| sebras | Robin_Watts: I take it that the commit offends you, but the interesting bit is actually why. care to elaborate? | 00:24.17 |
| | but 1:30am is a bit late, so I'll be back to read logs tomorrow. :) | 00:26.20 |
| Robin_Watts | "ooh, I can do everything with realloc" | 00:26.31 |
| tor8 | Robin_Watts: not "ooh, I can do everything with realloc", it's more "ooh, I only need to implement one callback instead of three?" | 09:49.03 |
| Robin_Watts | tor8: Seems like needless churn in our interface to me, for no real benefit. | 10:03.30 |
| tor8 | I was a bit surprised by how our api to set the allocator consisted of filling in a struct. | 10:18.54 |
| sebras | tor8: ugh, android lollipop can't run things windowed. :-/ | 13:59.39 |
| Robin_Watts | sebras: What device ? | 14:03.13 |
| sebras | Robin_Watts: nexus 10 tablet. | 14:03.23 |
| Robin_Watts | ooh, I have one of those. They are nice. | 14:03.39 |
| sebras | Robin_Watts: apparently there is a cyanogenmod ROM that might be useful, but I'll skip that until I need to. :) | 14:03.46 |
| Robin_Watts | No, it can't run windowed, but I don't think that should be an issue. | 14:03.52 |
| jogux | sebras: you mean side-by-side multitasking? yeah, you need a much newer OS. | 14:03.55 |
| sebras | jogux: well, samsungbased marshmallow would suffice, that's only one version later than the one this tablet is using. | 14:04.32 |
| Robin_Watts | http://www.techtimes.com/articles/94754/20151015/how-to-install-android-6-0-marshmallow-on-google-nexus-10.htm | 14:04.45 |
| jogux | a year newer :-) | 14:04.46 |
| sebras | jogux: or nougat if you want the google backed-version of it of course. | 14:04.49 |
| Robin_Watts | but for now, i really wouldn't bother. | 14:05.20 |
| sebras | Robin_Watts: the reason for wanting that is that you can easily emulate having a slimmer screen (like phones) | 14:10.52 |
| jogux | sebras: you could fire up one of the emulators presumably | 14:11.25 |

| | I'm new to android development and I am trying to cross compile GS to convert PDF to PCL locally. Has anyone managed to do this successfully? | 21:02.19 |
| | in case anyone is curious my goal is to be able to run something like this on an android device that has no internet / wifi and print the PCL file via bluetooth on a battery powered printer in villages in the Congo. | 21:07.12 |
| | http://pastebin.com/JaSrqyFF | 21:07.14 |
| | Thanks in advance if any responses come through, I'll be idling here for some time =), irc makes me feel like I am back in the counter-strike 1.5-1.6 days | 21:14.53 |
| | Thanks regardless, even if you took the time to read this. | 21:15.26 |
| Robin_Watts | serge111: Hi. | 23:40.21 |
| | Yes, you should be able to compile GS to convert PDF to PCL locally. | 23:40.42 |
| | Though you might want to consider using mupdf instead. | 23:41.12 |
| | mupdf can output to both black and white and colour PCL. | 23:41.40 |
| | GS is generally a bit larger/heavier than MuPDF. | 23:41.54 |
| | But it has better support for some things (and can do PS etc) | 23:42.08 |
| | i'm on UK time, other devs are on US time. Try back here tomorrow (in about 12 hours?) and I'll see what I can do to help. | 23:43.04 |
| | Forward 1 day (to 2016/12/23)>>> | |
