Is it not possible for one of you clever Linux Bods to just port RR over to Linux as Guino releases the Source Code...?

Not unless RoadRunner was written on top of cross-platform libraries like QT, SDL, etc AND is written in a portable language like C/C++.

No ;-)

Thats why I asked.

I've done some programming of large databases in Access some years ago, and have a little knowledge of VB & Fortran but thats it...

Spent 15 years building and setting up systems and recently maintaining W2k Server network, so have quite good knowledge of MS OS's but nothing about Linux, apart from some very basic Unix commands from Uni... I installed Mandrake once but switch back to MS after a lot of fustration. I would like to get to know Linux though... Just don't know where to start.

Hello everyone

I'm kinda new to the car pc business and i just got my setup working after a lot of fiddling around.
Now I'm looking for a good front-end in linux and since I don't want to install a dedicated distribution, headunit seems like a good (only?) choice.
You guy(s) have done a great job with it already I just have a couple of questions.

I got the 0.3 version of here, of the sourceforge website and I got a cvs checkout also and I seem to always have the same problem. Maybe I'm just using it wrong ?
Anyhow, what happens is everytime is choose an album or song in the AudioBrowserScreen it plays that song but afterwards it always plays a song from the first album in my music folder, I can't seem to make it play another album as a whole (no matter the playmode).

So i don't now if you're still working on the project, if so i'd be willing to give you a hand as I'm probably gonna mess with it a little myself.

thanks

paul

yay! go paul! =)

i understand quibble or less of the sourcecode but i'd like to run headunit...

keep us posted!

I'd be more than willing to try and help with the development, but I don't know much about QT. Don't you have to purchase QT in order to develop with it?

NoPistonPC · 05-10-2005, 10:20 AM

QT is very easy to pick up if you know C++ already. And there are some very good online tutorials out there. Once you learn it, you will really like the way it's designed. You can get the QT libraries for free if you run linux. If you are developing in Windows, send me a PM.

For those of you who are picking up where I left off, I am always reachable via PM so feel free to ask me questions. Also, if you would like me to add more comments or document certain sections of the code, just let me know.

I'm very happy to hear that there are people interested in continuing the development of headunit.

Good luck!

I'm trying to bring Headunit back to life. NoPistonPC added me as a developer on the sourceforge website. I've been doing some changes. Hopefully this project will take off.

AudioPlayerScreen.cpp: In member function `void AudioPlayerScreen::loadFolder(QString&, bool, int, long int)':
AudioPlayerScreen.cpp:320: error: `malloc' undeclared (first use this function)
AudioPlayerScreen.cpp:320: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.)
AudioPlayerScreen.cpp:321: error: `srand' undeclared (first use this function)
AudioPlayerScreen.cpp:327: error: `rand' undeclared (first use this function)
make: *** [AudioPlayerScreen.o] Error 1

Can someone help me with this compilation error?(cvs version)

millec · 06-10-2005, 06:38 PM

#include <stdlib.h>

If that's not right for your system, 'man malloc' will tell you which header file to include. Same with srand/rand

well..tnx it works.Is there anyway of when I click GPS button to .....run an application?I tried before(tried to learn qt for it)..I dunno but if vmware or wine could run when I clicked GPS I would switch back to linux again

Just go to the sf site Headunit and post a Feature request... Do you know any good mapping apps that work with wine? What we can do is let you enter the command for the GPS button until we get something good going.

Anyway.. post a request so we can remember...

forevertheuni · 06-11-2005, 03:53 PM

lol ok i'll try to post ..after my monday exam...hmmm destinator 2 worked with wine(crossover wine I think ) never could make map monkey or destinator 3 work(I don't know how to config wine about the dll's) I was thinking in running vmware with mapmonkey.
OH by the way if we press GPS button....we need a (headunit) button like the one in frodoplayer..(HIDE) so that we can go back
