Yes, I heard that the first time it was mentioned, but it's still on my wish list. I really miss Pauline yelling help like she does with the real SuperGB.

Thanks a bunch, I appreciate it.

No prob.

Okay:

I finally set up my dual boot with Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, and everything works fine. Just need to find a decent SVN client in the meantime, but commandline SVN works okay.

I managed to compile and run VBA-M Qt/Linux just fine. Are you sure you used "qmake" before using "make"? My Linux distribution has all the latest updates, Qt4 included.

Well, good to hear vba is being worked on more. It has never been in the same league as BGB as far as good GB emulation I think.

Though, I feel Sindre Aamas's emulator is better than BGB though

Plus the source code is a dream to read.

Anyways for the folks that are interested, I set up a new VBA-M forum:

Strange. I'm home for the week, so no linux computer to retest on. I have most certainly been qmaking before making, though. I am supposed to actually make the gui-less executable from source before I qmake and make the qt part, right? Hopefully that last part made sense. Otherwise... I'm not sure. Perhaps Ubuntu Gutsy has fallen behind in their qt4 repos. That seems unlikely though, do it must be something I'm doing.

I will most certainly try again when I get back to my computer at school. And again, thank you for setting up the dual boot to check that out (I'm sure you did it for more than just my sake, but it's of course still appreciated).

Just out of curiosity, what linux distro did you install?

Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, 7.10

No. The Qt-based GUI and CLI versions of VBA-M are entirely seperate. Thus, to compile the Qt4 GUI, you just use the Qt4 build system. Nothing else.

Hm. Okay, so we're using the same distro, so far so good. So what you're saying is that when I download from svn I don't have to use the makefile in the main folder, because that's separate from the qt4 version? So when I try this again, I'll just download SVN and go straight to the folder where I'm going to qmake and make.

If that's the case, perhaps my make-ing in the main folder is somehow messing up the compiling of the qt4 version. If that is not the case, then the only other explanation is that I'm missing some dependency.

I'll let you know! I should be back to my linux box sunday evening.

Yes, to make the Qt4 version, you go straight to the Qt project folder and run qmake.

I'll post my output in case it's different than last time, but it's definitely choking on something...

What can you make of this, if anything? It's acting like I missed a step, or that it's missing some file I don't have. I'm not seeing anything significant, but that might just be because there's so much output that I'm not catching something important. Is there anything you can suggest that I can try on my end, to either fix, or download?

Thanks again for your patience. I'm not sure why I'm the only person having this problem, but it must be something on my end if you're able to compile it fine in my OS.

So what are the chances of visualboy advance color edition features being worked into this, with a easier colorization technique?

...How did you install Qt4 on your system? Did you just use Synaptics to install? It seems a whole lot of core Qt files are missing....

So what are the chances of visualboy advance color edition features being worked into this, with a easier colorization technique?

I have to question the sanity of said feature

As I honestly don't see much point.

DancemasterGlenn · Post by **DancemasterGlenn** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 7:50 am

I essentially searched synaptic for "qt" and tried installing everything that came up regarding qt4... including, but not limited to:

libqt4-core
libqt4-debug
libqt4-dev
libqt4-gui
libqt4-qt3support

... and others (python and ruby bindings, for example). I must have the one file I need not installed, but I'm sure as hell not seeing it

would it be an extremely inconvenient waste of your time to tell me how you installed qt, and if through synaptic, what packages you used? If that's too much to ask I'll keep plugging away at this.

EDIT: One file I'm trying to install isn't working... "python-qt4-gl-dbg" gives me this error:

Code: Select all

python-qt4-gl-dbg:
 Depends: python-opengl-dbg  but it is not installable

Not sure how relevant it is or not. Python-opengl-dbg isn't in the repos.

All I did was install it though Synaptic.

I picked the following packages:

libqt4-core
libqt4-dev
libqt4-gui

and thats it. Nothing else.

Ignore it, we don't use Python code.

DancemasterGlenn · Post by **DancemasterGlenn** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 9:29 am

I have all three of those. Could some of the other packages I installed at random be somehow messing with these?

Yes.

The package "qt3-dev-tools" was installed, which seems to have given me a qt3 qmake. This is what was running when I typed qmake in. Uninstalling this package fixed the compilation. I apologize for the time wasting on your part, mudlord, but thank you for continuing to try and help out while the problem should have been more obvious to me. You rock.

For what it's worth, the gui looks great! I'm even more pumped now to see it completed. Keep up the great work, and thanks again.

No probs. Anytime.

I'm glad you like it. I still need to add some more things to the main options...Not sure yet....

If that was the case you were getting an error message about how the files were built with a newer Qt than you were using, and you ignored it.

Although this line here is a dead give away:

New public SVN build out for those that want it.

Main attractions are multithreaded pixel filtering in Windows, Spacy and I did some tweaks to the OGL renderer (now that black line fullscreen bug is squashed), plus others.
