If you want to load the vision2 library you should use Eiffel Studio 5.6 as running any vision2 project on Eiffel Studio 5.7 ends in a segmentation fault and the up to date versions can't read any acex files yet.

Introduction

Have a look at the description made for the WEL library. The same applies to EiffelVision2.

Resources

Unicode

Development Package

Linux

I assembled a little workbench wich can be used with EiffelStudio 5.6 to make our changes to vison2 and/or base. You can get it here and open it in EiffelStudio.

Windows

Needs to be done by one of our Windows gurus.

Milestones

M1: April 25th

M2: May ???

  • implement multi screen support for Vision: Multi screen support
  • collaborate with the internationalization team
  • write a decent STRING_32 implementation for
    • string comparisons
    • lower/upper case conversion
    • some of it is already in Gobo but not completely as efficient as it should
  • To be completed by the team


Team

Everyone interested in this project is welcome to join our mailinglist es-vision@origo.ethz.ch

Vision2 Ace file

Linux:

  • You find the vision2 ace file in the subdirectory $ISE_EIFFEL/precomp/spec/linux-x86/vision2/

Windows:

  • You find the vision2 ace file in the subdirectory %EIFFEL-ROOT%/precomp/library/spec/windows/vision2/

Instead of loading just the vision2 ace file it's more usefull (at least while getting to know the code) to create a new project that uses the vision2 libraries

Communication

We agreed to communicate via IRC (orwell.freenode.net/es-vision). For Windows user there are different programs available. For example:

Linux user (for ex.) one of the following

  • xchat
  • irssi (console-app.)

after downloading and installing, you can connect to a server with the command

/server <serveradress>

where <serveradress> is (for ex.) orwell.freenode.net (more freenode servers).

to enter our channel, type:

/join #es-vision

also you can set/change your nickname with

/nick <new_nick>

where <new_nick> is you nickname.
