Hi everybody,
the pgl-launcher and pgl-toolbar (along with the other applets we have
so far) have come a long way and are ready to replace omnibar for good.
However, i think the one missing piece is automatic packaging of
applications in the build system. This would mean:
- autoconf creates an 'app package' (a directory) for each app,
containing the finished binary and the pgl-launcher config file.
This package should also contain any extra data files needed to
make the app go, and the apps should find these data files relative
to the location of its binary.
- the 'make install' copies these app packages to a central location
where pgl-launcher can find them
- pgl-toolbar is configured by default to load at least pgl-launcher,
and maybe others like pgl-clock and pgl-cpu
I think this is a necessary step toward making PicoGUI a usable
environment for embedded systems. Even though most embedded systems
will be configured manually or via another system, it is important that
pgserver on the desktop support PGL so people know it's out there and
use it.
Only problem is, i don't know much about autoconf :)
Any hints, Frederic?
