I am making a new simple stocks app

tclaus · July 31, 2023, 6:41am

Something new is coming. I am making a new simple stocks application which will be like the apple stocks app.
Simple but useful for a quick overview.

Still in alpha.
I started C++ just this year, so some issues may be in the code.

A first screenshot:

Github Source: GitHub - tclaus/stocks: A simple stocks app for haiku. Mimics Stocks from macOS.
Package file now included.

Ballsy to show the MSFT stock in the screenshot…

To get the app into the repo, we’ll need a recipe, see the “Gentle introductions” at the haikuports wiki. Recipes for native applications are usually quite easy to write. See some of the apps under “haiku-apps” in the haikuports tree.

Congratulations, looks great.

BeAPI or something else?

tclaus · July 31, 2023, 8:19am

Uh - I just took a random photo - and got this. Sorry.

Packaging shouldn’t be too hard as it is using cmake for the build, getting build (linking) error on 64bit though

tclaus · July 31, 2023, 9:04am

I used cross-develop on Mac ( lion / ssh connection to a bare metal machine). As I said, I just started developing on c++.
Do you have an error message for me?

Np Always glad to see people writing code for Haiku applications

I’ll have a look after my regular working hours. BTW: Did I publish the GitHub -Repo link ?

Begasus · July 31, 2023, 9:56am

Nope, you didn’t, I’m pretty good in hunting sources

PS, sorry if I’m too bold here, will step down if you want me to.

lelldorin · July 31, 2023, 10:23am

you can upload you source on GitHub or if ou want to make your app closed source using our HPKGCreator from our Repository Site.

tclaus · July 31, 2023, 10:48am

The app has an API key included, which I don’t want to have be visible to the public. So the source can (and is) be open, but not the build package.

lelldorin · July 31, 2023, 12:42pm

Every haiku package can be opened with the expander, don’t know how to protect the content here so that you can’t do this. But would be interesting to know.

tclaus · July 31, 2023, 5:16pm

I have merged the PR.
Can you build it by running the build.sh script?

tclaus · July 31, 2023, 5:32pm

There is a .receipe file that should build a package that I can publish on GitHub / HaikuDepot, but it won’t install. On “install stocks” HaikDeopt app tells me: “package… is not installable”

Any suggestions?

architecture should be either x86_gcc2 or x86_64. Using x86 means 32 bit but Haiku itself was built with gcc4+ as the primary compiler. This hasn’t been supported for a long time. There is some info on the package building page.

humdinger · July 31, 2023, 5:53pm

If the app is compiled with a modern gcc (“setarch x86”) on 32bit Haiku, the name should be (always lower-case):

name stocks_x86

ETA: same goes for the “provides” section.

BTW, this is not a “recipe” to be used with haikuporter, but the .PackageInfo used by manually creating the HPKG with the “package” command.

tclaus · July 31, 2023, 6:24pm

The package building page lists under “architecture”:

any: Any architecture (e.g. a documentation package).
x86: Haiku x86, built with gcc 4.
x86_gcc2: Haiku x86, built with gcc 2.

That’s not “x86_64”.
So; what should I use to address modern, 64 Bit systems with a recent compiler?

nephele · July 31, 2023, 6:27pm

x86_gcc2 is almost always wrong. This is only for haiku internal packages build with gcc2. x86 is the secondary arch, yes. But it is the correct arch for almost all packages.

Begasus · July 31, 2023, 7:30pm

Added some suggestions upstream, was able to build/package/install on 64bit (app crashes though on launch (probably expected as it’s missing the API key as mentioned earlier). Hope it helps out a bit.

PulkoMandy · July 31, 2023, 8:26pm

The name must be in all lowercase here, otherwise pkgman will be confused.
