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.
Vision2 Ace file & Vision2 project
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
In order to get a working vision2 project, follow these steps (at least under linux this seems to be the only way):
- Start Eiffel-Studio (./ec -from_bench) and create a new Vision2 project.
- in the wizard uncheck the box 'Compile the generated project' and click on next -> next.
- select File -> New Project ...
- again, choose to create a vision2 project and click trough the wizard (do not unchek the 'Compile ...' box !)
- Congratulations! You have created a working vision2 project...
(You can delete the project created in step 1)
afaik this has to be done under linux, however I wouldn't wonder if it's necessary under windows too...
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
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.
