kconfig (gconf): GTK tool released, please test...

[Romain Lievin]

Hi,

I worked on a kernel configuration tool similar to Qconf but written with 
GTK+... You will find it at <http://tilp.info/perso/gconfig.html>.

Please test it. 
Comments, suggestions, fixes, ..., are welcome !

BTW, I have written it with GTK 1.2. If there is a real need to use GTK 2.0, 
then I will rewrite it.

Romain.

I needed the patch below to get it working at all. sym_get_choice_value() 
might return a NULL pointer. The choice value is only updated if the 
choice symbol is yes and even then it can be NULL, if no choice value is 
visible.
I couldn't select 'Adaptec AIC7xxx support'. Choice symbols are special 
tristate symbols, beside having the tristate value it also points to a 
choice value.
The autoexpand mode is very annoying, even after changing a single symbol 
everything is expanded again. Keyboard support is basically nonexistent.

Anyway, it looks interesting, but still needs quite some work. :)

bye, Roman

Re: kconfig (gkc): GTK tool released, please test again...

[Romain Lievin]

Hi,

I converted gkc to GTK+ 2.0 and improved/fixed it according to your 
suggestions.
I submit it again for testing... You will find it at 
<http://tilp.info/perso/gkc.html>.

What I plan to do: add check boxes and more views.

Romain.

Could you add a patch as well, that makes it much easier to try out.
No matter it is big, it's still more convinient.

Well, I have managed to successfully modify the Makefile. I separated the 2
target as you wanted to. I have written a patch for you and Sam Ravnborg.

Nevertheless, I have a small problem: I did not manage to use gcc rather than
g++ in the Makefile. This has a side effect: libglade can not connect signals
to the GUI (because it uses symbol names for doing the binding and symbol 
decoration is not the same between C & C++).
I need help for this problem.

ifeq ($(MAKECMDGOALS),$(obj)/gkc)
        gkc-objs        := kconfig_load.o
        gkc-cxxobjs     := gconf.o
endif

In this part you tell kbuild that gconf.o is made from a .cc file
[implying C++] and g++ will be used.

If your gconf.cc really is a C-file (looks like it) then you only
need one line:
gkc-objs := gconf.o kconfig_load.o

But then you need to rename gconf.cc to gconf.c as well.

I tried to apply your patch, but it failed because I did
not have 'pkg-config'. I guess I need some GTK developer kit?

Hi,

Sorry, I forgotten the patch. It is roughly 50KB, thus you will find it here:
http://tilp.info/perso/prepare.diff

Thanks, Romain.

Hi,

Sorry, for the long time, I was waiting for GTK+ team to fix a bug...

Well, fixed... All stuffs seem to work fine now !

You will find a patch against 2.5.51 on http://tilp.info/perso/gkc.html.

Next step: add the 2 other views and use icons (by sharing yours).

Thanks, Romain.

Is gtk 2.1.4 really required? Debian has only 2.0, I changed the test to 
get it compiled and it seems to work anyway.

me, too. I recently switched from 33.6K modem to 128kbit ADSL and I had some
work on my new gateway...

You're right, my Debian does not have 2.2 yet....
Well, I switched to 2.0 given that I can easily work around it. Nevertheless,
I placed a #define for people who want to use 2.2 release.

> BTW how are the other views doing? :)

I have just finished the 'Single' view. I am working on the 'Split' one.
