- since chameleon refactoring, application font is grey instead of solid black.
- the xfce4 theme-engine works with or without the clearlooks work around.
- I can't create build methods: typing "GUI MT SHARED" results in an empty combo box after closing the dialog. I install upp sources in /usr/local only now, if that matters
- the debian package doesn't ever work on debian, so please include "ubuntu" in the package name, to save people from wasting time

Thanks for reporting troubles (and apologies for producing them...)

In specific theme or for all themes?

Do not quite understand this. What is "xfce4 theme-engine"?

Does this mean a bug in U++?

Main configuration? (There is no "GUI MT SHARED" in build method).

BTW, some more info about your setup?

With clearlooks and xfce4.

No, sorry. xfce4 desktop comes with a gtk theme-engine of its own. Wanted to highlight, the problem with menu color looks more and more like a bug in clearlooks theme-engine.

Yeah, used the wrong name.
The main configuration forgets newly created configs immediately after the dialog is closed. The toolbar textbox is then empty. When pressing the build button, it falls back to "GUI".
I can launch theide-605 and then it works again. I successfully built theide-2007-b2 with it.
My guess is that it tries to write to a file under /usr/local and silently fails, when it can't due to file permissions. But just a guess.

Debian unstable, no GNOME desktop or KDE desktop or control-center installed, only the libraries to run the productivity apps.
Where does upp get the text color, and why would it default to grey instead of black?

sounds strange to me ... what does not work?
does theide run?
are the sources copied to the right place (/usr/share/upp)? Please check the /usr/share/upp/uppsrc/ide/version.h file if it states "2007.1beta2" it is the current one
what arch are you running on i386 or amd64 or anything else?

ubuntu uses glibc-2.4, debian unstable glibc-2.3.6.
any new version of glibc adds new symbols, which binaries come to depend on, when compiled against. binaries compiled with older glibc work on newer glibc, the other way around: not. There are tricks around it employed by apbuild from the autopackage project. Or the LSB sandbox. Of course this is all Linux style let's break ABIs twice a day before breakfast bollocks, proper Unices do not suffer from.

I might as well add the exact linker error:

guido@Sid:~/upp_2007.1beta2_i386/data/bin$ ldd theide
./theide: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by ./theide)

Well, that sounds reasonable explanation. It gets stored to the "package description" file which is inside package directory.

So if you have tried to modify main config of some package inside /usr/local, it had to fail.

Unfortunately, I am afraid I have a clue...

The problem is that there is no function available to get that individual color in Gtk API - you have to retrieve the pointer to the whole structure. Current U++ is designed to avoid including any Gtk headers, so we have to recreate the structure (see CtrlLib/ChGtk.cpp, beginning of file... Sad ). If layout changes between Gtk versions, we are in trouble...

Apparent solution is to start including gtk headers. But I wanted to try first....

I stopped copying sources to user directory, when I accidentally modified files all the time and needed to recover from the tarball. If the editor had undo feature on the other hand... Very Happy

But more importantly, it always bothered me I had to add and set the same package config again and again for each package. Would really be helpfull, if that could be globally synced as an option. At least theide should collect and list all the package configs in use, to pick from.

About the gtk thing, if those data structures are not part of the stable ABI, they can not be used by chameleon, I'm afraid.
Can't get it from a bitmap like you do with some other colors?

Tried to get the hang of it last night.
So I started to replace some pointer arithmetics with proper data structures, to make things a bit less obfuscated.
Didn't understand how you calculated the style offset, as the data we are interested in starts right at offset 0.
'Twas late at night. For lack of familiarity with the upp::Draw properties and chameleon properties (paper,face ...) I didn't get farther than this:

struct G_color { dword _; word r, g, b; };

enum { G_STATE_NORMAL, G_STATE_ACTIVE, G_STATE_PRELIGHT, G_STATE_SELECTED, G_STATE_INSENSITIVE };

// G_STATE_NORMAL -> CTRL_NORMAL
// G_STATE_PRELIGHT -> CTRL_HOT 
// G_STATE_ACTIVE -> CTRL_PRESSED
// G_STATE_SELECTED -> ??
// G_STATE_INSENSITIVE -> CTRL_DISABLED

struct G_style {
  G_Color fg[5];
  G_Color bg[5];
  G_Color light[5];
  G_Color dark[5];
  G_Color mid[5];
  G_Color text[5];
  G_Color base[5];
  G_Color text_aa[5];		/* Halfway between text/base */
  
  G_Color black;
  G_Color white;
};


I concluded, if I knew how things mapped to upp, I could have done it. But I must have overlooked something, if you couldn't get it done, I suppose.

OK, it is there now Wink

However, "menu/toolbar in a row" option grew toolbar a bit too wide (with two more icons), so I have decided to not present Edit icons (undo/redo/copy/paste/cut) in toolbar when option is active. In fact, on my notebook with 1024 wide screen it was already too wide anyway, so that is one more problem solved. (I think most people do not use toolbar buttons for copy/cut/paste anyway).

I am afraid this is not correct. The structure we are interested in is GtkStyle. While API docs list is as if offset is 0, in .h there is:

struct _GtkStyle
{
  GObject parent_instance;

  /*< public >*/
  
  GdkColor fg[5];
  GdkColor bg[5];
  GdkColor light[5];
  GdkColor dark[5];
  GdkColor mid[5];
  GdkColor text[5];
  GdkColor base[5];
  GdkColor text_aa[5];		/* Halfway between text/base */
  
  GdkColor black;
  GdkColor white;
  PangoFontDescription *font_desc;
  
  gint xthickness;
  gint ythickness;
  
  GdkGC *fg_gc[5];
  GdkGC *bg_gc[5];
  GdkGC *light_gc[5];
  GdkGC *dark_gc[5];
  GdkGC *mid_gc[5];
  GdkGC *text_gc[5];
  GdkGC *base_gc[5];
  GdkGC *text_aa_gc[5];
  GdkGC *black_gc;
  GdkGC *white_gc;
  
  GdkPixmap *bg_pixmap[5];

  /*< private >*/
  
  gint attach_count;
  
  gint depth;
  GdkColormap *colormap;
  GdkFont *private_font;
  PangoFontDescription *private_font_desc; /* Font description for style->private_font or %NULL */
  
  /* the RcStyle from which this style was created */
  GtkRcStyle	 *rc_style;

  GSList	 *styles;	  /* of type GtkStyle* */
  GArray	 *property_cache;
  GSList         *icon_factories; /* of type GtkIconFactory* */
};


I agree that introducing fixed offset is too fragile solution. I am afraid that only correct way is to include gtk headers. Very unhappy about that...

(Alternative solution would be to check gtk version and have table of offsets.... but that is quite fragile as well).

Compiles ide on OsX without any troubles (Universal) and running 701b2 ide compiles my client without troubles.

For those wanting to do Universal, the "ar" in OsX is the Gnu ar and can not handle fat files. One could change upp to use "libtool files.o -o output", but I simply replaced "ar" with an sh script that calls libtool instead.

The rest works fine after setting Build Envrionment, and hacking in Link Options. (go on! add link options to Build Environment!) Smile

Another note, work OsX lease was up, so the dual PPC was replaced with dual Intel. But I still have access to make sure PPC runs.
