GtkDialog1-1.3 configure error: can't find gdk_pixbuf_config
./configure can't find gdk_pixbuf_config The only conf file I see is usr/lib/gdk_pixbuf_xlibConf.sh. I'm trying to install GtkDialog on an XBOX with XDSL (DSL 4.4, Linux 2.4.31, gtk/gdk/gdk-x11 2.10.9). Can someone hint how to solve this? Note: XDSL comes standard with gtk/gdk 1.2 and after a standa...

Nice and good programming exercise!

Icon programming. I've been digging lately to find a graphics programming language without bloating dependencies. I think I found one: Icon. You may never have heard of it. See here: http://www.cs.arizona.edu/icon/index.htm It's ancient in software/computer terms (1998). The earliest mention of it t...

Hi greengeek, thanks for looking up Puppies with RTkernel. I will to try out either of them as soon as I have stabilized my program. These Puppies are anyway very interesting if I ever pick up again on a neglected hobby: composing electronic music. I have some synthesizers, keyboards and other midi ...

Thanks for the tip! It started me thinking. I apologize for the somewhat lengthy post below but it helped me my thoughts organized. Please bear with me. I indeed think that counting the amount of GPS sentences with invalid or no information is a way to detect an error. However, error checking outsid...

Yes, the process can be done entirely in Python. However, I stay away from it because such Python applications generally require large libraries. That doesn't do well on my old laptop with limited resources. It's a hobby and challenge to do things off the beaten paths of Python, Java, Ruby, Lua, Mat...

It's streamed packages, sort of. Every second a comma separated string is sent. In each string are headers like $GPGGA or $GPRMC or $GPGSA (and more, depends on the GPS module). After the header follows particular data, ending with a \n. So, yes, you have to separate the packages from the stream and...

Yes, dzen2 does what I need but in some respects it's a bit cumbersome in the way I use it. And yes, I'm looking for something that is simpeler, programming wise. In the mean time I looked into Cairo and Pango. A dedicated application can be written with it, but I quickly got lost in C programming :...

Looking for a simple, fast routine to display text, images
Attached a snapshot of a car GPS program that I'm working on. It runs on an old laptop with Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.6 installed. The program is a Bash (sh) script that makes extensive use of awk to read and process GPS text strings. Update of most of the white text and the GPS quality indicators (mode, s...

@technosaurus A bit off topic... I have mutilated your original C script just to enable a windowless svg image. I don't need a watch (inotify) or anything else, except that it is there in the background until my program decides to kill it. I run it from BASH with 'runbgrpic3' (after compilation) and...

dzen2 - use of fonts
Using Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.4.12 dzen is a configurable, flexible utility to show text on screen or even menu's. I can't choose other fonts than 'fixed' in dzen2, though fc-list and xfontsel show fonts like courier, dejavu sans, nimbus etc. I have not been able to find a solution. There's Archlinux inf...
