Dirk,
Its done, wow, what a long road. Thank you so much for your almost
limitless patience.
A question:
The script currently builds what I would presume to be the latest
version of Subsurface-Mobile.
1) For the immediate I would like to build the full Subsurface desktop
on Android. I have never seen that animal yet myself. That is the
definitive step to see if Anton's FTDI interface runs on Android as
planned. According to him this should work transparently: connect dc,
follow the usual desktop download dialogue, download dives from dc. I
assumed that if the environmental variable
SUBSURFACE_DESKTOP=ON
is set, the desktop would be built, not the usual mobile app.
~/src$ printenv
XDG_VTNR=7
.... etc
SUBSURFACE_DESKTOP=ON
GTK_MODULES=gail:atk-bridge:unity-gtk-module
Do I need to do anything else to achieve this?
2) Once the above is confirmed, it remains to adapt the existing
dc-download code in Subsurface-Mobile to interact with this FTDI module.
Since that will entail QML there will probably be some pain in achieving
this. But I have already gotten some way along the QML, I should be able
to lick it in the end. Anton has given me some good pointers to follow.
Kind regards,
willem
