Re: [Chicken-users] qt & dbus eggs
Ah, you're right. I made chicken-qt depend on just libqt4-maemo5-core, I'll add in the other packages as well. This will do the trick (it's overkill, but they're optified so it doesn't really matter; I'll figure out which subset is actually required): apt-get install libqt4-appdownloader-comm libqt4-assistant libqt4-core libqt4-dbus libqt4-designer libqt4-gui libqt4-help libqt4-maemo5-core libqt4-maemo5-dbus libqt4-maemo5-gui libqt4-maemo5-maemo5 libqt4-maemo5-network libqt4-maemo5-opengl libqt4-maemo5-script libqt4-maemo5-svg libqt4-maemo5-test libqt4-maemo5-xml libqt4-network libqt4-opengl libqt4-phonon libqt4-script libqt4-sql libqt4-sql-sqlite libqt4-svg libqt4-test libqt4-webkit libqt4-xml libqt4-xmlpatterns Andrei On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 02:18, Matthew Welland wrote: > > I need to update something on the n900? > > Error: (load) unable to load compiled module > "/usr/lib/chicken/5/qt.so" > "libQtMaemo5.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" > > Call history: > > (##core#begin (##sys#load-library (quote > utils) #f)) > (##sys#load-library (quote utils) #f) > (quote utils) > (##core#begin (##core#begin > (##core#undefined)) (##core#undefined)) > (##core#begin (##core#undefined)) > (##core#undefined) > (##core#undefined) > (##sys#require (quote qt)) <-- > > On Wednesday 07 April 2010 10:08:54 pm Andrei Barbu wrote: >> On Wed, Apr 7, 2010 at 23:33, Matthew Welland wrote: >> > On Wednesday 07 April 2010 01:23:16 pm Andrei Barbu wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> >> >> I'm working on getting chicken into shape for writing applications on >> >> the Nokia N900.

You can just do an apt-get update; apt-get install chicken-sqlite3 . The tests included in the egg all passed on my n900. I haven't had a need to make a long term plan for other eggs yet. Obviously pulling them into my repository is a really bad idea, since the vast majority won't need any changes. The procedure for creating new eggs is really easy though, cd to the repository, chicken-install -r name, debianize-egg/debianize-egg name, if that fails see what dependency caused it to fail, rise and repeat, and you end up with a bunch of debs. I think I'll write a quick script tomorrow to automate the recursive fetching and pushing into the deb repository, that should pretty much do it for most of the eggs, and it'll let me purge a few of them from my source repository.

FreeBasic uses the gcc toolchain, except that it generates x86 assembly language suitable for gas(1) rather than C. It can therefore generate compatible shared libraries.

[Chicken-users] qt & dbus eggs
Hi, I'm working on getting chicken into shape for writing applications on the Nokia N900. I've made a lot of changes to the qt egg over the past few weeks if anyone is interested in a upgraded version. Some highlights: - support for qobject attributes - qvariantlist and qvariant are supported so interfacing with qt is a lot more natural - removed the simple receiver and replaced it with an object that crafts the correct slot on request - arbitrary number of arguments to slots and support for some common argument types (although notably pointers aren't yet handled) - invoking arbitrary qt methods/signals/slots - support for qt-maemo (stackable windows and various information boxes) - it now builds in c++ so that making bindings is faster - qt-dbus is now supported so that polling isn't required, it too works with an arbitrary number of arguments and provides all of the basic capabilities: receiving/sending dbus signals, method invocation, and exposing methods over dbus - 0% cpu usage when idle so it's battery-friendly - it's debianized along with its dependencies so that it can be deployed to the n900 - ported the dbus egg to version 4 qt-networking support should be in later today/tomorrow. The updated qt & dbus eggs along with debianized versions of their dependencies (easyffi, foreigners, matchable, miscmacros, protobj, silex, and test) are at: http://0xab.com/code/n900-chicken.git There's also a tiny script for quickly debianizing eggs with correct dependencies, perhaps someone is interested in reviving the debianization effort. The qt egg is still a work in progress and there's a lot that needs to change. It's stable and runs all of the examples (modulo api changes) from the svn egg, it has a superset of the features, as well as a new test suite. If there's any interest I can submit patches against the svn version (for qt and/or dbus). I'm new to low-level hacking with chicken, I'd appreciate any comments if I've abused the ffi/gc in some horrendous/unsafe way. If anyone else that has an n900 and wants to play with chicken, it's easy. Take a look at http://0xab.com/n900 . I have a debian repository with optified versions of chicken, chicken-qt and friends, along with some example programs for it that show off things like stackable windows and screen rotation. As soon as I figure out how you document eggs these days I'll put up some docs as well.
