Agenda

  • Record all steps taken today to a post on the project-renard wiki.
    • That means that this EtherPad document will become a page on the wiki.

  • Choose a standard version of Perl 5 to work on. The code will not work on older versions. This is so that we can use modern features without worrying about backwards compatibility.

    Perl v5.20 is a good choice right now. It supports method signatures as a built-in feature.

  • Set up GTK+ 3 on Linux so that it can run the curie code.

    • This is related to issue "GTK+ Linux setup" project-renard/curie/issues/2 .

Tasks completed

  • curie: Install development packages for libgtk-3.0 https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/ on Debian GNU/Linux.

    • Install the dependencies on Debian by running: 
      cd curie
sudo xargs apt-get install \
  -y --no-install-recommends \
  < debian-packages

  • base: Make sure the version of Perl 5 you have is v5.20 or greater.

    • If you do not have that version of Perl 5, you can use perlbrew to set it up. Follow the instructions at http://perlbrew.pl/.

  • base: We will use cpanm to install the Perl modules that we need. It can be installed by running

    perlbrew install-cpanm

    or if you do not have perlbrew, following the instructions at https://github.com/miyagawa/cpanminus#installing-to-system-perl:

    cpan App::cpanminus

  • curie: Removed the Gtk3::Ex::PDFViewer code which was causing problems

    • PR project-renard/curie/pull/3 .

  • curie: Install the Perl CPAN packages needed for Gtk3.

    • This can be done more easily by creating a cpanfile which lists the requirements.
    • PR project-renard/curie/pull/4 .

    • Now that the cpanfile is available, you can install the dependencies by running

      cpanm --installdeps .

  • curie: Install and investigate the Glade UI designer.
