This time with the patch file. Extremely embarrassing but I've just had to boot to XP to attach a text file to an email!!! I've been using a webmail client for my work exchange account - it's not very good. I'll set up an alternate email address and reregister with the RGdev list so that I can email properly. Julie: Thanks for the encouragement - I'd definitely like to see as few layers as possible in the SW stack but understand that removing KDE dependance is not a priority at this time. Emanuel: My dad has always called me CJ, so I guess that should be sufficiently distinct from chris. I'll just have to get over the feeling that referring to oneself by initials or a nickname is slightly ... affected ... Anyway, hope the patch is useful. As I said in my last mail, my attempts to build QT4 are currently not going that well so it may be a short while before I can do anything useful! Regards CJ (!)

Now seems like we have second Chris. I've spent the last couple of days building RG1.7.2 on a PuppyLinux distro. Major issues were in compilation - 20 odd files had QString/std::string inconsistencies and one lacked #include <utility> for access to std::pair It would be nice if you created a patch of your findings. Such a patch could be put to trunk, which is currently RG1.7.* branch. We were planning to publish RG1.7.3, but it was cancelled. The reason for the cancellation could be put in such a way that due to limited resources of the developers, we did not want to drive the development of the stable branch (trunk) and the development branch (rg-qt4) too far apart. However, seems like there is some new development in the RG1.7.* branch. Anyway, now I've got it working, I love it. Only thing is (as you've noted on the wiki) QT4 port is imperative and removing kde dependence would be really nice. PuppyLinux is 90MB, QT4 is 30MB, RG is 10MB ... the necessary parts of kde (kdelib, arts and kdebase, afaik) are 130MB!!!!! I am also getting more and more excited of the fact that the QT4 branch is approaching the moment it compiles! My linux experience is fairly limited but I've got many years experience writing C++ code on lots of different systems (mostly embedded, as it goes, but I'm a fast learner!). I would be very happy to contribute (probably best at the C rewrite part of things) and if someone could point me at a task, I'll setup SVN and get on with it! Best Regards Chris You may choose from the following: (1) At the moment, it would be nice if you would pick up or own task. Fix your favorite bug or implement a feature request of your own. First task is to find out a task for you. (2) In practice, if you set up SVN and try to compile the QT4 branch, even the smallest patch which would help to compile the source would be nice. (3) We do have a ToDo list: http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/wiki/dev:summer_code But these tasks are not necessarily the easiest or the most obvious ones, or, they are UI related and can be reliably implemented only with a compiling source. Unfortunately, the development of new features is stalled, because only bugs fixes are put to 1.7.* branch and everybody is waiting rg-qt4 to compile before implementing new features. Otherwise, the stable branch and QT4 branch may be driven far apart. Best Regards, and Happy New Year, Heikki
