Caanoo / WIZ Clutter Library For The Wiz ?

[scachi]

Is anyone able and willing to compile the clutter toolkit with opengles for the Wiz ?

It would be great to use it for some good looking animated graphical user interfaces.

from what i've seen it should be possible - as there's a native egl backend available. i don't know if i get the time, but i'll try to find some free minutes and give it a try - because it really looks useful

I would have your babies if you got Clutter working on Wiz, crow ..

 

[crow_riot]

wow that lib has lots of dependencies - at the first glance i thought it only has dependency to opengl :blink:
so this is not a quick port - it may take a while, but at least i'm trying it... and normally i don't give up if i see light at the end of the tunnel

 

[crow_riot]

i hate cross compilation ... i'm stuck at the moment with building gettext lib using the openwiz toolchain. it configure's fine but make just exits with error[1] or something like that. <_<

 

[crow_riot]

one step further, another error ... 'rpl_unsetenv' not found while linking the test apps ... really frustrating <_<

if anyone got gettext cross-compiled i'd be glad for some hints+tips!

 

[crow_riot]

ok i got the gettext-runtime compiled now, the tools still wont compile but i dont care because they're not needed anyway ... and also i made another step forward, glib (another dependency) seems to have compiled now, too .... ufftsa. i take tiny steps ... but there's still progress, so i dont give up. yet.

Hey crow_riot,

really nice progress. Thank you very much for all your hard work
and for your status updates, I really appreciate it.

Hey crow_riot,

really nice progress. Thank you very much for all your hard work
and for your status updates, I really appreciate it.

you're welcome. it's some nice distraction ...

just that u know, i'm using the openwiz linux toolchain... i never installed one of the official ones, they just came out too late for me but i think if it runs with the openwiz one, it shouldnt be much hassle to get it working with others

 

[crow_riot]

seems that everything is compiled now! B)

i dont know yet if they work, but at least compilation worked with the native gles backend - i cannot start with making final tests before next week, cause i'm off for a festival from tomorrow on. but maybe the weekend after this one i'll have something for you ready!

one thing that is still missing is libts support - i've already compiled a version for the wiz quite a time ago, so integrating this will not be a problem...

stay tuned

 

[crow_riot]

so just a tiny update here. clutter basically initializes on the wiz using it's GLES backend. but it crashes with a segmentation fault when using g_signal_emit from glib. i have not clue why this happenes, but i'll continue to track it down. maybe it's just some memory alignment issue or whatever. we'll see ...

 

[crow_riot]

i finally got clutter run, no crash anymore. my simplest app works now (gray clearscreen) ...

the problem was/is that default texture setup doesnt work. i have not tried to create any other texture yet, but that shouldnt be too difficult to fix.

 

[Jan-Nik]

Good job!

 

[crow_riot]

thanks.

but the next issue is evolving... the touchscreen doesn't initialize correctly! omg this is so PITA! 'couldnt load module pthres' ... whatever... <_<

the story continues...

*edit*

if anyone knows how to overcome the above error let me know pls. i've compiled tslib from the latest sources, may this be a problem?

*edit2*

solved. linked to the wiz's libts.

Hi crow_riot

What is the status of this project? Any change you could upload to the archives? Have you managed/tried to compile this for the Caanoo as well? I am working on a new menu system myself, so this would be quite nice, if it is manageable.

[crow_riot]

oh well, it's on the same status as in june. seems scachi lost interest and so did i. but if you need it, i can pick it up and do the last fixes. the only thing that was not working was textures

 

[u9i]

What version is it?

I don't want you to start working on it only for me. I don't want to be a burden Especially when it comes to the Caanoo, it only gets the time i have left over from the week, so it could take long before i can show anything. But could you try to see if it is a quick recompile to get it running on the Caanoo?

Anyway, I will try clutter on my pc first, so i can tell you if it is worth pursuing, and if i get anything i am happy with, i will let you know We also still have not found a way around gph's unwritable nand, so a new menu still cannot be installed. Lets hope pickle can talk some sense into them.
