Shouldn't git submodule update --init --recursive take care of the jansson dep?

So:

Code:

git clone https://github.com/bzar/panorama.git
cd panorama
git submodule update --init --recursive
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DPANDORA=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install ..
make install
cd install

However, if you build jansson as dynamic lib first. PNDManager won't statically link against it (same for libpndman).

Linux-SWAT · Feb 23, 2014

So what is the procedure order ?

bzar · Feb 23, 2014

The one mentioned above? If you want to use system jansson, build and install it first. If you want to bundle it in the pndmanager plugin, don't.

Linux-SWAT · Feb 23, 2014

To be honest, i don't know what jansson is :^) .

Ok, thanks. Thought it was something coded especially for PNDManager.

Linux-SWAT · Feb 23, 2014

Installed and running.

So the settings.cfg is in the user's folder, not in some ~/.config/pndmanager , which is kinda annoying.

[panorama]
dataDirectory=/usr/bin
uiDirectory=interfaces
ui=PNDManager
fullscreen=false

[PNDManager]
showSplashScreen=false
showHints=true
mouseCursorVisible=false
lastInstallDevice=
lastInstallLocation=
loggingVerbosity=5
ma

ownloads=4
username=
apiKey=
customDevices=

I tried to fill lastInstallLocation= with /pandora/menu , but it didn't work.

bzar · Feb 23, 2014

try customDevices=/

That should get your /pandora stuff added.

The settings.cfg goes to the user home as the monolithic (-DPANDORA) build is made for the PND build, which stores the settings to appdata (eg. $PWD). Your use case actually looks more like a normal install without setting the install prefix nor -DPANDORA. Haven't tried that in ages though

Linux-SWAT · Feb 23, 2014

I used:

export CFLAGS="-DPANDORA -O2 -pipe -mcpu=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp -fPIC -ffast-math"
export CXXFLAGS="-DPANDORA -O2 -pipe -mcpu=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp -fPIC -ffast-math"

I'll try without.

I did customDevices=/

When i push on install in menu (created the /pandora/menu and /pandora/appdata folders with permissions) I got the last repetitive error messages. Nothing installs.

Also, sync is not saved.

bzar · Feb 24, 2014

Okay... That all stems from this part

Adding custom device "/"
@FILE device.c @LINE 379 >> _pndman_device_add
Can't access: /
Invalid custom device "/"

Which fails here. Seems libpndman wants write permissions not only to the pandora directory, but its parent directory as well, probably to be able to create the pandora directory tree if necessary. This could probably be changed to alternatively check if the pandora directory exists and is writable. Typically you have permissions to the parent directory as well, but in case of / that of course doesn't hold.

Linux-SWAT · Feb 24, 2014

Ok, i stay tuned in case there's an update... ^_^

Cloudef · Feb 24, 2014

Seems libpndman wants write permissions not only to the pandora directory, but its parent directory as well, probably to be able to create the pandora directory tree if necessary.

This is the exact reasoning. Typically / is bad place to set custom device.

/ is root and it's systemwide, you should really set some user specific location instead.

Linux-SWAT · Feb 24, 2014

My idea was to use the Slackware card as OS with pnd support on /pandora/menu + pnd card for Zaxxon.

Cloudef · Feb 24, 2014

I guess, I can make it pass the check if there exists writable pandora subdirectory on the device.

I'll do that tomorrow.

Linux-SWAT · Feb 25, 2014

I appreciate.

edgex004 · Feb 25, 2014

Just tried the latest update and it works great. Doesn't let you install if it detects too little space. Disk space updates on start of the PND.

One suggestion I would give for the disk space detection is to update more often. At the moment it only seems to update when you open PNDManager. If possible, as soon as you select to install a PND, it might be nice if it would subtract the size of the PND from the variable you are using for free space.

A more accurate, but more complex reading would be to refresh the free disk space variable each time you reach the install disk selection screen, and subtract the amount of space left on each current download to that card (Unless the correct amount of space is already reserved on the card as soon as the download is started, then this calculation is unnecessary and all you would need to do is refresh your free space reading). This would take into account someone unzipping a file or some such on another desktop and then returning to PNDManager while waiting for a large PND to download.

bzar · Feb 25, 2014

I actually just forgot to add the updating

I'll add it and get Cloudef's libpndman changes and release. Seems to work well enough
