Qt Jambi

Long time no posts. But it doesn’t mean that we have been doing nothing. Quite the contrary, actually.

More of it after (maybe?) more interesting thing:

If you want to talk about Qt, Java, Jambi or Whatever, feel free to poke me.

But, what else has happened in last year

It’s not like I’ve only planned this trip. I also don’t bother to create two posts in a row, so here’s some things:

We have been sorting our code base and release system towards more stable and productive system, so we can with our small team affordingly test whole code base and release flexibly, for example release weekly snapshots for people who want the newest, and hopefully, best Jambi libraries.

Unofficial releases using newest code from our master Git repository are available here. Note that those may not be final beta-4 builds; there is no Windows builds due few problems in installer script that needs solving before we can release the package.

There is also available Ubuntu packages at Launchpad and openSuSE/RHEL/Fedora/CentOS packages at OBS. These are too snapshots, so please be wary of bugs (and tell us about them!)

Qt Jambi builds again on Mac OS X, even with PPC/PPC64, if anyone is still using those older machines. On Windows 32 bit MSYS/MinGW and MSVC should work, as does 64 bit building.

We have restructured ANT building system to be more modular to allow generator to be used out of tree. This allows using generator more flexibly in third party projects. That means that you can more easily do Jambi bindings for your own custom Qt/cpp project, or try to port something more fancy like KDE’s libraries. As a side effect AWT bridge library works again, which uses generator.

Main contributor for this work has been Darryl Miles, please buy a beer to him if you ever meet him! :)
