| BHSPiMonkey | Is it possible to write an Ubuntu SDK app that uses an installed C library (dynamically linked)? | 23:31 |
| daker | BHSPiMonkey: AFAIK no | 23:38 |
| BHSPiMonkey | Hmm | 23:38 |
| daker | you only have the right to read/write your own directory | 23:38 |
| BHSPiMonkey | Could it be done with a custom QML C++ plugin that gets distributed with the app? | 23:39 |
| daker | BHSPiMonkey: you mean your own lib ? | 23:39 |
| BHSPiMonkey | daker: no, a lib that would be a dependency (e.g. libvorbis) | 23:40 |
| daker | BHSPiMonkey: i see so i think you need to ship the lib(.so) with the click package | 23:41 |
| daker | always remember your only allowed to read/write the app dir | 23:42 |
| BHSPiMonkey | That would be unfortunate. I'd just want to be able to ship a frontend to an installed library on the system. Like a media converter that relies on libffmpeg | 23:43 |
| BHSPiMonkey | If you're only allowed access to the app dir, how could anyone write something equivalent to Shotwell or Banshee? | 23:43 |
| daker | using APIs | 23:45 |
| daker | http://developer.ubuntu.com/publish/apps/security-policy-for-click-packages/ | 23:46 |
| BHSPiMonkey | Interesting. | 23:50 |
| BHSPiMonkey | I'm having trouble figuring out how I would even read files that the user wanted me to work with | 23:51 |
| daker | BHSPiMonkey: using ContentHUB | 23:51 |
| daker | BHSPiMonkey: http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/qml/sdk-1.0/Ubuntu.Content.index/ | 23:52 |
| daker | BHSPiMonkey: it only support reading the Pictures folder for now & it will be extended for Videos, etc... | 23:53 |
| BHSPiMonkey | daker: basically, I was interested in writing a frontend for an emulator which exists as a library (libmupen64plus2) in the ubuntu repos | 23:55 |
| daker | before you start, you need to check if the libmupen64plus2 package is installed by default on the phone images | 23:56 |
| BHSPiMonkey | My thought was that I could write a nice pretty Ubuntu-SDK-themed frontend, and in theory it would be able to work on any system where that lib was available | 23:56 |
| daker | and i think it is | 23:56 |
| BHSPiMonkey | daker: why on earth would it be installed by default on any distribution image? | 23:57 |
| daker | i don't think it is installed by default on the phone images* | 23:57 |
| BHSPiMonkey | right | 23:57 |
| BHSPiMonkey | but I'm not really trying to get it working on phones; hopefully the platform-agnostic nature in which I'd write the frontend would allow for a user to get it working on a phone, but that's a secondary goal | 23:58 |
| daker | BHSPiMonkey: i see | 23:59 |
