Help with dynamic menus

Hello all:

Now that dvdnav is working in MplayerGS, the next thing I want to work
on is "language" and "angle" selections and a "DVD navigator"
menu. However, I am not too sure how to do the dynamic menus. Can some
one point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Charles

[ANN] MplayerGS 0.6

Hello all:

I am please to announce the release of MplayerGS 0.6.

1. What is it?

   MplayerGS is a frontend to Mplayer which was originally a port of
   Mplayer OSX. However, it has changed since then.

2. Notable changes since the last release

   a. Revamped menu structure  

   b. Implimented mouse support in dvdnav

   c. More filetypes added

3. How to get it?

   I have registered this as a project at Savanah. However, it will take
   a few day to see whether it is accepted. In the mean time if you want
   the source, please email me.

Thank you for you attention.

Charles

window frame


Hi,

just a quick check if anyone has seen the following problem and can advise me on it. I have some windows
created with Gorm and I wanted to save their frames and locations to the defaults system, like so:

[window setFrameUsingName: @"MyWindow"];
[window setFrameAutosaveName: @"MyWindow"];

This didn't work. It would always save the frame that corresponded to the origin and the size from the .gorm file.

Finally I decided to print the frame of the window to stderr with NSLog and  discovered that even though I
resized the window in the application interactively, the value of [window frame] never changed! It
always stayed at the values from the .gorm. E.g. when I resize the window to cover the entire screen, the
value of [window frame] would still be the frame from the .gorm.

My question is, has anyone seen this, is there some mistake I'm making or is this a bug?

Best regards,

Marko

This line is just:

return [NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

Error for such a basic call points to a problem with init sequence  
(main() wizardry) or compile/link flags.  When I was working on  
Emacs.app and GNUstep the hardest part was getting the compile and  
link lines to look like what happens when you invoke gnustep-make  
(which can't be used for emacs due to its own big build system).

Lines 99-103 in compile try to get things set up properly (backed up  
by configure.in) and followed by Makefile.in (search for "GNUSTEP" in  
those files).  There have been changes in GNUstep from time to time  
that needed to be adjusted for in the past, and the methods there  
might be failing now.

Help with the authors of a couple of apps

Hello all:

Does anyone remember who ported MplayerOSX to GNUstep which became
MplayerGS? I would like to know so I can give credit in the Info panel-
it is not in the source.

Also, have anyone heard from Daniel Luederwald the author of MPDCon? I
emailed his last known email address with no reply.

Charles

I am still getting the error, this time with Emacs cvs. What is the best way
to debug this? I tried putting gdb before "$MAKE" but it produces no
back trace:

,----[ Output from gdb ]
|  Program exited with code 02.

I have included this in case some one on the gnustep user list can shed
some light on it:

cd ../lisp; gmake -w autoloads EMACS=../src/bootstrap-emacs

Future of MplayerGS

Fabien:

Are you planning on doing anything with MplayerGS? If not, I would like
to set it up as a real project at Savanah (there is a couple of things I
want to do with it.

Also, just to let everyone know, I am in the early stages of rewriting
ShengGuang to use Mplayer as the back end. This way we will have more
codecs support and video for free.

Regards,
Charles

Podcast FLOSS Weekly

Hello,

For general interest the list might be interested in this interview  
with Dan  Ingalls http://twit.tv/floss29 . Dan was on the team that  
created Smalltalk in Zerox PARC.

I was also thinking that it would be great for gnustep to get some  
exposure on this show. Does anybody from gnustep want to approach this  
podcast and be interviewed? I think it is quite likely that gnustep  
could get on a show soon. I have listened to this podcast for a number  
of weeks and have noticed that they don't always have 'good' guests.  
For example, the latest show is a bit of a 'skip' episode (well for me  
anyway), it's just an interview with a CEO using running a commercial  
open-source project.

I find the shows which are most interesting are the ones where they  
interview people on the front line of open-source and tech/programming  
etc... I think gnustep would be a great show!

Cheers,

Dan.

Gorm class parser.


Hi folks,

I have come across a problem in the classloader of Gorm.app. I ask your understanding when I say it is not
terribly sophisticated. I had noticed that declarations of several instance variables of the same type
like so

NSMutableArray *a1, *a2,

would confuse it, resulting in corrupted outlet lists, so now I always write

NSMutableArray *a1;
NSMutableArray *a2;

Now I have another, more serious problem: it appears that the parser will consider everything an outlet
that contains the string "id", e.g.

NSMutableDictionary *namesToPids;

will cause "namesToPids" to appear in the outlet list. This is an annoying problem and I don't think not to
use the string "id" in variable names is an acceptable solution (though using "namesToPIDs" will fix it).

Anyhow I hope you can replicate this, if not, please accept my apologies.

BTW does GNUstep have a regexp libary yet that offers, say Perl-compatible regular expressions with
different enodings (utf8 ...)?

Best regards,

Marko

That is great. We need applications!

MplayerGS appears not to be in the new GNUstep Software Index yet.
Please can you add updates there as well?
