<LinuxUserHaiku> @Begasus i sent video to you yesterday that i cant resize window at all
<Begasus> I saw it LinuxUserHaiku , here it still works with resizing
<LinuxUserHaiku> maybe you didnt use latest commit
<Begasus> 4ec036e4d93974ac918f5919fa041a388bf1bdea
<Begasus> should be the latest
<LinuxUserHaiku> latest, maybe you didnt change srcGitRev in recipe?
<Begasus> I'll do another check later, but the one in the recipe here is correct
<LinuxUserHaiku> Latest passwordgenerator recipe: https://bpa.st/NBMA
<Begasus> ah, could be because I'm using Qt6 here
<Begasus> don't you get policiy warnings when the package is created?
<LinuxUserHaiku> no
<LinuxUserHaiku> didnt get
<Begasus> You should atleast get one for missing dependency for libGL
<Begasus> Warning: POLICY ERROR: "/packaging/passwordgenerator_x86/apps/PasswordGenerator" needs library "libGL.so.1", but the package doesn't seem to declare that as a requirement
<LinuxUserHaiku> ah, i got that
<Begasus> right, so you need to add lib:libGL in the REQUIRES list
<LinuxUserHaiku> no warnings now!
<LinuxUserHaiku> and you try to do this
<Begasus> If you build in strict modus the warning will change into an error
<LinuxUserHaiku> for me after this hpkg sucessfully built
<LinuxUserHaiku> and before this
<Begasus> It builds fine here

<iisi> regards
<matt3> hello
<matt3> how to build a screensaver under haiku ?
<Begasus> no idea
<OscarL> Good afternoon Begasus.
<OscarL> matt3: there are many examples you could use as a base.
<OscarL> either from the Haiku repository... or from HaikuArchives
<matt3> ok, i have done bewake under beos and i wish to build 4 haiku ..
<OscarL> "Be Sample Code" used to include example screensavers too in the BeOS R5 days.
<OscarL> matt3: have you tried using the makefile-engine to build your programs?
<OscarL> Even on BeOS days was a nice and simple enough alternative.
<matt3> ah, here is ... how to use make ?
<OscarL> (even *I* was able to use that, so... anyone can :-D)
<Begasus> hehe
<OscarL> matt3: that's the thing with makefile-engine...
<OscarL> you just basically fill up a template, and the engine does the rest for you.
<matt3> is there a tutorial ?
<Begasus> "make" is the basic to get anything to compile
<OscarL> I'm on Windows now, and don't recall the details from memory (haven't really usesd it for a while)...
<Begasus> what in front of it depends on the source
<Begasus> what's*
<OscarL> but once you fiil up the template... just "make" and things appear by magic :-D
<OscarL> (the makefile-engine templates were full of comments explaining how to use them)
<Begasus> Plenty of examples for Makefiles using the makefile-engine at HaikuArchives
<OscarL> Begasus: Yeah... that was I was counting on when I suggested matt3 to look there for screensaver examples! Lots of great gems from the BeOS days.
<Begasus> Right OscarL , some nice things there still, but not all can be build for Haiku
<OscarL> And haiku's developement packages already includes the makefile-engine, right? maybe there are templates included too?
<Begasus> yes,right click any-where and choose New - Makefile
<OscarL> matt3: the nice thing with the makefile-engine was... it had "recipes" for different types of code: drivers, apps, screen_savers, etc... it was really easy.
<Begasus> some recipes at haikuports
<matt3> thanks

<Not-ff83> [haikuports/haikuports] Begasus eb01ed8 - appstream-glib, bump version (#7152)
<OscarL> Begasus: today a "miracle" happened... I found a bug in Haiku's Sound preflet, and instead of filling a bug report as I usually do... somehow I was able to fix it (after first thinking... no way I'll be able to understand this). Patch awaiting review :-D (later on... I found out that the bug was already reported on Trac :-D)
<Begasus> nice one OscarL !
<Begasus> what was the bug?
<Begasus> :)
<OscarL> I dealt only with the UI/UX side of things, because that was what I was annoyed with :-D
<OscarL> I was trying to make Vision beep in case my nickname was mentioned :-D
<Begasus> Haven't used system sounds for (I don't know) how long ago :)
<OscarL> I would never use sounds on an OS level otherwise....
FreeFull has joined #haiku
<Begasus> Maybe it clears the way for the sound themes?
<OscarL> but as I sometimes leave Vision running on a minimized VM... that "beep" could come in handy :-)
<OscarL> Mmm, not really. At least I don't think so.
<OscarL> I doubt it would be a difficult task. Just not an interesting one (too many other things are higher prio)
matt3 has left #haiku [#haiku]
<Begasus> right :)
<OscarL> my "miracle" today was that it took me more or less the same time to fix the bug... than complain about it :-D
<Begasus> heh
<Begasus> had some issues today with gettext/glib2 before I was able to bump appstream-glib
<Begasus> had to rebuild to prior versions
<OscarL> I saw you pushed some of the packages waddlesplash was asking for yesterday.
<Begasus> yes, those are done
<OscarL> Man... your work it is REALLY appreciated, Begasus!
<OscarL> you do a LOT.
<Begasus> I wasn't that hard ;)
<OscarL> Still! We all get a better Haiku experiecence from that!
<Begasus> As you can see not a lot changed there
<Begasus> Plenty of outdated recipes there :)
<OscarL> Not enough Begasus(es)
<OscarL> :-D
<Begasus> lol
<Begasus> Try updating one of the python recipes :P
<OscarL> Mmm yesterday I think I found some weird issue with Python virtualenvs...
<Begasus> The one for gettext from extrowerk (PR still open) is a tricky one as it has a cycling dependency with glib2
<OscarL> (trying to install a tool that checks for unused headers on C++ code)
* Begasus hides :)
<OscarL> Begasus: do no! I'm still a noob regarding virtualenvs (I left python programming just before those were a thing :-D)... so I'm not sure it was my fault, venv's, pip's, or just bad luck :-D
<OscarL> Regarding your issues with builds... I wish I could do more than offer words of support and grattitude!
<Begasus> never used pip to install anything python related, those packages I found missing I added them to haikuports using a generic python recipe I use to build up a recipe from base
<Begasus> It's not that hard OscarL
<Begasus> first step is to setup haikuporter/haikuports
<Begasus> then just try with a simple one like "Album" or "Weather" to build
<Begasus> Once you get the hang on recipes they are a pleasure to work with (well mostly) :)
mmu_man has joined #haiku
<OscarL> I bet I'll end up using it one way or another, because, at the very least... I will want to fix some issues with KeyCursor.
<OscarL> (when, or IF, I manage to find the issue)
<Begasus> ;)
<Begasus> biab, time for the dogs :)
<OscarL> Begasus: I ended up using pip because pkgman couldn't find a package for pyserial, despite it having a recipe on HaikuPorts.
<OscarL> read you later Begasus! Be well!!!
<Begasus> any message why it wouldn't install?
<OscarL> it didn't even showed on search.
<Begasus> it's disabled "?"
<OscarL> stil... I think those types of things should be installed with pip instead (at least from a user point of view)
<OscarL> just mentioned because I opened a PR on github's pyserial page...
<OscarL> to add support for finding Haiku's serial ports.
<OscarL> (and maybe it could be included as a patch in the recipe)
<OscarL> PySerial project mantainers seem to be non-responsive :-/ (PRs pilling up)
<Begasus> Our version is out of date also: https://repology.org/project/python:pyserial/versions
<Begasus> so that would be one thing you could look into for updating a recipe :)
<OscarL> Adding it to the ToDo list, Begasus! :-)
<OscarL> At least now PySerial works out of the box on Haiku (thanks to some recent fixes)
<OscarL> *fixes on Haiku, I mean.
<Begasus_32> grabbing pyserial_python3-3.5-1-any.hpkg and moving it to /Opslag/haikuports/packages/pyserial_python3-3.5-1-any.hpkg grabbing pyserial_python38-3.5-1-any.hpkg and moving it to /Opslag/haikuports/packages/pyserial_python38-3.5-1-any.hpkg grabbing pyserial_python39-3.5-1-any.hpkg and moving it to /Opslag/haikuports/packages/pyserial_python39-3.5-1-any.hpkg
<Begasus> see, only takes about 5 minutes :)
<Begasus> and a few seconds later ...
<Begasus_32> grabbing pyserial_python310-3.5-1-any.hpkg and moving it to /Opslag/haikuports/packages/pyserial_python310-3.5-1-any.hpkg

<OscarL> Begasus: I always kept an eye... on the issue tracker and on the commit logs / mailing lists).
<OscarL> I just never went back to the forums.
<Begasus> Ah! you are Bipolar at the forum?
<OscarL> Yup.
<Begasus> heh, was just thinking about the post you did on the lazarus topic
* OscarL is BiPolar in disguise :-D
<OscarL> BiPolar was my first "nickname".
<Begasus> That sounded familiar yes
<Begasus> I guess my nick goes around for over 20 years now :)
<OscarL> (and basically the only one I ever used, befor my real name :-D)
<OscarL> Begasus: yeah...
<Begasus> there's no secret in my real name, it's even at github ;)
<OscarL> My BiPolar account on Haiku's forum says I register in Aug 2006... only because we ALL were forced to re-register then!
<Begasus> heh
<Begasus> I think I only found out the forum much later

<OscarL> I remember voting for the new name for OpenBeOS.
<OscarL> I still have some screenshots of my BeOS R5 PE, with an "OpenBeOS" label instad of the BeOS logo on the Deskbar :-D
<Begasus> Don't think I was at the forum by then
<OscarL> I first installed BeOS PE R5 thanks to a PC Magazine CD in... 2001 I think. (the magazine was imported from Spain... at least 9 months after its publication date).
<OscarL> Was blown away by it ever since.
<OscarL> I literally could not understand how it was SO fast on that crappy PC.
<OscarL> Remember using GoGo Nocoda to convert some .wavs into mp3...
<OscarL> it was at least 5x faster than the software I used on DOS/Win.
<OscarL> I could not believe it :-D
<Begasus> Same here, was a bit into some linux distro's when I found out about BeOS
<OscarL> (parts of GoGo No-coda ended up on lame in the end :-D)
<Begasus> Installed it through the PE installer in Win98

<OscarL> The PC I used back the was so bad... that it wasn't even VESA compatible!
<OscarL> BeOS in Black and White!!!
<OscarL> Still.. I've tried and tried...
<Begasus> that was pretty good here, specially with the work RudulfC did back then on the nvidia driver
<OscarL> Untill I found that I could use a TSR to make it VBE 1.something compatible... (UniVBE was the name of the program)
<OscarL> Then... BeOS ran in (almost) all its glory :-D
<Begasus> Did some demo's back in the days, remember loading all the PC stuff in the car :D
<OscarL> Begasus: Today I wrote again to RudolfC... telling him too that all his work was much appreciated!
<Begasus> was lucky nothing ever got broken during the travels
<OscarL> (even if I never had a supported card on BeOS)
<Begasus> It was and still is a group effort, I think because RudofC is also Dutch speaking he was one of the first I had really some connection with :)
<Begasus> These days I poke nielx[m] for rust issues ;)
<OscarL> Begasus: Promotion works also great! Thank you for that too!
<Begasus> ;)
<OscarL> (man, I'm lagging as if I was on my old PCTel modem back on 2004)
<OscarL> Now it is my brain the on lagging :-(
<Begasus> Had some nice talks with pavel (pixel32) back in the days also (did some of the translation there also)
<OscarL> Please excuse if my replies came out of order.
<OscarL> *excuse me.
<Begasus> My RAM isn't up to speed anymore too :)
<Begasus> HW is falling behind .. :P
<Begasus> anyway, time to close down here
<Begasus> early day again tomorrow :)
<OscarL> Begasus: Thanks a lot for the chat. And "Be" well!
<OscarL> See you!!!
<Begasus> Thanks OscarL same to you!

<OscarL> (some of use are really broke, or even if we manage to spare some change... can't find a way to get that out of our backward countries)
