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: May 19th

• finally found a working and up to date version of Eiffel Studio and Vision 2

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

Communication

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

• HydraIRC
• mirc

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.
