A possible further clue?
When I run some of my apps that "work" under the gb.qt environment e.g.
cd ~/libman
export GB_GUI=gb.qt4
./libman.gambas
the app hangs when it executes an external command. So far I've found
examples where Shell and Desktop calls end up with the application
hanging.
Sufficiently clear? Well, for example, one app has a button to startup
the desktop file manager viz,
Public Sub btnBrowse_Click()
If $gbproj2 Then Desktop.Open($gbproj2.Path)
End
When I run this using gb.gtk it works properly, i.e. the file manager is
opened and the application keeps going. If I run it under gb.qt4, when
the button is clicked, a) the file manager doesn't open and b) the app
hangs.
Another example is one where I'm doing a lot of "Shell" commands to run
an autotools install. (I'll stick the relevant code below.) In this
case all the Shell commands execute but the application hangs again???
Public Sub mnuInstall_Click()
Dim wkitem As String
Dim workdir As String = "paddys-hill-workarea"
Dim unpack As String = "cd &1; pwd; tar -xvf &2"
Dim make As String = "cd &1;pwd;./configure;make"
Dim logger As String
wkitem = gvwInstalls.Current.Text
Print "\nInstalling " & wkitem
' 1) set up the necessary infrastructure
' All we need is a temporary build directory, into which
the archive is expanded
' Use the users home dir and a visible workingdir so we
don't have to worry about which
' "tmp" to use.
If Not Exist(User.Home &/ workdir) Then Mkdir User.Home &/
workdir
' 2) decompress the archive
Print "Decompressing - " & Subst(unpack, User.Home &/ workdir,
wkitem)
Shell Subst(unpack, User.Home &/ workdir, wkitem) To logger
Print logger
' 3) configure and make
Print "Compiling - " & Subst(make,
Replace(File.BaseName(wkitem), ".tar", ""))
Shell Subst(make, User.Home &/ workdir &/
Replace(File.BaseName(wkitem), ".tar", "")) To logger
Print logger
' 4) make install
Select Case Desktop.Type
Case "LXDE"
Print "Installing - " & Subst("gksu -D Installer 'cd &1;
pwd; make install'", User.Home &/ workdir &/
Replace(File.BaseName(wkitem), ".tar", ""))
Shell Subst("gksu -D Installer 'cd &1; pwd; make
install'", User.Home &/ workdir &/
Replace(File.BaseName(wkitem), ".tar", "")) To logger
Print logger
Case Else
Print Desktop.Type
End Select
Finally
Print "Cleanup - " & "rm -rf " & User.Home &/ workdir
If Exist(User.Home &/ workdir) Then Shell "rm -rf " &
User.Home &/ workdir
Print "\nDone"
Catch
Print Error.Text
End
What is even more weird is that this is the console log output from use
of the above code, it actually runs all the way through to the Print
"\nDone" line.
