=Overview=
+
The goal of this project is to provide Vision with a cocoa backend to make it truly native on the mac.
+
For more information please refer to the [[Talk:Cocoa_for_EiffelVision2|discussion page]]. See also [[OSX_release_infrastructure]].

[http://n.ethz.ch/student/dfurrer/files/ev.png  A state of the art OS X Window]

+
=Milestones=
+
 
+
==M1: April 25th==
+
* get EiffelStudio 5.7 compiled under OS X
+
 
+
==M2: May==
+
* Create a GTK based .app package
+
 
+
==M3: end of May==
+
* Get a Vision window displayed with a Carbon window (involves eventloop porting)
+

= Current Status =
+
'''23.06:''' In the current SVN Version of the Vision2 Library (Carbon Implemetation), a few functions (including show, resizing...) of the window, the button and the EV_FIXED are working. Another important Milstone is, that we managed to handle events and to run an Event Loop.   
+
 
+
'''10.06:''' We have now striped down a copy of the gtk vision implementation and started to implement the first few features. The code is still ugly, but you can get it here.  [http://n.ethz.ch/student/dfurrer/files/carbon_start.zip]. A screen shot is at the top of this page :)
+
 
+
'''02.06:''' You can get the simple Carbon example Application, which we try to build in vision, here [http://n.ethz.ch/student/upeter/download/carbon_port/]
+
 
+
'''09.05:''' We have now delegated some tasks:
+
* Eiffel Media Package for Mac (Roland)
+
* GTK based .app package, probably universal (Dani & Maeli)
+
* 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.
+
 
+
=Documents=
+
I collected a few Documents with introductions to carbon widgets and the carbon event Loop and also a part of the API Refference [http://n.ethz.ch/student/upeter/download/carbon_port/Dokus/].
+
 
+
=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
+
<pre>svn co https://eiffelsoftware.origo.ethz.ch/svn/es/branches/soft-arch/Src/library/vision2</pre>
+
 
+
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
+
<pre>geant c_build_library_ise</pre> in the $ISE_LIBRARY_CARBON/library/vision2/implementation/carbon/wrapper directory.
+
 
+
You should then be able to compile and run a simple EV application lile our example project which you can get here: http://n.ethz.ch/student/dfurrer/files/vision4mac/simple_demo_app.zip
