* Look into Carbon application development (Ueli)
+
−
* Look into wrapping Carbon headers with EWG (Jann)

It also seems that using Carbon instead of Cocoa is more realistic for this project, so we'll primarily look into Carbon now.

'''06.05:''' We now have a graphical version of ES 5.7 running on OS X (both ppc and intel). The problem was with the fontconfig libraray: The 2.3.2 version seems to crash where the 2.2.3 works fine. There are still a few problems with fonts sizes though...

From what Jann tells me self compilation is also no problem anymore so we can really start hacking the beast now.

−
'''30.4''': We have EiffelStudio compiled for ppc and running on ppc and intel macs. The Gtk+ GUI works more or less but some things (like wizards) are missing atm.
+
−
It required a lot of hacking and we're now trying to get newer builds, and streamline the process for getting a build on the mac.
+
−
I think the next goal should be to get a self-compiling version of ec so that we can skip building the f_code on linux and then adopt the build-script.

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.

Screenshots

01.09.06: widgets-example: ev_notebook aka. tabs

01.09.06: widgets-example: progress bar, tree, frames

15.08.06: Mill: Showing off pixmaps and the menu bar

A Simple Vision2 Application running with the Carbon Imp

A state of the art OS X Window

Latest Updates

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]

11.08: After a short break due to the exam session (and a few weeks of holidays ;)) we have started to work on the project again as part of our semester thesis supervised by Till G. Bay. We also have a Task / Bug tracker now.

older updates...

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

Our Task tracker is available here (powered by flyspray).

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
