Dev chat transcripts and Mac builds

June 30, 2006, 1:39 pm

It seems I’ve been neglectful again and haven’t reported the outcomes of either the live Dev Chat we held, nor the result of the new RAM I was bought.

Well, first up, the dev chat was a great success, with a very full MUC and well over an hour of questions (there were many we didn’t have time to answer. The abridged transcript is available at http://www.kismith.co.uk/psi/devchat-210606.html and we’re hoping to hold another chat event towards the Autumn, when we’ll have the results of the six Summer of Code projects producing code for Psi (Yes, Machekku couldn’t keep away and has patched Psi as part of his project).

Secondly, the new RAM went in fine and my Mac Mini now lives again. Nightly (universal) Psi builds of the main development branch for OSX are now available from http://www.kismith.co.uk/files/psi/mac/nightlies/. Windows nightlies are somewhat more work to set up on a Mac but I do intend trying to set these up at some point; until then I’ll be uploading builds when I feel like it at http://www.kismith.co.uk/files/psi/windows/.

Any chance of including gif support (think that means it has to be built into Qt) in the builds? Since it seems that half my iconsets use gif. :(

I think the Mac OS X builds should already have GIF support included. The Windows builds don’t but that’s because I don’t want to go through the hassles of recompiling Qt while we’re still waiting for a Qt release that’s sufficiently stable for us to use long-term. Once we have one (I hope 4.2 will provide this), I’ll be rebuilding it on Windows such that we can have GIF support.

Strange, it’s the Mac OS X builds that I am using and GIF iconsets definitely aren’t working (unless the format has changed).

Curious, I’ll try and remember to have a look it this later.
