[WIP] new GUI for debug console

[MrFlibble]

So just for fun.

Better yet if I can make it work on alpine x86!!

That was far easier than expected.

VM with 256M ram, 4g HD, and 1 CPU. Installed alpine x64. Didn't take long to figure out what was needed to build the bundle. Installed the resulting tarball. It appeared in the menu, and worked. The python version works too. I can report that the alt-tab icon works in openbox.

The whole system is still well under 2Gb. Maybe a sane-ish purpose for my old eee700, if I don't add the build tools. Now.. where the heck is it?

Guys, are you still interested maintaining your code on Github?
Then register accounts and let us know them here or PM them to a project admin.

Yes! I've some (arguably) normal things to do for the weekend. Will do the github gubbins at my next 'proper' sitting.

You should now have an invitation for the oolite-debug-console repo in your mailbox.

Just to let everybody know: We have now builds of the Oolite Debug Console for all three platforms (Linux, Mac, Windows).
While I was able to test the functionality of the Linux build, the other two just exist. Could someone check if the Windows version and the Mac version work?

If yes, we can merge the changes to the master branch.

The Windows build fails to run, apparently because twisted has not been included in the package. Here is the error:

Thank you for bringing it up. I added twisted on the windows build environment. Could you please check again?

Still error, I'm afraid.



I think this time it's missing pyWin32.

At least it is no more the previous error....
Here is another attempt:

I admit I am poking in the dark. Not my programming language. Not my operating system. All I can do is follow guidance from people who test this release.

Yay, we did it!
Thank you so much for your support, @another_commander.

Now the last item to be verified is the MacOs build. Unless that might be not required at all. I heard the Mac version of Oolite comes with a built-in debug console. Plus we do not compile Oolite for Mac any more anyway...

Looks like Oolite Mac supports both an integrated and an external debug console:

So I'll leave the MacOs build as it is. If someone complains we can still improve it.
The current status (v2) is released now.

oolite.space still has links to the older v1.6 console in the downloads page. This should be updated. The packaging has also changed. Previously we had one package for both Windows and Linux, now it is one package per platform. This has to also be updated on the website.

Thank you for pointing out. I'll take a look.
