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.

firebird conference demo project (wxwidgets+ibpp)

you can download the demo project from here http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/flamerobin/EmptyProject.zip?download

After unpacking, follow the HOWTO.txt for a short step-by-step explanation.

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

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.
