Vision2 Carbon IMP

Overview

The goal of this project is to provide Vision with a Carbon backend to make it truly native on the mac. We have some basic controls working at the moment and we hope to be able get a full native build of EiffelStudio in the coming months. For more information please refer to the discussion page. See also OSX_release_infrastructure.

A state of the art OS X Window

Latest Updates

27.10: After a short break we're back at ETH again and we have started to work on our project again.

01.09: I'm posting two new screenshots, showing the proggress we've made in the last two weeks. We have the widgets example running now which gives us a simple way to do some basic testing with the widgets we have implemented so far.

15.08: While we have made some progress on pixmaps, horizontal/vertical views and the menu I've made a new build of EiffelStudio from the latest PorterPackage. [1]

Documents

I collected a few Documents with introductions to carbon widgets and the carbon event Loop and also a part of the API Refference [2].

Here is some more information we have collected while working on our implementation.

Task / Bug Tracker

Build instructions

Requirements

  • EWG (with EWG environment variable set)
  • GOBO

Build infrastructure

You need a folder x with a subfolder "library". cd into the library folder and checkout the code with the following command

svn co https://eiffelsoftware.origo.ethz.ch/svn/es/branches/soft-arch/Src/library/vision2

Now point the environment variable ISE_LIBRARY_CARBON to the folder x.

Before you can compile a project you need to compile the EWG glue library. You can do this by running

geant c_build_library_ise
in the $ISE_LIBRARY_CARBON/library/vision2/implementation/carbon/wrapper directory.

You should then be able to compile and run a simple EV application like our example project which you can get here: http://n.ethz.ch/student/dfurrer/files/vision4mac/simple_demo_app.zip
