Stand alone Ubuntu orbiter

[Riggs]

Do i have to work from the core if i do c++, yes the screen is big 42in but if i go to kde the res is not good for programming

[Riggs]

I installed kubuntu 10.04 thinking thats what you guys use for programming

[tschak909]

I am programming directly on my core.

However, I am usually using it from another machine (one of my laptops) via ssh.

[Riggs]

so you geek it by programming in the terminal and not an IDE over say vnc

[Riggs]

does this apply to me http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Building_LinuxMCE_0810

[tschak909]

It will for later, for now, the notes I posted above are relevant.

so i should be in my home folder
then type:
mkdir lmcesvn
cd lmcesvn
svn checkout http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/branches/LinuxMCE-0810/ linuxmce
copy the contents of /usr/pluto/lib into its src/lib(in the svn dir i guess)
nano ~/.bashrc insert: export SNR_CPPFLAGS="-DKDE_LMCE" export SNR_LDFLAGS=" "
sudo apt-get install pluto-dcegen
sudo apt-get install pluto-sql2cpp

[tschak909]

sure.

This is assuming you choose to do c++ based development.

[Riggs]

just wanted to make sure i got the right commands as you did not say how to checkout the svn
and yes i think it would be best all round to go c++ as then while I'm in there i can help the project too.

[Riggs]

Well thats all done no errors is there anything els i need to do.
maybe some pointers about programming in a terminal as im used to the visual basic ide

[tschak909]

If you put it in /home, you should be able to open the share from a windows computer, and edit the files with an IDE, if you wish.

[Riggs]

yeah I map a network drive, now i've got to just pick a folder LOL
I looked at this page http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Programmer's_Guide
and there is a link http://plutohome.com/support/doxygen/ that leads no where

my 0.2 ...

not to prevent you from starting a developement rig .... but if in the mean time you really need an orbiter running under linux you may consider to install wine and install windows Orbiter with that.

I also have Lucid on my laptop, and I can say that Orbiter with wine runs fine.

I want to try and get a native orbiter so i can have it control the system.
right now I'm still try to find out where to start, so many folders and files and i have no idea what is what.
this is gonna take a hell of a long time way more than a year or so at this rate
