[NeoJinux]

Hi all,

I have to patch appuifw2 in order to build it and deploy on S60 3rd

So what was the outcome? Did you manage to build it successfully? No?

[the86hitman]

great post, finally eradicated a huge number of errors in my build.
now there doesnt appear to be any project errors, but it still fails to compile due to errors in actual python files, eg:

error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before "PyThread_init_thread"[/Symbian/9.2/S60_3rd_FP1/EPOC32/include/python25/pythread.h]

any ideas as to how i can resolve this?

currently with pys60 1.9.6 files.

btw, i'm compiling to port to PyS60 1.9.

[NeoJinux]

yes, i managed to build it and test it on both emulator and phone hardware for s60 3rd

[NeoJinux]

Hi the86hitman

I'm also compiling it on Carbide C/C++ 2.0 with s60 SDK FP2 v1.1 and pys60 sdk 1.9.6

Your quoted error seems to reflect that "PyAPI_FUNC" is not defined
If you really have a hard time figuring it out, you could send me the full compile log.

[the86hitman]

Hi NeoJinux,

Well done with the build. Do you have a working Appuifw2 pyd/sis now for the phone? Would be great if you could share - i'm happy to test it out

[NeoJinux]

Hi the86hitman,

I could send you the pyd and py in email, please send a personal message to me with your email.

But it would take me a while to package the sis, so hope the pyd & py is good for you already

[the86hitman]

thanks for mailing the pyd and py file.. transferred to phone and but was surprised with the "dlopen: Load failed" error :s will try packaging tomorow and installing properly..

[the86hitman]

packaged using simplesis... now receiving the error "SystemError: dynamic module not initialized properly" ... maybe my fone doesnt like python

[the86hitman]

looked through the compile log with more detail and found it was failing to compiled due to "#include <pythread.h>"

managed to compile the extension, installed on fone and it works!

[announce] Appuifw2 now ported to 1.9.x with thanks to NeoJinux!

[NeoJinux]

Thank you for help in testing

I think we should all thanks arkadius for writing appuifw2. I just do the patching

The pys60 really lack ui widget, that's make rapid prototyping real harsh.

[the86hitman]

a UI widget? how would that work?
Few months back I was working on an alternative Python Home Screen for my E71 ("hStandby", http://my-symbian.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38769), with the intention of making it widget-like with customisable plugins.. The project halted because I upgraded to 1.9.x and the app relies heavily on appuifw2 and various other extentions yet to be ported. Is this what you are referring to?

[NeoJinux]

Thank you for showing me a very nice home screen.

What I mean is that the ui components on pys60 is very minimum, basically just listbox, text and canvas.

Maybe I'm too used to ui framework like gtk & qt with tonnes of ui component to chose from

[the86hitman]

apologies, now I undestand what you meant. I agree, with FP1 and FP2 there are undoubtedly newer ui components - i think the pys60 appuifw/appuifw2 needs a big update

[the86hitman]

hi everyone,

just an update:
Added left/right arrow functionality to Text_display control that allows page scroll up/down when scroll_by_text=True.

extension downloadable from my site below.
