Hi,
I'm not that lazy as DW :-) so I don't use BeIDE for compiling
app_server.
My setup is easy:
mkdir ~/srv
mkdir ~/srv/lib
./configure
cd .../servers/app/server
jam
cp .../distro/.../servers/app_server ~/srv
cp .../distro/.../lib(IIRC)/libappserver.so ~/srv/lib
[same for libz.so and libpng.so]
[often you only need to copy app_server, rarely libappserver.so,
and only one time libz.so and libpng.so]
cd ~/srv
./app_server
the client app is no more than a BeIDE project with MyApp, MyWin, MyView
objects, MyView added to MyWin,
4 instances of MyWin in BApplication::ReadyToRun().
* There is a catch however, I edited project settings so that include paths
point to trunk/headers/[os/cpp/posix] ONLY,
lib paths to .../distro/.../system/lib (for libopenbeos.so), then removed
libbe.so from my project and added
libopenbeos.so. That's it. Now compile this project an run. (Note that
RUN_WITHOUT_REGISTRAR must be defined for
easier testing) (NOTE2: libroot.so must be R5's one, so leave it into project.
Same goes for the library path in Project settings)
I don't mind putting my testapp into repository, but I don't see the point.
It's just a simple main.cpp file with lots of
commented lines and a few basic objects. Maybe we should put a simple test app,
but we still have to write a howto in order
to make it run under haiku app_server...
bye,
Adi.
