Mixxx is a cross-platform application (Linux, MacOS, Windows).
Is ctrla also a cross-platform library ?
Currently nope, it is a WIP library developed and tested on Linux
only. The APIs are not
OS-specific in any way, and the libraries (currently) in use all claim
to be cross-platform.
That means *in theory*, Ctlra is cross-platform too, but actually
compiling/testing/etc is
required (and as you probably know, that's a huge amount of work :)
ok, so is could be "theorically" possible to have ctrla croos-platform
some time in the future ;)
If this is not the case, it is a show stopper IMHO.
I understand that for Mixxx it would be ideal if Ctlra supported all
targets - totally understand.
As you're aware x-platform development requires significant time,
testing, and access to the
platforms themselves. I do not have access to large quantities of
time, or OsX/Win platforms.
no problem, htat's where the community is helpful : divide time required
and access to hardware into smaller chunks
I'll ask a few questions, just to get understand your point-of-view
that this could be a show stopper.
How much of the blueprint / wiki / youtube-video / etc are you
familiar with? I'd like to avoid
sweeping the Ctlra idea off the table just because its not currently
cross platform - even if it is only
a POC on how to implement hotplug/HD screens, isn't that a valuable
contribution to Mixxx?
Well, when talking about show stopper, I meant that we should not
release a version of Mixxx with a different user experience on the
different platforms and that we should try to have a similar experience
on all platform the most that we can.
This is my opinion (only mine, I won't talk for others).
My intent is not to discourage you from integrating Ctrla to Mixxx. Each
feature of Mixxx has started as a POC and has been polished before
reaching the application and being shipped in a release.
It's more like a goal to achieve ;)
Sorry if my message sounded a bit rude, this was not my intent. I find
the idea really interresting.
We can start on linux only to prove the working of the concept, but I
think we should resolve the cross-platform thing before shipping a
version of Mixxx with ctrla.
Thanks for your input - of course when suggesting a new method/library
to do things, there will
be "bumpy" parts that need to be worked through, and I appreciate your
highlighting that in this
case cross-platform support is likely going to be one of those bumpy
parts!
that's the point :)
regards,
sb
