summer of code results

summer of code results

[Glenn Morris]

Looks like the summer of code is over.
I think there were a couple (?) of Emacs projects (besides Guile-Emacs).
Just like last year, I've heard nothing at all about them on this list.
So: what were the results?

Answering my own question (a bit), I see there was (?) an Xwidgets project
again.

https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/details/google/gsoc2014/nick7s/5724160613416960

I wonder if it is any closer to being merged to trunk.
I see a single non-merge-from-trunk change in the xwidgets branch this year.

I'm in the process of collating the patches atm.

I'm preparing a Docker image with the xwidget branch build environment
to enable people to try it out more easily.

The docker file and other things were moved to a new repo:

https://github.com/jave/xwidget-aux

I hope to prepare a better report when I verified that the images are
good enough for public consumption.

Menwhile, the Dockerfile looks like this:
-----------
FROM fedora:20

# install things we need to build the emacsxwidget branch
RUN yum -y install git

RUN yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"
RUN yum -y install gobject-introspection-devel webkitgtk3-devel libjpeg-turbo libXpm-devel libungif-devel libjpeg-devel libnsurses-devel texinfo libncurses-devel
RUN yum -y install libtiff-devel
RUN yum -y install ncurses-devel
RUN yum -y install  xorg-x11-apps #this is just for debugging
run yum -y install gdb

RUN git clone  --depth 1 -b xwidget git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs.git xwidget

RUN	cd xwidget && git checkout xwidget &&		export CFLAGS=" -g" && ./autogen.sh &&  	./configure --with-xwidgets --with-x-toolkit=gtk3 && 	make -j4
------------

And you could try it with this unsecure xforward hack:
xhost +
docker run -it -v /tmp/.X11-unix/X76:/tmp/.X11-unix/X76 --env DISPLAY=:76 d18554142086  /xwidget/src/emacs

of course using your own display numbers and docker image hash.
