Re: Video chat activity (was: Re: C and Sugar/GTK)
Hi Peter, After looking at Empathy and the empathy-gtk library, it would seem that its a dead project as far as an installable libempathy-gtk.so type thing. I asked the telepathy mailing list about this and they said that it is now just statically compiled into Empathy. They recommended proceeding with telepathy and/or folks. With that said, it may be worth making a new version of empathy with a sugar UI or something. Maybe the code in libemapthy-gtk will work in such a way. Definitely worth pursuing, though.

Re: Video chat activity (was: Re: C and Sugar/GTK)
Hi Paul, what happens if you simply install and run the gnome version of empathy on an XO? that would seem like the first step. :-) (and i'm interested in hearing how it works!) Good question, I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work providing the dependencies are also installed. When I get some more free time I will try to compile empathy and deps and let you know what happens.

Re: Video chat activity (was: Re: C and Sugar/GTK)
Hi Sascha, I have looked at one of the previous projects, OVC, and am working with one of the students who helped write it. I was not aware of the other projects so I will definitely take a look at them. I agree, fixing old code would be substantially easier than writing a new one from scratch.

Re: Video chat activity (was: Re: C and Sugar/GTK)
Hi Peter, Personally I believe the best way to move forward with a Voice/Video Conference Activity is to look at empathy and associated projects. I believe there was plans to produce a libempathy for reuse although I don't know the status of that. By using empathy/cheese and other components it would integrate with our current comms stack and allow sharing of things like account data and contacts as well as being transferable between gnome and sugar. I will take a look at the latest libempathy. I was looking at the dbus interface for interacting with sugar and it seems as though a video chat app could be written with telepathy as well. I will look at the previous projects sometime today and see what they do/use. I think if the previous projects are using telepathy, then its worth sticking with that, otherwise if they use libempathy, then I could update the code to use the latest empathy as a start.

Re: Video chat activity (was: Re: C and Sugar/GTK)
Hi Peter, Empathy uses telepathy and it would save you having to deal with the upper levels like glueing telepathy, gstreamer, account/contacts management and various inputs together. Basically libempathy sits on top of all that so you could use the guts of empathy and just implement the Sugar UX for it. That would be really nice and convenient. I will definitely look into that since that would save a huge amount of effort, to be sure. How much work is implementing a sugar UX?

C and Sugar/GTK
Hello List, I have been starting some work on a video chat activity for the XO which I would like to use C to develop. Is it possible to interface with sugar from C? If so, are there any tutorials describing the process?

Re: C and Sugar/GTK
Hi Rafael, You can work with the low_level_activity_api This looks like what I need. Thanks, much appreciated. -- Alex Waterman - Computer Engineer (215-896-4920) imnotlisten...@gmail.com amw2...@rit.edu Support or create OpenSource ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
