Re: How to read a .xml file?
Hi, Thank you for your response. I am able to execute and include file, but when I tried to include , it is giving compilation error as below: main.c:8:30: libxml/xmlreader.h: No such file or directory libxml2 library is installed in my machine. I executed "find" command to search for xmlreader.h file. It displayed the below results: /usr/include/libxml2/libxml/xmlreader.h /scratchbox/users/mouli/targets/CHINOOK_ARMEL/usr/include/libxml2/libxml/xmlreader.h /scratchbox/users/mouli/targets/CHINOOK_X86/usr/include/libxml2/libxml/xmlreader.h How can I do this?

Video Encoding (most probably revisited many times)
I have been unable to encode ANY video for the N810 on a Mac. Ive played with ffmpegX, mencoder, Handbrake, etc. Ive tried keeping resolutions small (Im trying a 240x182 px movie right now). Ive tried creating various movie files encoded with various codecs inside an AVI container and nothing works at all. Most of the 'nice' encoding tools Ive seen are all for Windows.

Re: [ISSUE] Maemo Help framework
Hi,
damn me!
"The context string is defined by the attribute contextUID and must follow
the format xxx_filename_yyy, where filename must be exactly the name of the
XML file (without the extension)."
Works.
Sorry to bother :)

Hi,
I am back home and playing with the Help framework again.
Forget the second mail. Osso help is old stuff (and is still in the How To
write new application howto!).
I only have hildon-help.h and no osso help.
So playing with it now...
But, now one here that knows how to hint me ?

Even 128MB is tight. But, I mean it is possible to increase the amount of memory available for a 770 using an MMC card, right?. I am not sure what the upper limit is but 128MB + 64MB of system memory seems feasible. There is even some nice GUI tab to do this in the control panel IIRC so you don't need to get your hands dirty if you do not want to. Granted this memory is not as fast as the system memory and there are plenty of JavaScript/Flash horror stories out there in the wild to trip the device up but this does not seem like 'the issue' we are talking about to me.

Re: [ISSUE] Maemo Help framework
Hi,
looks like the on-line documentation needs a lot of work on it.
the Maemo Help Framework howto is outdated, so is the maemopad package.
while waiting before the lesson i decided to go read other pieces of
the on-line documentation.
the
How to Write New Applications in maemo 4.0
document states I should use the ossohelp_show function and even
redirects me to the former help framework howto!!
I will check later if this helps.

Whilst this may be true it also highlights something else. More recent software was never really *planned* to be running on a 770. Maybe if this had been considered at the time some of the HW and SW effects could have been ameliorated to some extent. ? Perhaps this has its origins in Nokia being a mobile phone company and not an Ubuntu or Red Hat or type of company. Mobile phones are often seen as disposable/throw away items so support for backwards compatibility was not seen as crucial (either to profits or the users experience). Unix/Linux hackers and power users (especially those working in low and resource constrained embedded environments) do not think in the same way [1] (at least in my experience) so there is a certain disconnect involved. Maybe it is just the price we are paying for a more mainstream acceptance of Linux which companies like Nokia can bring but in any case it is certainly a pretty 'current' topic of conversation [2] Regards Ian [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy [2] http://www.linux.com/feature/132203 -- http://ianlawrence.info ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Armel is coming to Debian Lenny, it wasn't there when (last SW release of) 770 was released. Lenny binary packages are compiled with newer GCC & Glibc so their dependencies cannot be satisfied on 770 which software is (now) older. In source compilation the issue is that Lenny requires newer build tools than the Debian Etch tools used in our SDK.

[ISSUE] Maemo Help framework
Hi,
I am again bugging the list with another issue I am going to solve.
This time with the help framework.
I did write my xournal.xml help file, here is an excerpt of interest for the
issue I am describing:
Xournal
1. Introduction
Xournal is an application for notetaking,
sketching, keeping a journal using a stylus. It is free software (GNU GPL)
and runs on Maemo, desktop Linux (recent distributions) and other GTK+/Gnome
platforms. It is similar to Microsoft Windows Journal or to other
alternatives such as Jarnal and Gournal.
This xournal.xml file is stored correctly into /usr/share/osso-help/en_GB
and en_US
(the tablet is set as en_US)
main function:
osso_context_t *ctx;
ctx = osso_initialize (PACKAGE, VERSION, TRUE, NULL);
g_assert (ctx);
g_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT(xournalHelp), "activate",
G_CALLBACK (on_HildonHelp_activate),
"help_introduction");
...
This is the code in the callback function (it is correctly called)
on_HildonHelp_activate:
on_HildonHelp_activate (GtkWidget *widget, gchar *help_id) {
..
retval = hildon_help_show(ctx, /* global osso_context */
help_id, /* topic id */
HILDON_HELP_SHOW_DIALOG);
..
}
where "help_id" is correctly passed as "help_introduction" from the menu
item signal
and the ctx is a global osso_context_t * pointer (the one returned by
osso_initialize);
Guess what ?
No help widget is shown.
Yeah, I know.. this is very similar to the Help Framework HOWTO, is it ? :)
One more thing. I did also check the maemopad example, but its Makefile
stores
the help file in the /usr/share/hildon-help folder rather than osso-help,
thus I guess
that help is wrong or outdated.
Anyway when the MaemoPad.xml was stored in the hildon-help folder, it
behaved as
Xournal. Click on the menu item and it doesn't show anything at all.
If I copy the MaemoPad.xml file to the correct folder in osso-help (en_GB
and en_US
to be sure) a balloon appears telling me that that topic does not exist
(even if it does, I checked).
What's wrong ?

Re: hildon_color_button & custom colors issue
Hi, this may help other people when working with RGBA values. I did indeed solved the problem. Anyway.. the first issue below happened because I was running Xournal from root in an SSH remote shell. Thus, probably, colormaps were wrong. Running it the usual way (from the Menu) fixed a bit things. The GdkColor returned by the hildon color chooser was, when drawn on the canvas, slightly different from the one showed in the button itself. I think it looked darker. After digging a bit I figured out that the GdkColor RGB values where RGB16 (guint16) while I needed the RGB8 format. Thus, I had to first divide red, green and blue by 255 before putting them into a single guint value (RGBA) in the form of 0xRRGGBBAA. guint rgba = GNOME_CANVAS_COLOR_A (color->red / 255.0, color->green / 255.0, color->blue / 255.0, alpha) Is that the correct explanation ? -- anidel On Tue, Apr 15, 2008 at 8:16 PM, Aniello Del Sorbo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I reply to myself. > I was testing the app running it from a remote SSH (root) and not from the > user's Menu. > > It works. > Thanks anyway. > > Aniello > > > On Tue, Apr 15, 2008 at 5:50 PM, Aniello Del Sorbo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > while porting Xournal to Maemo I decided to give it as much > > hildonization is possible. > > Base xournal uses only a bunch of predefined colors (something like 9 or > > 10 colors). > > > > I decided to use the hildon_color_button widget to give the user a much > > wide choice of colors. > > I get the GdkColor from the color button and have to convert it in RGBA > > because Xournal only works with those values > > (passing "fill-color-rgba" to the canvas items).
