hey all, so, i've got the audio player i've been working more or less up and running - give it a shot if you're up to it... https://github.com/lljk/shoeWax - (check out the screenshot there...) unfortunately, right now it might be a bit of a pain to get running... it's dependent on gstreamer, so you'll have to have that and the gem installed - if you're running Windows you can check out sections III and IV of this wiki: https://github.com/lljk/rubyWax/wiki/rubyWax-and-Windows - for help getting those installed. as an additional inconvenience, you'll have to run the thing under my shoes_gst build - it won't run under standard Shoes builds :( you can get shoes_gst here: https://github.com/lljk/shoes_gst/downloads . download the zip, extract it somewhere, enter the directory and run 'rake.' the 'readme.txt' file has more detailed instructions... i would really like to be able to package this nicely, to avoid all the above hassles... i tried creating a standalone for Windows with the packager in my shoes_gst build, but it doesn't work for one reason or another. any ideas about how to best package the thing? thanks to everyone on this list for all the help in getting this thing at least this far! Shoes On... - j
Hi J, > https://github.com/lljk/shoeWax - (check out the screenshot there...) Wow, cool! I'd like to play ShoeWax on my Windows 7. But you mentioned that: > you'll have to run the thing under my shoes_gst build - it won't run > under standard Shoes builds :( Umm,... why? Could you show us the difference between standard Shoes and your shoes_gst build? ashbb
hi ash - well, the only difference between my shoes_gst build and a 'normal' policeman build is that i've included the gstreamer and glib2 gems... i couldn't get shoes to play nice with gems with native dependencies without building my own - but there could well be another way to make this work that i'm not aware of. here's a wiki about how i built shoes_gst, which will show the only differences - https://github.com/lljk/shoes-stuff/wiki/Shoes-and-Gems-with-Native-Dependencies On Mon, Dec 5, 2011 at 1:59 PM, ashbb <ashbbb@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi J, > > > > https://github.com/lljk/shoeWax - (check out the screenshot there...) > Wow, cool! > I'd like to play ShoeWax on my Windows 7.

Hi J, Thanks for the information. Okay, I'll check it out. But sorry, I've a little free time in this week. So, give me a few days... or a week. ashbb
thanks for giving it a look - no hurry... as i think i mentioned, i'm working on a green_shoes version too - i've got a few questions that i'll get back to you with if that's alright! - j
Hi J,
I just tried out the following.
- download Kou's trial gems for glib2 and gstreamer
http://pub.cozmixng.org/~kou/archives/glib2-1.0.3-x86-mingw32.gem
http://pub.cozmixng.org/~kou/archives/gstreamer-1.0.3-x86-mingw32.gem
- in the same directory, run the below snippet with Shoes 3 for Windows
Shoes.setup do
gem 'glib2', '1.0.3'
gem 'gstreamer', '1.0.3'
end
Shoes.app do
para require 'glib2' # 1
para require 'gst' # 2
end
The result is:
- installing two gems are good
- #1 shows 'true'
- but get an error at #2: "can't find ruby_vsnprintf from
msvcrt-ruby191.dll"
Umm,... unfortunately, as you mentioned,
you will have to rebuild Red Shoes to use gstreamer...
So, could you send me `gstreamer.so` you built on your Windows?
> as i think i mentioned, i'm working on a green_shoes version too -
> i've got a few questions that i'll get back to you with if that's alright!
Wow, cool! Feel free let me know anything.
I'm also going to try porting ShoeWax on Green Shoes. ;-)

You can build it the same way I build Hackety Hack: https://github.com/hacketyhack/hacketyhack I don't have documentation for it yet, but it relies on having an app.yaml file: https://github.com/hacketyhack/hacketyhack/blob/master/app.yaml

Then, get your directories lined up… $ ls shoes hacketyhack And rebuild shoes, while pointing the APP flag at your Hackety directory: $ cd shoes $ rake APP=../hacketyhack $ rake APP=../hacketyhack installer That’s it! and that seems like something that could work (maybe?) - but what does "get your directories lined up" mean? sorry if it's obvious - i'm pretty green at this! thanks, - j
I haven't delved deeply into how exactly all the things in app.yaml work yet. On 'directories lining up': See the ls? See how the shoes directory and the hackety hack directory are next to each other? Then you go into the shoes directory, and instead of just typing 'rake' to build Shoes, you pass an extra parameter, APP.
thanks for helping - really appreciate it...
so i've got an 'app.yaml' file in my shoewax root directory, and i've got
my shoes_gst build.
the app.yaml looks like this:
name: shoeWax
version: 0.11.12
release: Material
icons:
win32: platform/msw/App.ico
osx: platform/mac/App.icns
gtk: platform/nix/app.png
dmg:
background: screenshot.jpg
run: shoewax.rb
what i'm doing is this: i copy the shoewax directory into the shoes_gst
root directory. i `ls` from within the shoes_gst root, (not the right
place?) - obviously i get a list of everything, not just the shoes dir and
my shoewax dir - and the shoes dir and my shoewax dir are not exactly
'next' to each other, i've got the 'shoes.gemspec' file between them...
does this matter? am i doing this all wrong?
when i cd to the shoes dir and run 'rake APP=./shoewax' ('./shoewax',
because '../shoewax' can't be found - making me think i'm doing this from
the wrong place - anyway...) the rake starts, but then fails with these
errors:
shoes/ruby.c:4383:73: error: too many decimal points in number
rake aborted!
Command failed with status (1): [gcc -I. -c -oshoes/ruby.o -Wall
-I/usr/inc...]
/home/jk/shoe_wax_shoes/Rakefile:177:in `cc'
for the hell of it, i go ahead and run 'rake APP = ./shoeWax installer'
and that seems to run alright - giving me a .run file in the pkg directory.
when i run that file, however - i get the error:
eval: 1: ./shoewax: not found
see anything obviously stupid that i'm doing? i wouldn't be surprised ;)
thanks again for the help...
- j
hey Steve, thanks for getting back - this message was supposed to be sent just after the first, but for whatever reason wasn't: so, maybe i've seen something obviously stupid myself... i think i was confusing the shoes dir with the shoes/shoes dir - so i tried doing this: in a new directory i placed my shoes_gst build, and the shoewax dir. `ls` now shows the two sitting nicely next to each other. then from the shoes_gst dir i ran 'rake APP=../shoewax' - and guess what... now '../shoewax' exists, go figure. unfortunately i still get the same errors - so there must be plenty more stupidity that i'm not seeing... ...end original mess-age so yeah, i'm still doing something wrong - going to whack at it some more, and i'll sure get back with more questions... definitely makes more sense - working on it, and happy to help with docs once i get it figured out... (wicked) thanks again, - j
Interesting. Here's the line that dies: https://github.com/shoes/shoes/blob/develop/shoes/ruby.c#L4383 SHOES_RELEASE_ID is defined in the Rakefile: https://github.com/shoes/shoes/blob/develop/Rakefile#L127 RELEASE_ID is defined in the Rakefile: https://github.com/shoes/shoes/blob/develop/Rakefile#L12 APP is defined in the Rakefile: https://github.com/shoes/shoes/blob/develop/Rakefile#L10 So, as it seems, you have too many numbers in your version. I bet if you don't use two periods, i.e., 11.12 instead of 0.11.12, that it'll work.
hey Steve, well, getting it there - changing the version number did get me through the rake, thanks! so now i get the thing built just fine, and create the installer ok - but when running the created .run file i get errors about already initialized constants - TOPDIR, CONFIG, and MAKEFILE_CONFIG - from /tmp/selfgz9479/ruby/lib/i686-linux/rbconfig.rb any ideas what that's about? thanks again - sorry for the hassles.... - j

hey folks -
(sorry if this is a repeat post - i believe the first time i sent this it
failed...)
Steve,
i'm sure i'm doing something weird/dumb/wrong - going to keep whacking
at it... here are the exact errors i get:
(in the ubuntu console window:)

/tmp/selfgz10446/lib/shoes.rb:434: in 'visit'
this last bit gives me a good idea that i've done something stupid -
going to keep trying...
Ashbb,
cool that you got the gems to install... i had originally attached a
copy of the `gst.so` that was created when i installed on Win2000 - but it
seems i can't send messages to the list with attachments (?) - anyway, i
didn't get anything called `gstreamer.so` - so hopefully this is what
you're looking for...
https://github.com/lljk/shoes_gst/blob/master/req/gstreamer/ext/gstreamer/gst.so
one of the biggest problems i remember having when i was trying to do
shoeWax in green_shoes was that a lot of the methods i use for the layout
(like ::move, and more importantly ::rotate,) are not available in
green_shoes - or so it would seem(?)
can i call gtk methods directly to handle the layout and rotation?
thanks again to both of you for all the help,
- j
Hi J, > https://github.com/lljk/shoes_gst/blob/master/req/gstreamer/ext/gstreamer/gst.so Thanks. But, unfortunately it's not what I expected... > one of the biggest problems i remember having when i was trying to do shoeWax > in green_shoes was that a lot of the methods i use for the layout (like ::move, > and more importantly ::rotate,) are not available in green_shoes - or so it > would seem(?) Ah,... Green Shoes has them, too. But there are some differences between Red Shoes and Green Shoes. ;-) Look at this: https://github.com/ashbb/shoeWax/tree/onGreenShoes It's not finished, just started. But anyway I've started porting. :) ashbb
hey again, so something that i was thinking of as well was packing the whole thing up as a gem... is that something that seems at all reasonable to you guys? ashbb, you've obviously got some experience packing shoes into a gem - i was looking at your gemspec, but i'm still just getting my head around the whole thing... any pointers you could give me? Steve, i noticed that after building red Shoes, i get a /pkg/shoes-3.0.1.gem file. i see that it's just a place holder for the moment, but do you think it could somehow be made to work? thanks again, Shoes On - - j

I spent about two weeks working on this. It involves throwing out the build process, using mkmf instead, including a monkey patch to handle a bug with mkmf not knowing how to compile Objective-C files, and re-doing the Shoes boot up process. It _worked_, technically, but it would segfault upon startup. I didn't figure it out past there.
hey folks - Steve, thanks for the link - http://timelessrepo.com/making-ruby-gems awesome... i had found a few 'tutorials' on making gems, but hadn't come across yours, and it looks like a dang good one. reading/working/grok-ing now... ashbb, https://github.com/ashbb/shoeWax/tree/onGreenShoes cool! i'll be checking in on it to see how it's coming along... thanks again to both of you for all the help, - j
Hi J and folks, Look at this: http://vgoff.posterous.com/shoewax-on-green-shoes Porting is not completed yet, but I can listen MP3 songs with shoeWax on Green Shoes now. ;-) Cheers, ashbb

ashbb, looks awesome! let me know if you have any questions, and please forgive any barbaric code! i'll be looking over the changes involved in porting to green shoes to try and get a better idea of how green shoes works... i had forgotten to add a copy of the gnu gpl v.3 license to the repo - and just did. i was trying to open up a pull request, but for some reason couldn't quite get it figured out - would you mind adding a copy of the gnu general public license version 3 http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html to your repo? thanks, keep Shoes'in - j On Mon, Dec 12, 2011 at 9:30 PM, J.

J, Okay, I'll add the gnu gpl v3 license to my 'onGreenShoes' branch. BTW, shoeWax on Green Shoes is not completed yet, but if you don't mind could you merge the current 'onGreenShoes' branch to your shoeWax repo on github? If it's okay, I'll send you a pull request. ashbb

Hi J, Oh, sorry. I've added a few features and fixed some bugs to run shoeWax on Green Shoes, but have not uploaded the latest gem to RubyGems.org yet. I'll do it from now. Before that, use the latest Green Shoes on my github repo. ;-) ashbb
Hi J, > ashbb, you've obviously got some experience packing shoes into a gem - i was > looking at your gemspec, but i'm still just getting my head around the whole > thing... any pointers you could give me? Ah,.... hahaha. Sorry, I have not enough experience. Because the gemspec of Green Shoes was written by Zak. Oh, Zak! Are you still there in this Shoes ML? ashbb

This is something that's totally undocumented, so it's not surprising you have problems... Let's try this again. 1) Make a directory in your home folder. Call it 'shoes_build' $ mkdir ~/shoes_build 2) Put your copy of shoes into the directory $ cd ~/shoes_build $ cp /some/path/to/my/shoes . 3) put your app, in a folder, into the directory $ cp /some/path/to/my/app . 4) now, you should have just those two things. Your app folder should have the app.yaml $ ls shoes app $ ls app $ stuff stuff app.yaml stuff (or whatever your app is called.) 5) now, go into shoes, and run rake, with the right parameters: $ cd shoes $ rake APP=../app See how '../app' is pointing at the directory with your app in it? That should build. 6) build an installer $ rake APP=../app installer And you should be done. Does this make more sense?
thanks Steve - looking into it...

No problem. This is something I've literally been meaning to document for like a year.
