ,and it just goes to show J.Slipper just is not a international prop.Although the wallaby scrum was demolished before he came ont he couldnt save it ,and it continued to desintgrate.Overall a poor performance for the wallabies though a battling one.Just to much class overall in the ABs im afraid
Posted 15:23 18th August 2012
T. Holme should seriously consider watching to replay. N.Sharpe 7/10. Are you blind? S. Kepu 5/10, u must be kidding yourself. How many mistakes did N. Sharpe and S.Kepu commit in the opening 20mins to put the whole team backwards by 15 points. K.Beale body language so evident that he didn't like mistakes by N. Sharpe as the veteran was putting the whole team under pressure. D. Pocock is so over-rated. He is not captain material. W. Genia should be captaiin. R. Deans has lost the plot. He needs to be shown the door. Funny! This time ABs won without R. McCaw trying to cheat. ABs rock. Franks boys took turns in destroying S.Kepu.

Thomson to launch instantly adjustable dropper seatpost
MTB post arrives later this year… and there's a road version planned too
US component manufacturer Thomson are releasing a new Elite Dropper mountain bike seatpost with a handlebar mounted switch that allows you to adjust your saddle height, and they reckon they're going to offer similar technology on a road version soon.
First of all, we'll talk you through the mountain bike model that David Parrett from Thomson showed us at the Core Bike Show earlier this week….
Seatposts with a simple means of height adjustment aren't new in mountain biking. The idea is that you can alter your ride position according to the trail you're on without having to faff about with Allen keys or a quick release seatpost clamp.
Thomson's new Elite Dropper post allows you to move the saddle up/down by up to 125mm (5in) via a lever mounted to your handlebar. It's a cable-operated system rather than a hydraulic design.
Like many mountain bike forks, it's an oil-damped unit that uses nitrogen to push the post back up, so it's tried and trusted technology, although in a slightly different application. The saddle feels really secure in the position you set – there's no side-to-side movement as you pedal.
The Elite Dropper will be available in 30.9mm and 31.6mm diameters to start with and Thomson are working on a shorter travel 27.2mm version too. That's going to need to use a different system, though. Thomson have a target weight of 450g and it'll cost £350 when it's released later in the year.
Anyway, the reason we're telling you about this on a road bike website is that Thomson plan to market a road version that will drop your saddle 50mm (2in). Rather than having the lever mounted on the handlebar, they plan to position it under the saddle.
Why on earth would you want to alter your saddle height out on the road? Well, to be honest, I don't think I would. I guess that some people might prefer one saddle height for climbing and another for descending although, personally, I remain to be convinced on that one. Does anyone have different preferences depending on whether they're going up or down? Let us know.
Thomson hope to get the road version and the 27.2mm mountain bike version out for proper testing by about June in time for a launch at Eurobike (28-31 August). They expect the road version to be lighter than the mountain bike model, so we might be looking at a weight penalty over a fixed post of as little as 100g – that's what they say, anyway. There's no price sorted yet.
We'll give you more news when we get it. In the meantime, keep your eyes on the website of i-ride, Thomson's UK distributor.
Don't think I'll be droppering my road post any time soon.
In order to really appeal to their target market (i.e. money>sense) amongst roadies, this should really be electronically operated via an iphone app.
As a mountain biker as well as a roadie (I only shave one leg), the advantages for descent saddle dropping are significant. The increased confidence and control achieved by a lower centre of gravity and a more 'planted' position is without debate.
There is a small section of the mtb community who never lower their saddle, though it can be said that they're maybe not riding the decent stuff. For the rest of the mtb world the on-the-fly lowering of the saddle to get it out of the way for super techy descending is as much of a game changer as front suspension was or even wide bars.
Like disc brakes for road bikes this is a storm that's coming, which may ruffle the feathers of the trad crowd, but the road world will be better for it...
That's not all they're working on for dropper posts...check the factory tour on Bikerumor!
i've never felt the need to get my saddle out the way for 'super techy descending' on my road bike like i have on my mtb
woo...27.2, finally.
Not much of a mention of the "suspension" capability to be found - are we talking a couple of inches of actual travel, or a few mm of "damping"
Always wondered why these dropper post manufacturers didn't include a bit of travel in the design - the technnology to do so is already in the thing...
I dont think there is any suspension from what ive heard? Certainly none of the other brands offer that, just adjustable height. The 'oil damping' mentioned is what is used for the adjustment, and is not really damping as such.
"Thomson to launch instantly adjustable dropper/suspension seatpost"
Article headline - maybe they're referring to a couple of mm of "vertical compliance" - probably still laterally stiff though...
Still never understood why these companies don't bung a lightweight spring in alongside the damping/rebound cartridge on these things for the hardtail crowd & give an optional couple of inches of travel... or am I supposed to just buy a 5" travel "do it all" bike?
well a lighter drpper post, suited to narrower tubes might suit some in the XC racer segment, but really on a road bike?! Most of us spend a fair while sorting out saddle height to be "just so" for the road bike, can't see it being of any use what so ever.
On my full susser though, saving my notes now, ready for this one, looks to be the best of the bunch, if a tad expensive.
for me - The ride is about adventure, camaraderie and the sense of accomplishment that comes after a long day in the saddle.
woo...27.2, finally.
Yup, quite excited about this one.
In order to really appeal to their target market (i.e. money>sense) amongst roadies, this should really be electronically operated via an iphone app.

Parks for People
Credit: Darcy Kiefel
For the 80% of Americans who live in or near a city, neighborhood parks provide the closest experience with nature. Yet, 80 percent of US census blocks do not have a park within a half-mile, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report [pdf]. As a result, an entire generation is growing up without a connection to nature, missing out on the daily chance for recreation, exercise, community, and renewal that parks provide.
Parks Matter
We believe that every American—in particular, every child—should live within a ten-minute walk of a park or playground. Parks reduce crime, revitalize local economies, and bring neighborhoods together. They also promote public health, lowering a community's collective risk of obesity, diabetes, and other illnesses linked to inactivity.
Collaboration and Participation
Employing a unique participatory design process, we plan, fund, and build parks where they're needed most. We invite the community to work with us to design their parks, ensuring the end result is a much-loved and used community space.
Climate Smart Cities
Accross the country, we're working with cities to help address the growing threats of climate change. By keeping residential development away from flood-prone areas, connecting walk-bike corridors at scale, siting parks and shade trees to provide natural cooling, and using green infrastructure to manage storm water naturally, we're making cities more energy efficient and less vulnerable to the effects of climate change. More about Climate Smart Cities.

She says there were no supermarkets, and housewives didn't have their cars, so milk, ice, bread, produce and other things were delivered, sometimes by horse-drawn carts.
She remembers the first streetlight going up at State and Orange streets.
She describes the trolley car system that used to be the main method of transportation in town, and recalls going to the Smiley estate, Canon Crest park, to picnic with her family.
She said there were little huts Redlanders called "spoon holders" because lovers would go in there, and they're activities were referred to as "spooning."
She talks about her memories of smudging - lighting oil in the smudge pots in the orange groves when there was a frost. Men and boys did that work, she said.
"It created a dense smoke that surrounded the trees and for the homes nearby, anywhere the wind didn't blow it away, it would get in the houses, seep through the windows. You couldn't keep it out. The curtains were black. Everything you touched was greasy and black."
Citrus owners made sure to listen to the radio at 8 p.m. to hear forecaster Floyd Young give the frost report. She said everybody in town would stop whatever they were doing to tune in.
"They all were eager to know how dangerous it was going to be that night."
One time, she said, the smoke from smudging was so thick a trolley car missed a turn and caused a crash that was heard throughout the town.
For entertainment, she says there was the Wyatt Opera House, and at the end of the Vaudeville era, the Fox movie theater. The Wyatt was ultimately condemned and destroyed about when the Clock Auditorium at Redlands High School was built.
In the early century, teens would go downtown to a triangle space at the corner or Orange and Citrus and hang out at the Triangle Chocolate Shop.
Down Brookside there was a root beer stand, where children drank free out of mini steins.
She said that in mid-century people used to go to Smiley Park and play games under a palm-thatched roof. People gathered there and played croquet and checkers.
One time her grandfather was playing checkers there with another man and he announced he had just become a great-grandfather for the first time. The other man said the same was true of him. It turned out they were talking about the same baby, Barbara's son.
Barbara's late husband, Joel, collected petrified rocks. Part of his collection is on display at the San Bernardino County Museum in Redlands, but much of it is at their home and shown in the video.

Sdl/sdl_draw Hello World For Gp2x
Posted 03 December 2008 - 10:55 AM
I'd like to attempt to bring these programs over to my GP2X F200, to ensure I know what I'm doing and that I can continue development on LInux. Can I verify that I want to install the Open2X toolchain (http://wiki.gp2x.org/wiki/Installing_the_Open2x_toolchain), and compile my program with this or a similar command on my Linux box?
/opt/open2x/gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.6/bin/arm-open2x-linux-g++ -lSDL -lSDL_draw SDLTest.cpp -o SDLTest
Sadly at the moment I'm getting a "version `GLIBC_2.4' not found" error, but I know this isn't a open2x or g++ issue. I also know the last time I tried to upgrade to GLIBC 2.4 on my Slackware 11.0 system I lost several hours of my life and suffered a small heart attack before mostly reverting back to GLIBC2.3. Time to move development to a real operating system and plot to upgrade my server...
(actually, that's odd.. the toolchain says it's for glib2.3.6... It's possible I've fried my system more than I feared when I attempted the 2.4 upgrade).
I also have some concerns that SDL_draw (primitive graphics library) will actually work without open2x specific libraries.. but here I show my SDL noobishness. Should I be able to get SDL_draw working on the GP2X? Can I just compile against my existing libraries or does SDL_draw need to be compiled against the arm processor?
Thanks in advance for your replies and patience. Any hints or pointers you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Posted 03 December 2008 - 12:50 PM

I've moved to another machine that doesn't' have the GLIBC issue. I'm trying to compile the simplest of SDL programs: LazyFoo's Tutorial 1, which basically initializes SDL and exits.
int main( int argc, char* args[] ) {
//Start SDL
SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING );
//Quit SDL
return 0;
Works great in Ubuntu compiled for x86. I can also compile this for arm using modified compile in another thread:
/opt/open2x/gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.6/bin/arm-open2x-linux-g++ -I /opt/open2x/gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.6/include -I /opt/open2x/gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.6/include/SDL -L /opt/open2x/gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.6/lib -lSDL BasicSDL.cpp -o BasicSDL.gpe
No errors... not tested yet though.
However if I throw a -static in the mix, I get errors...
BasicSDL.cpp:(.text+0x1c): undefined reference to `SDL_Init'
BasicSDL.cpp:(.text+0x20): undefined reference to `SDL_Quit'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
If I had to guess it can't compile staticly against the open2x libraries. Do I need to have a working arm compile of SDL to staticly compile?
I also have questions about compiling SDL_draw against the open2x toolkit, but I'll ask those later.. one problem at a time...
Posted 03 December 2008 - 10:26 PM
-static -lSDLmain -lSDL_mixer -lSDL_svg -lSDL_ttf -lSDL_image -lSDL_gfx -ljpeg -lpng -lmikmod -lreadline -lsmpeg -logg -lvorbis -lvorbisidec -lvorbisenc -lvorbisfile -lxml2 `../bin/sdl-config --libs` -lz
the order is important, with static you not only link a library but the libraries it uses.
Posted 03 December 2008 - 10:46 PM
Back to static compile:
Hmm... I seem to get the same error even if I put static in the correct place. ala:
/opt/open2x/gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.6/bin/arm-open2x-linux-g++ -I /opt/open2x/gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.6/include -I /opt/open2x/gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.6/include/SDL -L /opt/open2x/gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.6/lib -static -l SDL BasicSDL.cpp -o BasicSDL.gpe
Though there's no reason why I should need to compile SDL staticly into my app.
Maybe I should move on to my next question. How would I compile SDL_draw libs for arm?
I'm guessing I'll need to pass several parameters to ./configure... I did manage to change CC, but I wasn't even close to getting the compile working.
Thanks for your information and your patience.
EDIT: I'm obviously doing something stupid because I get the same errors compiling for x86:
(compiles fine)
tgb@tikal:~/SDLTest$ g++ -static -lSDL BasicSDL.cpp
/tmp/ccy7oYZm.o: In function `main':
BasicSDL.cpp:(.text+0x19): undefined reference to `SDL_Init'
BasicSDL.cpp:(.text+0x1e): undefined reference to `SDL_Quit'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

That should actually be "g++ -static BasicSDL.cpp -lSDL -lpthread -o BasicSDL.gpe" as with static linking, you have to ensure that everything is in order of reference, IE: your BasicSDL.cpp calls on SDL_Init/SDL_Quit which are in SDL. Your version of SDL was probably compiled with posix threads so we add the pthread library. Doing this under Ubuntu, however, is lots of fun as Ubuntu's SDL has a great mass of crap compiled in as well and the `sdl-config --cflags --static-libs` trick doesn't seem to pull them all in so be warned that it may throw up a huge amount of undefined resources if you try it on Ubuntu.
Also, with the Open2X toolchain you have to statically link for it to work on the GP2X due to glibc issues. The GP2Xs default firmware uses an older one, whereas the Open2X firmware and toolchain uses a newer version.
Posted 04 December 2008 - 12:01 AM
/opt/open2x/gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.6/bin/arm-open2x-linux-g++ -static BasicSDL.cpp -I /opt/open2x/gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.6/include -I /opt/open2x/gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.6/include/SDL -I /usr/include/ -L /opt/open2x/gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.6/lib -lSDL -lpthread
Which generates a nice 950K file instead of a 7K file.
And as you said, it *doesn't* work for x86 Ubuntu... but that's perfectly fine with me.
OK, next step then (and almost there!). How would I compile SDL_draw for arm?
Thanks everyone for your help so far... It's greatly appreciated.

I can only get it to build a static library for some reason, as it's complaining that libtool doesn't support shared libraries ( meaning I've probably missed something, hehe ) but.. should get you started at least, since you'll need to statically link for the GP2X anyway
BUILD=`uname -m`
FLAGS += CC='$(OPEN2X)/bin/$(HOST)-gcc'
FLAGS += CXX='$(OPEN2X)/bin/$(HOST)-g++'
FLAGS += AR='$(OPEN2X)/bin/$(HOST)-ar'
FLAGS += STRIP='$(OPEN2X)/bin/$(HOST)-strip'
FLAGS += RANLIB='$(OPEN2X)/bin/$(HOST)-ranlib'
FLAGS += CFLAGS='-O3 -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -mcpu=arm920t -DARM -D_ARM_ASSEM_ -I$(OPEN2X)/include -I$(OPEN2X)/include/libxml2 -I$(OPEN2X)/include/SDL'
FLAGS += LDFLAGS='-L$(OPEN2X)/lib'
FLAGS += PKG_CONFIG='$(OPEN2X)/bin/pkg-config'
@-echo "Build SDL_draw"
(rm -rf config.cache; \
$(FLAGS) ./configure --prefix=$(OPEN2X)\
$(FLAGS) make
$(FLAGS) make install
$(FLAGS) make clean
I put that into a "buildme.mk" file, then did "make -f buildme.mk" in the folder I extracted SDL_draw to.
It built and seemed to stick things in the right place, but I haven't tested it yet as it's 1:22am and I possibly should get some sleep
Hope that helps though!

Posted 04 December 2008 - 01:50 AM
Once I get this working I can move off the GP2X and focus on C and SDL programming on Linux, knowing I can port over later. (Pity me for owning an F200...)
Posted 04 December 2008 - 03:08 AM
But even with that fixed I seem to get "*** commands commence before first target. Stop." errors. They go away if I remove the three tabbed "$(FLAGS) make" commands. I don't think make likes "make" to be inside a makefile. Google searching comes up with "A Makefile is not a script" and the like.
I tried running configure manually, but I gave up about halfway through when I feared that I'd get the export variables wrong... best to fix the Makefile rather than write an equally long and complex shell script.
Sorry this is turning into a Makefile howto. I know enough to fiddle with the things and set parameters, but otherwise I'm used to ant and other things Java... Time to learn, I'll need it for my project anyways...
Thanks again for your help.
Posted 04 December 2008 - 11:12 AM
OK, I had some issues until I realized that makefiles are dependent on positions of Tabs, and I think the forum is eating tabs and converting them to spaces.
Agh, I apologise for that, I never checked to make sure the tabs stayed correct.
I had the same "commands commence before first target" problem, and yea it is a tab issue..
<tab>@-echo "Build SDL_draw"
<tab>(rm -rf config.cache; \
<tab><tab>$(FLAGS) ./configure --prefix=$(OPEN2X)\
<tab>$(FLAGS) make
<tab>$(FLAGS) make install
<tab>$(FLAGS) make clean
Basically the forum is converting a tab to four spaces, so if you re-tab the above like that, it should start compiling.. if not, I'll upload the actual file somewhere and ensure it still works when I re-download it
Sorry about that! it was a bit late and I really should've checked :\
Posted 04 December 2008 - 10:21 PM
It compiled nicely, and my SDL_draw test app also compiled nicely with the -static flag and the libraries carefully placed in the right order... (app, then SDL_draw, then SDL, then pthread). For reference (because I've found these threads pretty useful), that's:
/opt/open2x/gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.6/bin/arm-open2x-linux-g++ -static SDLGrow.cpp -I /opt/open2x/gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.6/include -I /opt/open2x/gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.6/include/SDL -I /usr/include/ -L /opt/open2x/gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.6/lib -l SDL_draw -lSDL -lpthread
(EDIT: A minor note here... the install of SDL_draw didn't seem to copy SDL_draw.h to /opt/open2x/gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.6/include, which is why "-I /usr/include" is in there. If I copy the file manually and remove /usr/include it works fine too)
My SDL_draw test app is running nicely on my GP2X right now. Now I have trivial things like joystick input and mouse cursors to deal with, but that's well documented on the wiki.
Thank you very much Stuckie. Your help has been greatly appreciated. Better knowledge of Open2X makefile is going to help me when my project gains some steam.
One last question of clarification. I did manage to compile an SDL test that dynamically linked to the SDL libraries that ran just fine on my GP2X, though it was a primitive test. I read previously here that GP2X binaries should be compiled staticly because of Open2X. Ideally I'd like to just compile only SDL_draw staticly and use the SDL libraries. (A) Is it possible to compile staticly against SDL_draw but dynamically against SDL and pthrerad, and if so how? And ( Is this a really dumb idea considering I'm using the Open2X toolchain?

Is there any particular reason why you are using SDL_draw? SDL_gfx can do all the same and more, and is included with pretty much every toolchain for the GP2X.
Posted 05 December 2008 - 12:33 AM
Ummm.... you need to link statically for the GPH firmware, not for Open2x. Yes, you can mix shared and static libs, but there is absolutely no point if you want to run on the GPH firmware. If you wanted to run the binary only on Open2x, that is a different matter entirely and it then becomes useful to use the up to date shared libs in the firmware but static link anything obscure (like SDL_draw) which you are using.
As I said, I managed to run a basic, dynamically linked Open2X binary on GPH firmware. But as I said, it was about 4 lines long, simply loaded a bitmap to the screen, and likely worked by sheer luck.
Is there any particular reason why you are using SDL_draw? SDL_gfx can do all the same and more, and is included with pretty much every toolchain for the GP2X.
Because I'm a noob and wasn't aware SDL_gfx existed?
That's what I get for looking almost exclusively at Lazy Foo and not seeing what I'm looking for. I'll transition over to SDL_gfx. Can you recommend a resource that would help me learn about other SDL packages?
(Sadly, still no arbitrary ellipse function in SDL_gfx (not fixed to the X or Y axis)... I'm going to have to code that one myself. Off to work!)

I was partially wondering that myself, but I kinda thought perhaps SDL_draw had something unique to it that was needed ( the ellipse thing seems to be one, for example, hehe ) so just tried to help get it working
If anything, it was a nice little diversion while I figure out the next bug that's screwing my SGZEngine project up, even if I did somewhat plagiarize Orkie's Makefiles somewhat
