| sonda | hello | 11:47 |
|---|---|---|
| sonda | i want to write my own application in ubuntu | 11:47 |
| sonda | i know c,c++ | 11:47 |
| sonda | how to get started? | 11:48 |
| sonda | my idea is to write a note taking application which will integrate with some database may be mysql... i am not sure | 11:49 |
| sonda | to provide facilities like find as you type, tags, etc.. | 11:50 |
| sonda | right now i use zim... its nice but it doesn't have search as you type feature | 11:52 |
| tsimpson | you should decide if you want to write a GTK+, GNOME, Qt, KDE, or fancy-pants QML application first | 11:55 |
| sonda | i can learn qt quickly i guess | 11:57 |
| sonda | which one is the most widely used? | 11:59 |
| tsimpson | it's hard to say, but I would speculate that Qt is the most widely used | 11:59 |
| tsimpson | I'm one of those Qt fanatics though, so I may be biased | 12:00 |
| sonda | is it free | 12:00 |
| sonda | or i would need license? | 12:00 |
| tsimpson | it's free | 12:01 |
| tsimpson | you only need a license if you plan on changing the Qt source and not sharing those changes (closed-source proprietary applications) | 12:01 |
| sonda | No I am not that intelligent | 12:02 |
| tsimpson | but it's LGPL, so you can use it freely for open-source stuff | 12:02 |
| sonda | I want to use my free time productively. so thinking of starting with something | 12:02 |
| sonda | i have never done such things before | 12:02 |
| sonda | but my inner voice says I can do it | 12:03 |
| tsimpson | you likely already have the Qt libraries installed, you just need the development packages with an "apt-get install qt-sdk" | 12:03 |
| sonda | any website for help | 12:03 |
| tsimpson | then you should see the Qt Creator IDE installed | 12:03 |
| tsimpson | http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/ | 12:04 |
| sonda | i have heard qt can be used on many platforms | 12:04 |
| sonda | specific to qt on ubuntu any website | 12:04 |
| sonda | or the os doesn't matter? | 12:05 |
| tsimpson | you don't need to know anything specific really, it's designed so you write the same C++ code and it works everywhere | 12:05 |
| sonda | can i get help here regarding coding | 12:06 |
| tsimpson | http://developer.ubuntu.com/ may have some more info, but last I checked some of it's links for Qt were out of date | 12:06 |
| tsimpson | you can ask here, but this channel is rather.. dead | 12:06 |
| tsimpson | there is #qt though | 12:06 |
| sonda | oh i see | 12:07 |
| sonda | thanks simpson | 12:10 |
| sonda | hope to see you soon, when i am stuck with something | 12:11 |
| tsimpson | well I'm also in #qt so I'll probably see any questions you ask ;) | 12:12 |
| sonda | cool :) | 12:12 |
| sonda | one more thing | 12:15 |
| sonda | for database can i use mysql | 12:15 |
| sonda | i think it comes with ubuntu right? | 12:15 |
| tsimpson | I don't think it comes with ubuntu by default | 12:17 |
| tsimpson | there is SQLite installed by default though | 12:17 |
| sonda | oh i see | 12:17 |
| sonda | it might be sufficient right? | 12:18 |
| tsimpson | it likely is | 12:18 |
| tsimpson | there's also that couchdb/desktopcouch thing that ubuntu likes to use | 12:18 |
| sonda | whats that | 12:19 |
| sonda | do i need any special learning for that | 12:19 |
| tsimpson | "RESTful document oriented database" apparently | 12:19 |
| tsimpson | it's not SQL as far as I know, so you'd need to get to grips with whatever API it uses | 12:20 |
| tsimpson | but SQLite is always there, and Qt has built-in support for SQLite too | 12:20 |
| sonda | ok | 12:20 |
| sonda | which ide u use for coding | 12:24 |
| tsimpson | depends on my mood and the scale of coding I'm doing, either just a plain text editor like kate or nano, or I use Qt Creator | 12:25 |
| tsimpson | and maybe kdevelop now it's getting stable again | 12:26 |
| sonda | any ide that has intellisense? | 12:27 |
| tsimpson | Qt Creator has code completion, yes | 12:28 |
| sonda | ok great | 12:29 |
| sohail_ | hey guys, I'm trying to install both libssl-dev and libssl-dev:i386 on 12.04 but I get the following error: http://paste.lisp.org/display/134608 - I need to build against both 32 and 64-bit :( | 14:08 |
| sohail_ | (it's a conflict) | 14:09 |
| sohail_ | anyone know how to fix it? | 14:10 |

| christoffer | Hi, I'm trying to use Glade to design a Toolbar with "Text beside icons" but it doesn't seem to work. "Text below icons" works just fine. | 14:24 |
| christoffer | anyone know if there is a known bug reported for this? | 14:24 |
| christoffer | aha, had to mark the toolbutton "important" | 14:28 |
| christoffer | that doesn't make sense :P | 14:28 |
| wed_ | hi | 15:45 |
| wed_ | i have a question about packaging for the ubuntu software center: does the package to upload be a .deb file? if so, how do i create one? i dont use the pygobject api. | 15:46 |
| ziyadb | Good day all! | 18:26 |
| ziyadb | Glad to see the number of users in this channel. | 18:26 |
| ziyadb | I'll be a regular from here on as I am working on developing a heavily customized app. | 18:27 |
| ziyadb | I'm also new to the platform :D | 18:27 |
| JanC | ziyadb: thanks for staying and wanting to become a regular; too many people just drop in, ask a question, and leave again before anybody can answer... :-/ | 22:38 |
| JanC | I guess it's not obvious for everybody dat IRC != instant messaging | 22:38 |
| JanC | also, we need a lot more users to make the channel more active ☺ | 22:40 |
| dually | I see that qml can call XMLHttpRequest(); with GET parameter. Is it possible to POST as well? | 23:10 |
