Suddenly Sourceforge has changed svn repository address, again ;). You should be able to checkout latest xynth sources with;

$ svn co https://xynth.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xynth/trunk xynth

Cheers!

Resume file transfer with scp, and rsync

the most important drawback of scp is, it can not resume a stopped transfer. here is the solution;

for starting the transfer;
# scp source destination

for resuming the transfer;
# rsync --partial --progress --rsh=ssh source destination

OR;

# alias scpr=rsync --partial --progress --rsh=ssh
# scpr source destionation

have fun...

Setting up PPTP VPN connection on linux

I added a new document about setting pptp vpn connection on linux. this is not a big deal, but i know most of linux users can not connect their box to a remote pptp vpn server. and, i was one of them, too ;)

I hope, you will find the document usefull.
Enjoy...

Xynth SVN Repository has changed!

Suddenly Sourceforge has changed svn repository address. You should be able to checkout latest xynth sources with;

$ svn co https://xynth.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xynth/trunk xynth

New stable release date is somehow being late - main reason is lack of spare time -, and seems that it will be later than I expected. While waiting for the new release, feel free to use latest svn version. It should be stable enough.

I am working on light weight widget library, core enhancements - especially build system -, and porting issues. Widget library is designed to be so small that you do not want to use ;), unless you are working on a real embedded device. For those waiting for a full featured widget library the gtk+-2.10.x port is on development after a very long delay, I hope next release will have the gtk port.

Cheers!

Xynth 0.8.40 is released !

I have released 0.8.40. in this release no new feature has been added but lots of minor bugs has been fixed and the architecture has been improved especially the server is faster now.

in addition to this, miscellaneous libraries and application patches within the package has been improved. you can access changelog from here.

the other important innovation is a new port of the well known jvm kaffe's peerless awt backend. this means that the java applications which has graphical user interface can work on xynth.

in the source package you may find links, sdl, mplayer, gtk and Kaffe patches but also for now on xynth has cvs commit access to kaffe. thanks to kaffe team. Feature releases and cvs release of kaffe will include Xynth port. for that reason there is no need to use the Kaffe patch in Xynth source package for future releases of kaffe.

you may find all the latest file for this release at, http://sourceforge.net/projects/xynth or http://gsulinux.org/~distch/projects/xynth

Enjoy!

Documents/Slackware Linux on Thinkpad R52 - Update

added information about howto upgrade the kernel to linux-2.6.15.2, and be wireless.

Xynth 0.8.00 is released!

Here we come up the with the 0.8.00 version of Xynth.

The main goal of this release is the win32 port. You can find out the recent changes in Changelog.

For us it is another validation of our low layer APIs. There is only two things you need to have. Thread implementation and the video driver for Xynth. Thats all! To see that how it is (easily) portable platform to platform you may have a look at the Makefile.cfg's.

You may find the latest sources and also the win32 binary on http://sourceforge.net/projects/xynth

Enjoy

Xynth on GDI

Xynth has been ported to GDI with Caglar`s great effort (xynth_migw_gdi_01.png). Updates will be avaible on next up comming release (v0.8.00). Keep watching ChangeLog for updates.

GDI port enables to use xynth on microsoft windows, this is just a proof of concept to show the portbility, and system independency. nothing more.

Happy new year to everyone ;)
