Rats, I see there is a 0.96.2 in the works, so I'm afraid the patches I have won't apply to head. Actually, these are based upon SVN r1245 back gefore Dayton.
Still, I would like to get these out for review. fixup-string-handling.patch plot-2.8-variation.patch GetItemText-2.8-variation.patch preprocess-wx-2.9-features.patch HID-PTT Let me describe these patches in this email, but I will send them as separate emails later. Whereas wxWidgets version 2.9 is a development branch that will stabilize as version 3.0, and whereas there is a great amount of similarity between the 2.8 and 2.9 versions of wxWidgets, I have made a stab at having fdmdv2 code support both versions 2.8 and 2.9 of wxWidgets. Step 1: It seems that with 2.9 it is possible to be a little more sloppy with wxString types. So the fixup-string-handling.patch adds back the discipline on using wxT() and explicit string conversion routines. This is bound to help things stay more robust and avoid bugs. Also, since it is possible to have variations of building wxWidgets that either do or do not support Unicode - this patch helps fdmdv2 work with either mode. Applying fixup-string-handling.patch still results in successful builds under 2.9, while eliminating many problems building with 2.8. Step 2: The various fdmdv2*plot* files have 2.9 only statements. The plot-2.8-variation.patch keeps 2.9 support, and adds 2.8 support - since the changes are relatively minor. Step 3: GetItemText-2.8-variation.patch keeps the same code for the 2.9 case, but for compilation with 2.8 only uses the single argument to GetItemText. This patch needs more testing, but is likely to do the right thing. Step 4: Some 2.9 only code remains in fdmdv2_main after the other issues are taken care of. The preprocess-wx-2.9-features.patch keeps them for 2.9 compilation, but the absence of code for the 2.8 case is likely to cause missing features. I think selecting sound files for record and playback is likely to not work for 2.8. This will need additional attention from gui programmers. And Step 5: I use a CMedia USB sound card and radio interface that does PTT via USB HID. The HID-PTT patch adds the capability to fdmdv2 to use that feature. This patch doesn't care about wxWidgets version at all. Individual patch emails to follow... With all of these patches applied, things still build with wxWidgets 2.9, but the way is prepared to try 2.8 as well. Comments especially welcome from David Rowe, Dave Witten and Richard Shaw - as well as any wxWidgets programmers out there. In the meantime I will be updating these patches to apply to SVN HEAD and 0.96.2 - but this is sent in keeping with the release early, release often code development strategy.
