Adding snapshot of (basically untranslated) Magic tool docs
in the other locales currently supported by 'tuxpaint-docs'.
Update Makefile to install them.
All old, outdated, manually-generated translations of docs now
go into an "outdated" subdirectory. The "tuxpaint-docs"/gettext-based
ones are the "first-class citizens".
Don't install the docs directory's "Makefile", or the instructions
for how to release Tux Paint, as those are not necessary to end users.
Unlike "directional" brushes, in which a 3x3 grid representing the
8 cardinal directions (45 degree steps) is used, only a single brush
image is required, and Tux Paint will rotate it between 0 and 360 degrees,
depending on the direction the mouse is going.
The brush's ".dat" file should contain a line consisting of the word
"rotate".
Note: This adds a dependency on "SDL_gfx" library (Homepage:
https://www.ferzkopp.net/wordpress/2016/01/02/sdl_gfx-sdl2_gfx/
SourceForge project page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/sdlgfx/)
as this feature use it's "rotozoom" functionality.
WIP -- Doesn't handle animated brushes correctly yet!
Closes https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/feature-requests/122/
The Makefile variable "HOST" was introduced to cross-compile Tux Paint
for iOS. Unfortunately this variable is often set at the environment
variable level on many Linux distributions so it can cause the Makefile
to think it is attempting to be cross-compiled when that is not the
intention.
This change modifies the Makefile so it attempts to cross compile only
when both HOST and HOSTROOT environment variable (which are both
required for cross compilation) are set.
Luc Schrijvers reported on the Tux Paint Maintainers mailing list an
failure to build magic tools for Tux Paint 0.9.26 rc1 (see the mailing
list for the details). The issue appears to stem from an interesting
interaction between my commit from March
(39cc096ece) and the quotes around
beos_PLUGIN_LIBS on line 1361:
beos_PLUGIN_LIBS:="$(MAGIC_SDL_LIBS) $(MAGIC_ARCH_LINKS) $(MAGIC_SDL_CPPFLAGS)"
My commit had removed a leading argument from $(MAGIC_SDL_LIBS) (whose
value is irrelevant but it was "-L/usr/local/lib"), and the second
argument resolves to nothing on Haiku, so beos_PLUGIN_LIBS now resolves
to a string with a leading space, and it appears `cc` treats a string
argument with a leading space as a single token as opposed to a list of
arguments as it was apparently doing previously. Pere confirms removing
the second argument that resolves to nothing allows binary to compile.
I suppose removing the quotes around beos_PLUGIN_LIBS is another (and
cleaner) possible solution, but the quotes appear to be intentional and
without a Haiku build environment to test the exact behavior this will
be the safer commit to make.
Early resolution of iphone*_ARCH_LINKS calls pkg-config even when compiling for
non-ios platforms, slowing down compilation unnecessarily and possibly raise
errors about nonexisting libraries that are not used.
This change modifies the iphone*_ARCH_LINKS to resolve lazily upon use so
pkg-config is not called unless the variables are used.
Known Issues
------------
- No printing support.
- No typing support using the OS virtual keyboard. iOS needs to be signalled
to bring up the virtual keyboard when the text tool is active. We also may
need to do some finagling to make IM work with the virtual keyboard.
- OS language detection doesn't work yet.
- Quitting doesn't close the app. It just displays a black screen until it is
force-closed.
- Need to include cross-compilation instructions.
Possible Issues
---------------
- No text display. This is likely an issue with how pango and related
libraries were cross-compiled rather than an issue with Tux Paint code. From
the error output it appears to be a font rendering issue.
- SVG integration couldn't be tested because RSVG library has not yet be
cross-compiled successfully.
- Only tested under the iOS Simulator (and not on an actual iOS device yet.)
The 'Resources' directory is used in macOS development to test the binary
without building TuxPaint.app bundle, which is helpful for rapid application
development since creating the app bundle takes a long time.
It's been reported that the symlink in the Resources directory was causing the
'release' target to copy the files in the 'data' directory twice into the
source release tarball.
This change removes the static Resources directory but creates it dynamically
when the 'tuxpaint' target is built and removes it via 'clean' target so the
'release' target does not copy the files in the 'data' directory into the
source release tarball twice.
The `echo` command built into the default macOS shell doesn't understand -n.
This commit changes it to use "printf" instead which should be fairly portable
across other OS's. Feel free to change it back if it breaks anything.
When building Tux Paint, ImageMagick's `convert` might fail to generate
thumbnail PNGs for some Starter SVG images (e.g., "manatee.svg"),
with a "too many bezier coordinates" error.
This did not happen before, and does not happen with newer versions
of ImageMagick; there was a regression fixed in 2018:
https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/issues/1069
However, it's occurring in Ubuntu 20.04 'focal' (I've got
version "6.9.10-23 Q16 x86_64 20190101"). Therefore, as a quick-fix,
simply ignoring errors from `convert`, and removing the (bogus)
PNG thumbmail image, and allowing the `make` process to proceed.
Tux Paint will simply open the SVG and generate a thumbnail to
display on the screen when the "New" dialog is brought up.
Beginning addition of an option to export animated GIFs
from the Open -> Slideshow dialog, after choosing the images.
Non-operable at this time, but a button has been added (and will
provide a hint to select 2 or more images, when clicked).
Replaced KDE (older, KDE4, in fact) specific icon and
launcher (.desktop file) installation & uninstallaton
invocations in Makefile with those that use Freedesktop.org
`xdg-...` tools.
The thumbnails for starters & templates are NOT being re-generated
when the source images are modified -- only when the thumbnail is
missing. Needs an update to the target's prerequisites
(but I'm very rusty with this level of Makefile magic).
Also, update some Starter source images so they work better with
flood fill (Bald Eagle, World map, Gecko).
