GCC slowness... problem solved

[Ed: Milan solved the speed problem for g++, here is what he wrote on devel-list]
Hi all,

Today I tried building FlameRobin with MSVC Express. It works really
nice and it builds FR from scratch in about 2.5 minutes on this
machine where I tried it (Intel Celeron M 1.4GHz with 256MB RAM). This
in on Windows XP Pro with all anti-virus and similar software turned
off.

Then I tried on Linux (it's a dual boot machine) and GCC took 272
seconds, i.e. 4.5 minutes. Both compilers are using PCH. I got really
frustrated about this in the past, so much that I considered to
install Windows on my machine and do FR development there.

But, I suddenly got the idea that GCC might be losing too much time
optimizing. So, I tried to lover the optimization from level 2 to
level 1. I got slight improvement: 225 seconds. Still too slow. Then I
turned it off, and I got the amazing 130 seconds, i.e. 2:10. This is
quite acceptable to development and I guess I'll only use -O2 when we
build the release versions from now on.

The option can be changed by setting CXXFLAGS environment variable
before you run 'configure' script. Something like this (if your shell
is bash):

$ export CXXFLAGS=
$ ../configure ...
$ make

It looks like GCC isn't that bad after all.

Flamerobin code used with wxLua

I never used wx's ODBC classes; I'm using SQLite3 (via wxSQLite3) / FireBird (via IBPP) databases. I already have -hand written- Lua bindings of wxSQLite3 and IBPP. In a recent C++ project, I used wxGrid/FireBird (code taken from FlameRobin); I like it. Now I want to test/use them with wxLua.

Displaying multiline text and blobs

Milan wrote on the mailing lists :

I have implemented the ability to show blob data in the grid and now the
need to show multiline text has increased. I have some ideas about it,
but I'd like to see as much possible feedback as I believe many users
are using multiline text columns. Here are the ideas of UI to cover
it:

a) show tooltip while mouse hovers over cells
b) show tooltip on some user action (like double-click)
c) have a separate subwindow (split grid or sql editor adding another
column to it) which stays on screen until user closes (hides) it
d) have a separate window/dialog that would only show the data

c) and d) is something I plan for Blobs with tabs for
text/hex/image/etc. representation, so maybe it is the best idea for
text as well? Such dialog could have some options like 'save to file'
and similar.

Please give any comment or your own idea. I might even set up a
website poll if we can't figure out what is the best solution.

Thanks,

FlameRobin 0.8.3 released

We've rolled out a new release as promised, mostly bugfixes with some important improvements in efficiency(faster work over slow links, faster processing of long SQL statements and more responsive data grid when used with large datasets), please download it and try it. We have binary packages for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and sources, of course. This is a bugfix release for 0.8.1. Here are the things fixed in 0.8.3.

wxWidgets 3.0

However soon -- hopefully in the beginning of the next year -- we will release wxWidgets 3.0 which will be the first change of major version since a long time and only the second time it happens in wxWidgets history. So it may be interesting to look at what exactly has changed to warrant this and I'll try to briefly describe it in this post.
[Hurray we will get rid of wxT() macro in code ]

Windows test builds

I will be posting test builds of the SVN code for Windows (Ansi and Unicode versions) from time to time. You will be able to find them at the test-builds directory of the FlameRobin website.

The first available version is built from SVN trunk, revision 1522.

Just unzip the proper version (vc/flamerobin.exe for Windows 95 and 98, vcu/flamerobin.exe for Windows 2000, XP and Vista) into your program directory. The builds are for testing new features and may have bugs, so if you depend on FlameRobin and want to make sure that you can go back to the last official version, just rename the original executable instead of overwriting it.

Mandriva 2008 errata with new flamerobin 0.8.1 included

Various crasher bugs in Flamerobin

The version included with Mandriva Linux 2008 of Flamerobin, a database administration tool, contained various bugs that could potentially lead to crashes.

We have chosen to fix this issue by providing a new release through the /contrib/updates repository. The updated package, flamerobin-0.8.1-1mdv2008.0, was released on October 23rd 2007. It provides version 0.8.1, which fixes several of these crasher bugs. See the "Installing Updates" section, above, for instructions on installing packages from /contrib/updates.

install firbird 2.0.2 and flamerobin on ubuntu dapper LTS version (amd64)

I have been a big fan of the Firebird database for a while now. It is a fast, reliable and maintenance free database which suits my needs. While it is very good at a couple of things, one of the features that I like is the fact that the entire database is stored in one file. In principle this is not important, but it is pretty clean and can be very useful.

FlameRobin worth $1.2 milion

I added FlameRobin to ohloh.net. It took our code from repository and calculated the development cost: 1.200.000 USD. Wow, I guess nobody would want to invest that kind of money into FR, but we invested our time/work instead :)

New testing version is here

I rebuilt FR against wxWidgets 2.8.4, with only one small change: In
Ansi build the fr_databases.conf file is saved now with the system
character set. The conversion to and from UTF-8 does not work in the
Ansi build, anyway, so all characters >= 128 (like umlaut chars) where
mangled.

I hope these work for all of you, but please make a backup copy of your
fr_databases.conf file *before* you test the new executables. Please
find them at

http://www.flamerobin.org/mghie/FR_0.7.7_wx2.8.4.zip>

and check them out. Should work much better than the build against CVS
HEAD, and could be a good test for using 2.8.4 for the next official
FlameRobin build.

Thanks for any feedback

Keyboard shortcuts for advanced users ?

Eugen Stoianovici wrote on the flamerobin-devel lists :

First of all, i've been using flamerobin ever since i've switched from postgress to firebird(some time last spring or summer) and it's great .
Are there any keyboard shortcuts implemented in flamerobin's main window?

It would be great if i could use my mouse less than now. Here's what i have in mind
:
main window
1. Shortcut for registering new server
2. Shortcut for registering new database
3. Shortcut for running a query
4. Shortcut for disconnect

query window

1. Shortcut for new window

I'ld be more than happy to implement these features but instead of diving right into coding, i wanted to ask for an unified view on this matter

flamerobin 0.7.5 available in Gentoo

I recently committed an ebuild for FlameRobin 0.7.5 into Gentoo's
portage repository. Should sync to mirrors in a few hours and users can
then

emerge flamerobin on Gentoo

I have had an ebuild for FlameRobin since 0.4.8. I posted to the list
long ago about it I believe. I became a dev a few months back, and not
sure why I did not think to commit it sooner.

The ebuild is masked/keyworded unstable/experimental. Although it's been
stable for me on both x86, and amd64 for some time. In 30 days or so,
baring any bug reports. I will file stabilization requests with the arch
teams.

Thanks for all the hard work on a great tool. Hopefully this will help
to increase the user base a bit, so your work can be appreciated by even
more.

flamerobin @ Firebird Conference 2006

Hi guys,

I'd like to know who (if any) of you plans to go to this year's
conference. Nando? Michael? Marius maybe? Olivier? I know Olivier's
paper was not accepted unfortunately. I know that Fikret is going to be
there.

As for my talks, none of them is about FlameRobin directly, but both
will touch it. Esp. the session about cross platform development with
wxWidgets and IBPP:

Using stuff from FR, I made a minimal program structure (bakefile,
makefiles, etc.) that enables anyone to have a quick start when creating
new applications with IBPP and wxWidgets. The program allows you to type
the project name, and it does search&replace on all files, giving you an
empty project where you can easily add new .cpp and .h files to the
bakefile.

I plan to add this as a module to flamerobin svn tree. It would be
called "template" or something like that. I hope you guys agree with this?

Once online, I'd appreciate if someone would find the time to test if
this "minimal sample" work with MSVC and work on MacOSX, as I don't have
access to them.

As a result, anyone who wants to start a new project with wxWidgets and
IBPP (i.e. developing cross-platform GUI app. for Firebird) would have
an easy start.

flamerobin package status on other marchitectures

[when firebird will be ready on all other architectures we will have an flamerobin build on them too , my dream is flamerobin+firebird on nokia770]

An empty cell means that there is no buildd information for that package version on that arch; this is normally because the package is arch:all or the arch has been told to ignore the package by the buildd admins. The number after a "Needs build" is the position in the queue.

flamerobin on solaris x86

Tamas TEVESZ announced flamerobin for solaris x86
so, i've got something that may even be tested, if there are any
takers, that is.

tarball is at
http://dawn.dev.hu/~ice/tmp/flr/flamerobin-0.7.5-SunOS5.10-i386.tar.gz
md5 hash de268b6d27ae6ac988cac7df5925733d
screenshot is at
http://dawn.dev.hu/~ice/tmp/flr/flamerobin-on-solaris.png

its a simple tarball; when untarred, `pwd`/flamerobin/flamerobin
should just work. it was compiled on solaris 5.10 i86pc, and (if i
didn't screw it up), needs "only" the following packages from the
solaris media (ie. no thirdparty dependencies):

SUNWTiff SUNWcslr SUNWfontconfig
SUNWfreetype2 SUNWgccruntime SUNWgnome-base-libs
SUNWjpg SUNWlexpt SUNWlibmsr
SUNWmlib SUNWpng SUNWxorg-clientlibs
SUNWxwplt SUNWxwrtl SUNWxwxft
SUNWzlib

(i sorta think anything more than core solaris includes these, at
least most of them).

tarball includes a copy of wx 2.6 and fbclient.so from firebird
2.0rc4, all stripped.

basically, after i gave up on using the workshop compiler, it was
pretty straightforward with gcc (the one bundled with s10);
technically, wx and flamerobin itself (apart from a few trivial
issues) didn't have much problem with workshop, but i horribly failed
at compiling firebird with suncc, and did so many times (as an added
bonus, it seems that linking g++- and CC-compiled objects together is
the perfect recipe for disaster). the problem with that is that as
long as i can't compile firebird with workshop, there isn't any point
(or even way) to do this to flamerobin. does anyone have good
connections at firebird dev? :>

issues prevail, though; for example, asking for database properties
immediately crashes flamerobin. is anyone interested in looking at it?
my c++-debugging skills are next to non-existent. also, if anyone
wants the debug binaries, i'm happy to tar 'em up.

Installing/Building Flamerobin on Ubuntu or Debian

Here is one blog on how to rebuild the flamerobin 0.7.5 package in ubuntu/debian

..:: FlameRobin ::..:: Firebird ::..:: Debian ::..:: Ubuntu ::..:: Linux ::..

FlameRobin on Solaris

Tamas TEVESZ has decided to try to make Flamerobin work on Solaris:

http://dawn.dev.hu/~ice/tmp/flamerobin-on-solaris.png

"there isn't much else to say about it, apart from "don't get too
excited". it literally needs an iron lung, and even then it crashes
on every second click.

getting that far wasn't particularly hard, though. you need to compile
a wx (for the blastwave package does not include wx-contrib, but i'll
get in touch with the maintainer once i get back from my optometrist
in the afternoon), and you need to install a firebird package which
can be gotten from ibphoenix.com; except that don't install it for it
stinks, its ugly, and it won't work properly anyway. it was enough to
get fbclient.so, though.

well, after all that said, it's still in a much better shape than i
hoped. to be continued, but hold your breath do not."

Google Code - Project Name Conflict

[nice feature for google code hosting , if your oss project already exists on the sf.net then they give you an warning about it ]

The project name that you entered conflicts with one that is reserved. [flamerobin in our case]

The most common reason for a project name to be reserved is that it is already being used on another open source project hosting site. Having a different project with the same name could be confusing to user and detrimental to the existing project.Sometimes when two developers think of the same name, it is because they have the same goal in mind. You might want to familiarize yourself with the existing project, and consider whether it would be better to work with them rather than create a potentially similar project of your own.

svk - svn ++

[In case you have connection problems with svn/cvs servers , you can try svk (is working over svn) .

SVK let clkao mirror remote Subversion repositories, create local branches, hack while offline and later resynchronize his changes with the upstream Subversion servers. SVK is the best version control system for getting your work done while you're hiking in the mountains. It just so happens that what makes SVK wonderful when you're soaking in the hot springs makes it an excellent platform for getting your work done halfway around the world, on an airplane, in a cafe or in your office .]

creating an flamerobin/firebird live cd [DONE]

follow the guide

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization

in the Customization part (after you do sudo chroot edit)
I decomented the two lines in /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe

in the /etc/resolv.conf i have added one nameserver we had on our lan (you need to delete it after you finish customizing the distro)
nameserver 127.0.0.1


before installing firebird is a good idea to stop the firebird on your system
then after you chroot do the following

apt-get install firebird2-super-server firebird2-utils-super ibwebadmin firebird2-examples



install the flamerobin from debian

sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.6-0
wget http://puzzle.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/flamerobin/flamerobin_0.7.2-1_i386.deb
dpkg -i flamerobin_0.7.2-1_i386.deb

At the end when creating the iso , i named it firebird live cd

sudo mkisofs -r -V "$IMAGE_NAME" -cache-inodes -J -l -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o ../firebird-dapper-live-i386.iso .
