Enna Compilation on Ubuntu

As neither eina nor EFL are released, you must compile them. They are Ubuntu packages for EFL but they are old, and API have changed. If you use them, compilation should failed. It’s better to compile all libraries with your little fingers 🙂
The result :

Migration de digital-corner.org

Depuis une semaine maitenant, http://www.digital-corner.org a changé de place. Il ya 3 ans, lorsque je me suis lancé dans l’écriture de Enna, j’ai acheté ce nom de domaine avec un pack 50Mo, une base mysql et un Php préinstallé. A l’époque je me demandai ce que j’allais bien pouvoir faire de ces 50Mo. Mais apres avoir installé plusieurs CMS (joomla, modx et maintenant drupal) et avoir perdu les droits d’écriture sur certains fichier, les 50Mo ne suffisaient plus. Depuis une semaine digital-corner a donc changé de serveur toujours chez Amen, avec 5Go 5 base mysql et plein d’autre bonus dont je ne me servirais surement pas.

Cette migration m’a permit de fignoler la config Drupal, d’ajouter une authentification reCaptcha sur les commentaires qui ne fonctionnait pas sur l’ancien serveur, ne me demandai pas pourquoi, certainement encore une fois les droits d’écriture perdu sur un fichier ….
Je vais essayer dans les jours futur d’amliorer le theme du site, pour qu’il soit plus personalisé et plus proche de l’esprit de Enna. J’ajouterai également une section maemo/N810 pour que les personnes qui le souhaitent puisse tester le nouveau Enna sur leur N8x0.

Road to Enna NextGen

For Two month, I’m writing new version of Enna. As you can see In my previous post, this version run on Maemo. But the main goal is always to write a complete Media Center arround EFL libs for PC. You can found this new version here :

svn co https://enna.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/enna/trunk/ng/enna enna
and as usual :
cd enna && ./autogen.sh && make && make install

At the moment you should be able to play music file if you have backend compiled and installed. The first backend you can use is emotion. But this weekend GeeXBox Guys added new backend based on libplayer. Thanks Ben to have added this new feature. Development go fast, and I hope to release an alpha version soon with few features : Only Music and Video playback. Development of new modules is fast (Only 1 hour to write libplayer backend for example) and new plugins should come soon.
I tought to write squeezecenter plugin, to control this network player with enna.
And if i have time, I will provide deb packages for maemo.

More comming soon 🙂

Enna on maemo

I have’nt blogged for a long time, but today I have an exciting news. Enna works on N810. So for the moment it’s a bit quick and dirty, I have to polish packages, and enna have not a lot of functions yet, but as you can see in this video, EFL are very awesome. They are really really fast. A big thanks to all guys that have speed this amazing libs. You have done a really good job !

You can download this litle video here : Format Mpeg4/ACC 58secondes 4.4Mo
Or the youtube version :

More coming soon …

Mockups

I work hard on the next version of enna. I have review a lot of old old, corrected it and now I’m working on the future theme. People don’t like the previous brown version, so I decided to have a new theme more actual. Following, mockups I’m working on. I’m not completly happy with this mockups, and new version is in preparation. I think that to have a darker background, and saturated colors for selected parts could be really beautifull.

Enna Mockup 2

I have design mockups for N810 too, and I would like have this kind of think on this beautifull device.

Work is in progress to integrate these artworks in Enna code !

Evas Reflection #2

I played a little bit more with evas and reflection. In my last post I proposed a way to add reflection with Evas. But this code was false.

Correct code have been added to enna, and you can view the result here :

Evas Reflection

• First you need to add alpha layer, to enable premultiplication. It’s done when you load an image like png with alpha or if you add directly this alpha layer with : evas_object_image_alpha_set (Evas_Object *obj, Evas_Bool has_alpha)
• When I copy pixess, I have add a bug. The pixels indexes were false when I flip the image. I have correct this in the new code.

To be integrated in Enna, I have write a Evas_Smart Object, here is the code :

Enna on Enlightenment’s CVS

Great news for enna,
two weeks ago it have been added to CVS’s Enlightenment. Thanks to Vincent to add it 🙂
I keep sourceforge’s SVN for the moment. Last changes can be found on SVN and I merge the code with CVS one when I have stable code.
I’ll do my best to keep enna compiling agains last EFL changes. So if you have troubles compiling or running Enna, please try with CVS sources.

You can checkout the code with the folowing command:
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.enlightenment.org:/var/cvs/e co misc/enna
