(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hmmm .....

I'm not keen on wxWidgets but someone seems to want DVDStyler badly (you know who you are ...)

This took a bit of time to whack it into shape. To use DVDStyler, the wxWidgets and wxsvg library is required. Further to that, a recent version of ffmpeg >= 0.4.9 svn is also needed.

If you intend to use this, head over here and install ffmpeg 0.5 stable release and optionally xine-lib 1.16.3 (a must if you use xine lib related apps, ex: gxine).

Software List

1. DVDStyler 1.7.3 pet (1.3MB)
[download]
Description:
DVDStyler 1.7.3 binary in pet form. Comes with everything except
documentation.

2. wxsvg 1.0 library pet (680KB)
[download]
Description:
wxSVG library 1.0. Comes with binary, headers, libs, docs, etc, etc.

3. wxWidgets 2.8.10 library [GTK only] (3.7MB)
[download]
Description:
wxWidgets library 2.8.10. Comes with binary, headers, libs, docs, etc, etc.


Final note:
This is a once-in-a-blue-moon effort and probably will not be maintained. It looks interesting but I rarely have a need for this. This set of software (DVDStyler, wxsvg & wxWidgets) is fresh out of the oven. I have tried to ensure that all mandatory dependencies are met but they are not tested any further than the opening screen.

Yes, it's a real pain... binaries are only compatible with a wx built with the same options as the wx they were compiled against.

I did actually rebuild dvdstyler already - just hadn't got around to throwing the help files in from another distro's package (I'm guessing they work, and xmlto is only needed to create them), and posting a .pet
I'll still post my version, as the wxgtk version is almost certainly incompatible. Is your wxgtk the same as used by any other packages? Built with the default options, or what?

I think to really use it you need mjpegtools, which can be found on the forum somewhere.

BTW, thanks for making the effort

1. Yes, xmlto is needed for the docs conversion but I whacked-in a bypass.
2. WxWidget-gtk is built with default options as per WxWidget readme : ../configure --prefix=/usr --with-gtk ... which seems sane enough to me ...
3. Was curious with the mentioned mjpegtools, so I made a quick dvdstyler test run. Dvdstyler uses xine-ui as default viewer but I used gxine (can be changed in the core options page) instead and it works fine. Made a small dvd.iso and dvdstyler seems to be working fine ... I dunno, my dvd drive borked months ago and since my cdrw still runs fine, I've no plans of getting a new one ...

Everything (related) above was built on puppy 4.12 ... (including xine-ui but not posted).

It probably is sane
Wxgtk programs only work with a wxgtk compiled with the same unicode and 2.4 and 2.6 compatibility mode etc. options as the wxgtk they were compiled against. I happen to package against a Fedora compatible wxgtk, because I couldn't get the previous version of Hugin to compile on Puppy, so I used a Fedora package. Fedora's options don't seem very sane to me... but I'm no expert.

Did you put a menu on that test DVD image? I suspect that is what mjpegtools is for... but maybe I compiled it in as an extra optional dependency. I just saw messages about it being missing when I tested dvdstyler in a clean Puppy install.

Whoaaa ... (Hugin is) another WxStuffs dependent app (plus boost and etc etc) but it sure is one nifty piece of work ... and I'm more a lamer than an expert ...

Yes I did. A main menu linked to a sub-menu (with a return link) and both menus linked to a short clip. Preview done in gxine seems to work fine ...

A quick dependency check shows no mjpegtools there. Doesn't matter I guess since it worked without much fuss so far ...
