Hi all,
After fiddling around for quite some time I've added a new feature to
the GUI that should be rather visible when you start a new match. For
the user there isn't much to explain. I hope you just like it. (In
case somebody doesn't, should it be an option?)
I've just tested this, and I like it! Maybe an option, but don't stress it!
The arrow is a vector graphic and gets drawn anti-aliased.
We needed this!
For the impatient (who can't wait for an update from Nardy or Øystein)
there is an executable and a few necessary library files available at:
http://storm.prohosting.com/gnubg/ . Some of the libraries I use have
different versions from those of Nardy or Øystein. Unpack everything
into your installation folder of GNUbg. (I hope to have uploaded
everything well. Please mail me if there are problems.)
I'll try to release an other build tomorrow.
For those compiling themselves there are a few things to consider:
GNUbg depends now on LibArt. If you don't have the library it stays
like it was before, you simply don't get any arrow.
For Windows LibArt is available on
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617 and
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7382 . I've
opted for the first one, because it has a newer date and the project
seems to be more active.
In config.h you need #define HAVE_LIBART 1. And GNUbg needs to be
linked with -lart_lgpl . I'm not sure whether the library has the same
ending under *nix.
It was very simple to compile!
Could someone please adjust the automake stuff accordingly? I've put
the libart macro into m4 already. But I suppose in some config.* it
should be added. If you don't mind to explain what's necessary, I'd
also like to learn a thing or two.
I clueless when it comes to automake and autoconf. Jørn? Anyone else?
And finally, if anybody likes to make a nicer arrow: Please provide me
with B-spline coordinates in the area of [0,10]. I'm thinking e.g. of
a bent arrow and/or of the blended result of several objects (for a
highlight spot or the like).
;-)
Thanks alot!
