Mon, 21 Mar 2011 03:25:35 +0100 http://mosra.cz/blog/article.php?a=16-porting-kompas-to-symbian-is-it-actually-possible Vladimír Vondruš If Kompas is described as "multiplatform", it must deserve this label. So I'm trying to port it to mobile devices, where it would be far more useful than just on the desktop. I don't have any of those MeeGo, Maemo, iOS or Android-powered devices where application development is a breeze. My smartphone runs Symbian and developing something bigger than prefabricated Hello World is a huge pain.

There is a database which really has to be versioned, external frameworks which are regularly updated and everything needs to be uploaded as quickly as possible to remote FTP server. I will explain in this multi-part guide how everything can be managed with Git without any fork-in-the-eye feeling. Tue, 09 Nov 2010 23:01:17 +0100 http://mosra.cz/blog/article.php?a=12-heytrack-1-0-alpha-2-released Vladimír Vondruš One week after first release there is second alpha version. New Amarok player, SomaFM server and Russian translation are the most significant changes.

Awesomely annoying. And this is why HeyTrack is here, it does the hard work entirely for you. Sun, 19 Sep 2010 20:11:55 +0100 http://mosra.cz/blog/article.php?a=10-side-effects-of-deploying-application-to-windows Vladimír Vondruš Yesterday I wanted to test HeyTrack (which will be hopefully released this weekend) on Windows to make sure there are no serious bugs which will put me in shame. But, in the end, the fact that HeyTrack runs on Windows is only a side effect. The result is many fixed bugs, but none of them was in HeyTrack.

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 14:12:38 +0100 http://mosra.cz/blog/article.php?a=8-running-code-outside-of-main-in-c Vladimír Vondruš While developing plugin system for Map2X reincarnation (more info about that soon), I found a way how to automatically run initialization code without need to call it explicitly in main().
