I have decided to try and write a DCE wrapper for VLC, because in my belief it will fix a number of issues. I am also going to be looking real hard for a solution to asterisk prob.
I tried for many days to get 8.1 rolling during the avenard fiasco, and am still unsuccessful. I will go at that some more later. For now I will be trying to develop for 7.10 and 8.10 concurrently.
So I have set up a dev box and would like to know some info. I have a lot of reading ahead of me, but if someone could help me with a couple of basic "where do i find"s that would be great.
1. I am green to linux. Where do I get avail source code? For instance if I wanted to look at the xine wrapper... where would I find that? Is it even available?
2. I am comfortable in java. I need to learn c++ anyway, have for about 20 years and just never got around to it. Any suggested reading? It is still object oriented... I should be able to get the swing pretty quick.
3. I just found the svn part of the site. How is that managed, I see assignments... but do not know if they are self or admin assigned. Because I am just above useless, should I try and tackle things related to features and not function... as the more experienced guys are more likely to find a quicker solution?
Any rules, tips, suggestions are welcome. I have never developed outside of contract before, so I am new to the community.
