yup.

actually something does happen

*segfault*

you just can't see it.

needs rebuilding with the 2007q3 TC. (or at the very least the kindle 5 and later optimisations need to be ripped out of the build flags and a TC be used that spits out relevant code...)

That's a good plan.

or I may bundle an "all device" version of a few things.

Much obliged.

erm... IIRC the gesture stuff is "scraped" from the logs in much of the work on here.

since the gesture stuff is javaland stuff.

Spoiler:

Here's an old hack that shows how someone implemented it on a java level

However the scraping method is current favourite AFAIK (unless Eureka is going to wade in with a "Knowledge Slap Down")

I'm thinking build two separate versions, and then support them both - wrong way. On the other hand, add configuration file will not be too difficult.

Thank you! Though of course, it would be preferable to have a direct API.

I think about INI - http://code.google.com/p/simpleini/

[twobob]

Yeah. there will be two binaries anyways. FOR THE EXPLORER.
There HAS to be.

to target the FB and X versions of the libs...

I simply use a launcher script and scrape the uname -a, then from that determine which one to run.

This is the same for LEAFPAD and KTERM. identical.

I already have several gtk projects that are multiplatform (they just havent seen the light of day yet) that use this approach....

Of course you would need a copy of the k3 libs (much like your current /home/you/DEV/libs) and to point your build.sh at that.

I will send you them.

No, I haven't any knowledge in this area. geekmaster nailed it down. Gestures are passed to X applications as "mouse" button presses. baf also posted an explanation.

I have written dynamic button resizing for small screens, but I can't make commit.
Network error: Connection timed out
WTF? Stupid sourceforge.

OK, I connect via my mobile phone, and make commit

Please, check it in different Kindles, I run it only on my desktop.

[twobob]

will do!

been a mad couple of days here. will catchup

EDIT: Grabbed down the bits, thank you kindly

Buttons resize fine. It would be nice to resize images too, as on KT they are too large.

[anakod]

Hmm, I'm resizing images. Don't undestend...

May be gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple doesn't work on Kindle?

[twobob]

Will test in AM. something will occur no doubt. Thanks for all your great works.
