=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 [[Talk:Cocoa_for_EiffelVision2|discussion page]]. See also [[OSX_release_infrastructure]].

= 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. [http://n.ethz.ch/student/dfurrer/files/vision4mac/EiffelStudio57.app.zip]
+
 
+
'''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 [http://se.inf.ethz.ch/people/bay/ Till G. Bay]. We also have a [http://n.ethz.ch/student/roederja/flyspray/ Task / Bug tracker] now.
+
 
+
'''24.06:''' We have now a simple Vision2 App (two buttons to set the language of the Window Title) running with the Carbon implementation. Have a look to the screenshot on top of the page. or get the vision2 project from here [http://n.ethz.ch/student/upeter/download/carbon_port/simpleWorld.zip] and the carbon implementation from svn.
+
 
+
'''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/].
+
 
+
[[Vision4Mac_Documentation|Here]] is some more information we have collected while working on our implementation.
+
 
+
=Task / Bug Tracker=
+
Our Task tracker is available [http://n.ethz.ch/student/roederja/flyspray/ here] (powered by [http://www.flyspray.rocks.cc 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
+
<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 like our example project which you can get here: http://n.ethz.ch/student/dfurrer/files/vision4mac/simple_demo_app.zip
+
