Claro-AIR

[John]

Good to hear from you again AIR. I think you answered Kent's questions with the knowledge he is crossing over (and back again) from Windows and went easy on him. 

BTW, did you have a chance to look at Nimrod? I'm curious what your take is on it running GUI apps under OSX.

[AIR]

Hey, John.

There's no native GUI support under MacOS, unless you use the old Claro library.  Araq has it up on GitHub, and I've spent the last day or two modifying it to work under OSX Mavericks and Mountain Lion.  Claro, unfortunately, is VERY incomplete, but nimrod has an (equally!) incomplete binding for it, so I dusted off the old Tiny Times demo.

[AIR]

Oh, here's the code.  Definitely not finished, and probably never will be, because Claro needs a major re-write.

Code: [Select]

import claro, strutils

type
  TButtonArray = array[0..9, ptr TButton]

var bTop:cint = 16
var buttons:TButtonArray
var lb: ptr TListBox

proc window_closed (obj: ptr TClaroObj, event: ptr TEvent) {.cdecl.} =
  claro_shutdown()

proc button_pressed (obj: ptr TClaroObj, event: ptr TEvent) {.cdecl.} =
  var seed:cint = 10
  var button = cast[ptr TButton](obj)
  var multiplyer = cast[int](button.naddress[0])
  for i in 1..10:
    discard listbox_append_row( lb, IntToStr(multiplyer) & " x " & IntToStr(i) & " = " & IntToStr( multiplyer*i ) )
     
     
var Form1 = newWindow( nil, new_bounds( 100, 100, 500, 330 ), 1 )
window_set_title( Form1, "Tiny Times Table" )
object_addhandler( Form1, "destroy", window_closed )

lb = newListBox(Form1, new_bounds(bTop,bTop, 300,300), 0)

for i in low(buttons)..high(buttons):
  var val = intToStr(i+1)
  buttons[i] = newButton( Form1, new_bounds( 410, bTop, 70, -1 ), 0, intToStr(i+1) )
  object_addHandler( buttons[i], "pushed", button_pressed)
  buttons[i].naddress[0] = cast[ptr int](i+1)
  bTop+=30


window_show(Form1)
window_focus(Form1)

claro_loop()
EDIT:  fixed typo

[John]

That is too cool !

It's good to hear the Nimrod author has taken some interest in the OSX platform. I will have to do a search for what Claro is all about.

Thanks for the example.

===========================================================
          Claro GUI library
===========================================================

This is a revival of the Claro GUI library from Gian Perrone and Theo Julienne.

Claro is a set of cross-platform libraries which assist programmers in writing applications which can run on almost any platform without modification.

This project aims to revive this abandoned project and to provide wrappers for
Nimrod.

To try it out, build it with::
 
  python koch.py claro


Enjoy!

I built and installed the Claro library on Linux (Ubuntu 12.4 64 bit) and here are a few of the examples that are done in C.

lib/wrappers/claro.nim(174, 31) Error: inheritance only works with non-final objects
jrs@laptop:~/nimrod/examples$

This is the error I'm getting trying to compile your Tiny Times Nimrod example under Ubuntu 64 bit.

Update

I thought I had it with this change to nimrod core translator. I recompiled with these changes but it didn't resolve the issue. 

Code: [Select]

Error: inheritance only works with non-final objects

Araq closed the issue in c592622 a month ago

[AIR]

The problem isn't in the compiler, but in the Claro.nim module.

In line 67, change this:

Code: [Select]

TClaroObj*{.pure.} = object
So that it looks like this:

Code: [Select]

TClaroObj*{.pure, inheritable.} = object
Without that change, you can't sub-class TClaroObj.

AIR.

[John]

Thanks AIR for the fix but I can't seem to load libclaro.so with Nimrod. I didn't have any problems running the C examples that came with the Claro distribution. The C examples were compiled with Gtk+2.0 and I think Nimrod is using Gtk-3. I tried to compile the Claro hello.c example with Gtk-3 and it wouldn't compile.

Update The Nimrod Gtk example are compiled with Gtk 2 so that doesn't seem the be the issue.

libclaro is built wrong by koch.py, so it doesn't dynamically link to gtk.

Since you already have the object files after building the library, recreate it like this (from the root of the Claro folder):

Code: [Select]

gcc  -shared -fPIC -o build/libclaro.so  src/block.o src/hashtable.o src/claro.o src/list.o src/log.o src/memory.o src/object.o src/oscompat.o src/store.o src/object_map.o src/widgets/window.o src/widgets/toolbar.o src/widgets/textbox.o src/widgets/button.o src/widgets/canvas.o src/widgets/splitter.o src/widgets/container.o src/widgets/checkbox.o src/widgets/dialog.o src/widgets/label.o src/widgets/progress.o src/widgets/radio.o src/widgets/statusbar.o src/widgets/textarea.o src/widgets/frame.o src/widgets/image.o src/widgets/list.o src/widgets/listbox.o src/widgets/listview.o src/widgets/combo.o src/widgets/menubar.o src/widgets/menu.o src/widgets/scrollbar.o src/widgets/workspace.o src/widgets/opengl.o src/widgets/treeview.o src/widgets/stock.o src/layout_parser.o src/layout.o src/layout_heap.o src/widget.o src/graphics.o src/image.o src/font.o src/system.o src/platform/gtk.o src/platform/gdkcairo.o src/platform/gtkcairo.o src/platform/gtk/window.o src/platform/gtk/toolbar.o src/platform/gtk/textbox.o src/platform/gtk/button.o src/platform/gtk/canvas.o src/platform/gtk/splitter.o src/platform/gtk/container.o src/platform/gtk/label.o src/platform/gtk/statusbar.o src/platform/gtk/progressbar.o src/platform/gtk/checkbox.o src/platform/gtk/radio.o src/platform/gtk/textarea.o src/platform/gtk/frame.o src/platform/gtk/image.o src/platform/gtk/listview.o src/platform/gtk/listbox.o src/platform/gtk/combo.o src/platform/gtk/menubar.o src/platform/gtk/menu.o src/platform/gtk/scrollbar.o src/platform/gtk/workspace.o src/platform/gtk/opengl.o src/platform/gtk/treeview.o src/platform/gtk/font.o src/platform/gtk/images.o src/platform/gtk/system.o -ldl $(pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0)
EDIT: Or use the attached koch.py file that I fixed.

It's nice to have a Nimrod pro as a member of the forum. Thanks AIR!

I tried to bring this full circle and compile the Nimrod Claro Tiny Times example from AIR on Windows XP. I have posted Nimrod examples on this platform before so I know it works.

With a bit of farting around, I was able to get AIR's Tiny Times example to compile on Windows.  (like walking through a mine field)

I can't post the screen shot because the window only stay on the screen for a fraction of a second. I was able to get by the previous FreeType6.dll issue by copying the one from the Gtk2 for Windows install. It now looks like its down to AIR's Nimrod program and nil.

Responses inline, I couldn't ignore this post...

All in all, your ideas are interesting, but (just my opinion) they aren't practical.

AIR.

Thanks for taking the time to reply in depth AIR, I appreciate it a lot.

I tried to try debian, but it would not see my wireless network device and said I needed a proprietary driver. So I couldn't install it.
Will try it in virtualbox instead of stand alone next.

Thanks again for taking the time to reply and clarify.

If you're going the Virtual route (I run VMWare Fusion on my Macs and have my virtual machines on a portable drive) take a look a Linux Mint 15.  Really nice distro, I've switched all of my Linux stuff to it. Also, Distrowatch has release info for just about every Linux distro that matters.
