Hi :) I will outline what I have done this week and want I want to do the next time. It happened not much, though, but you will see :o) As I want to improve evolution, I thought it would be great, having a nice IDE for developing. My mentor told me about anjuta and I tried to compile it, since there is just a version 1 build in the ubuntu repositories. I first tried to compile it myself, but it was not easy to find the dependencies (and finally get them installed). My mentor, who is Sven Herzberg btw, told me about jhbuild. A tool for easily building Gnome software without bricking your system. Thanks for that tip, Sven :) Jhbuild was up and running quite soon, but after a few packages it failed because of a strange error message I don't remember anymore. I googled, pulled off my hair and didn't get it running. But the solution was rather simple: I just had to look through the jhbuild site on live.gnome.org, but for some reason I didn't. After Sven pointed out that RTFM sometimes really helps ;-) I nearly built Anjuta. But mozilla did not want to be build :-| After desperately applying all patches I found, I just abort building mozilla. Mozilla is needed for building Devhelp, but not for Anjuta, so I finally could build that anyway *yay* It cost me a whole day building Anjuta :-| So this week I played around with jhbuild, anjuta and evolution. I created a dedicated email-account and sent dozens of emails. I will study evolutions behaviour dealing with threads in near future. But as I am away from wednesday until sunday, I might not be able to work on SoC next week. I don't have any open questions right now. But I will have several, C-related, questions as soon as I start coding, since my C skills are rather rusty. But I will bug my mentor with the stupiest questions ;-) Regards Tobias Mueller
