[Vala] Program doesn't quit
For the past year or so off and on I've been working on a pet project. Between the time spent rewriting various parts of it over and over, and trying to learn Vala/GTK, it's taking me a lot longer than I hoped it would. Anyway, here is my project on Github: https://github.com/steveno/balistica While I'm sure there are plenty of improvements that can be made (patches welcome!) I have one problem that's been driving me crazy for a while now and I'm desperate for help now to solve it. I assume the problem has to be in src/BalisticaApplication.vala or src/MainWindow.vala. If anyone is willing to offer any suggestions I'd greatly appreciate it! Steven N. Oliver ___ vala-list mailing list vala-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
Re: [Vala] Program doesn't quit
Hi, I don't know gtk.application / window very well, but are you supposed to run the main loop manually even when using gtkapplication? What happens if you remove Gtk.main call at line 58 of https://github.com/steveno/balistica/blob/master/src/MainWindow.vala Ciao, Andrea Il 03/dic/2013 19:33 Steven Oliver oliver.ste...@gmail.com ha scritto: For the past year or so off and on I've been working on a pet project.

You didn't really describe the symptoms (in fact, you didn't even mention what the problem was in the body of your e-mail), but it's probably a safe guess that you're not calling Gtk.main_quit(). https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala/GTKSample has some examples. For the simple cases, people generally just connect it to the main window's destroy signal: window.destroy.connect (Gtk.main_quit); Once you invoke Gtk.main_quit(), your program will resume execution by returning from the Gtk.main() call. -Evan signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ vala-list mailing list vala-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
Re: [Vala] Program doesn't quit
Evan, My apologies for apparently not clearly stating the issue. Here's try number 2: 1) Run the program. 2) Close the GUI that pops up 3) The GUI goes away as expected but the process is still running in my terminal As for you suggestion, I already have that line in my code. Line 54 of MainWindow.vala. Andrea, Good guess! I hadn't actually tried that one. That didn't fix it though :( I'm now left with the process still there but now with the following error message: (balistica:2473): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_main_quit: assertion `main_loops != NULL' failed Steven N.

Re: [Vala] Program doesn't quit
As a quick fix, you could replace the gtk_main_quit function with another function that has the same signature, but contains the exit method, which will be sure to bump you out of the program. Just be sure to declare the exit method in your file. extern void exit(int exit_code); void quit() { exit(0); } On 12/3/2013 5:24 PM, Steven Oliver wrote: Evan, My apologies for apparently not clearly stating the issue.

Re: [Vala] Program doesn't quit
I figured out my own issue. Well, sort of anyway. In order to fix it I removed the MainWindow class that overrode Gtk.Window. I moved the code that would have been there back to my BalisticaApplication class. Now it works. https://github.com/steveno/balistica/commit/0a11c5e1610acce2a7294b2865ec115caac31261 Steven N.
