jSuneido Goes Live

[amckinlay]

Almost three years after starting the project, the Java version of Suneido is now live in production.

Congratulations!!! You’ve reached another milestone, but don’t throw your shoulder out patting yourself on the back because, it’s just that, another milestone on an endless road 😉 Long after you have gone to your final reward, you’ll be saying “but just one more little enhancement… little bug fix… little change”. I’m convinced in that place, we will have a desk and that if we were good in life a super computer, otherwise it’s back to 8086 processors and 5 1/4 inch floppies. Don’t deprive yourself of well earned rewards waiting for something to be “finished” because “finished” never happens and you deserve the rewards. Just some life observations from an old code-horse.

So, Congratulations again! By the way, is it available publicly?

[amckinlay]

Thanks 🙂

The jSuneido source code is available from the Mercurial repository on SourceForge.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/suneido/develop

I will include a pre-built jar file in the next download.

It’s great! Now, if only we could have a working client in Linux we could get rid of Windows… Why Suneido doesn’t work with Wine? It’s the garbage collector that generates problems? If at least the “Client/GUI interface” worked in Linux/Wine we could use jSuneido as server and Wine/Suneido as client…

Dear gmauro, amckinlay

There is a working version of Suneido (C++) under Linux (Wine) as well as Mac (CrossOver).
Both, the server as well as the client portion works.

You may download it at:
http://www.datavision-gmbh.ch/downloads/Suneido_DVcore.zip (source code)
http://www.datavision-gmbh.ch/downloads/DVcore_Empty.zip (precompiled binary)

Because I don’t want to manage my own source tree for Suneido, I sent an Email to contributions@suneido.com,
about two months ago, but never got an answer 🙁

So, if you are still interested, feel free to download …

Hi, I have tried your Suneido on Ubuntu Linux with Wine 1.3.21 (latest development version) but it doesn’t work very well and it’s not much usable (and I don’t know why but it’s very slow).

Anyway, what have you done to Suneido sources to make it work (a little, at least) with Wine? I noticed that there is a new library… It is necessary to make Suneido work with Wine?

[msaurer]

Hi,

What exactly doesn’t work, and why do you think it’s not much usable?
Any windows program I tested under wine is slower than in a native Windows environment.

My suneido based application is a small ERP system containing office-group-ware, document-,
product, project-management, as well as an accounting system with double entry booking,
salary bookings and so on.
It’s really slower than on Windows, but it’s still usable.

What I have done to make suneido work under wine?
Nothing, so far 😉
It was never my intention to run suneido under wine, but after building a proper VS2005 solution,
to add/debug my extensions, surprisingly suneido worked under wine.
I assume it has something to do with some compiler switches, but I hadn’t figured out it at this time.

The suneido library I use is the one from 2007.

So, if you can tell me what’s missing, or what is not working, I can try to find a workaround
or fix for that.

Please let me know.

Cheers

Martin

If I run with Wine your “dvcore.exe”, then if I write in the workspace something very simple, like:

Window(#(Horz (Static “Hello”)))

and then I press F9 to execute this line of code, nothing happens… The workspace flashes for an instant, then… nothing!

[msaurer]

Hmmm….
that’s interesting, I never tried, but now I can reproduce the problem.

The GUI of my application contains about 2000 objects, and each of them is
displayed correctly.

The application was developed under Windows and then just copied over to linux/wine,
fire it up, and everything seems to work.

If my time permits, I will see, what I can do.

Martin:

My apologies for not responding to your email to contributions@suneido.com

I never received the email 🙁 The forwarding appears to be broken – I just sent a test message to that address and it did not come to me either.

Can you please resend your email to mckinlay suneido.com (I just tested and that address does appear to be working)

I am interested in what settings you are using to compile with VS2005 to make it work better with Wine

That’s great that you were able to get Suneido working on Wine – thanks for your efforts on this.

[msaurer]

Andrew,

Just to confirm.
I resent my email to the address you noted in your post from 25.06.2011.

So, I hope you will receive it now 😉

[amckinlay]

Yes, I received it this time, thanks.
