View source for SoC 2007 Project Mac OS X Framework

{{SoCProject|year=2007|student=[[User:Pdherbemont|Pierre d'Herbemont]]|mentor=[[User:Fkuehne|Felix Paul Kühne]]}}

=== Introduction ===

I ([[User:Pdherbemont|Pierre d'Herbemont]]) will use this wiki page to detail the work I'll do for the GSoC 2007. My mentor for this project is [[User:Fkuehne|Felix Kühne]].

=== Project Objectives ===

More information in [http://pdherbemont.free.fr/gsoc/vlc_framework.html my original Proposal].

=== Status Summary ===

The simple test app that links to VLC.framework is able to play a given video just fine. Lots of work still needed in the playlist management area and in event handling though.

=== Timeline ===

| My proposition has been accepted || N/A || {{yes}} 12/04/2007
|-
| Work on setting up a git server to publish my work.
 See [[Git]] (thanks to [[User:Dionoea|Dionoea]]). More could be done to set up something better but that's enough for me for now ;)
 || 15/04/2007 || {{yes}} 13/04/2007
|-
| Implement the stub framework and the sample code that links to it.
 See the commit on [http://git.videolan.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=vlc-soc.git;a=commit;h=164ffd0787906e6b6ef1be731a450d0296fde9e9 commit 1], [http://git.videolan.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=vlc-soc.git;a=commit;h=72e8aa87d1f2b5249e00d596ae015b049da6108d commit 2].

|-
| First draft of the headers, plus partial implementation. Events, playlist, vout basic usage demo in the sample code. || 29/04/2007 || {{no}}
|-
| Auto evalutation, keeping in mind [http://pdherbemont.free.fr/gsoc/vlc_framework.html my original Proposal]: Would current VLC be able to work with the object defined? Is there any simplification possible? What changes to libvlc are needed?. || 29/04/2007 || -

=== Code repository ===
All the code I did for the GSoC is publicly stored on VideoLan's [http://git.videolan.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=vlc-soc.git;a=shortlog;h=pdherbemont_branch Git Repository for GSoC] on the '''pdherbemont_branch''' branch. To check it out:
 $ git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc-soc.git
 $ cd vlc-soc
Now get my branch in a new local osx_framework branch:
 $ git checkout -b osx_framework remotes/origin/pdherbemont_branch
And to keep sync-ed, tell git to use remote pdherbemont_branch for osx_framework.
 $ git config branch.osx_framework.merge refs/heads/pdherbemont_branch
And tell git the remote repository is named origin.
 $ git config branch.osx_framework.remote origin
Now a simple:
 $ git pull
Should be enough.

=== Building the framework and the test app ===
* Build VLC as usual. see [[OSXCompile| How to build VLC on Mac OS X]].
* Build the framework
 $ cd extra/MacOSX/Framework
 $ make
* Now open extra/MacOSX/Framework/Examples/test/test.xcodeproject with Xcode
* hit command-R

Voilà!
