gtk-server quick test

Hello,

I guess I need to create blog, this is typical material for
it 

After the discussion about language bindings here in the
list I finally 
tried gtk-server. It compiles fine in scratchbox but needs
ffcall 
(available in debian).

Good news is that it runs fine (at least on os2007on770) and
startup 
speed is quite good even on n770. Both the simple demo with
one button 
and a bit more complex calculator example using glade starts
in approx. 
1 second 

This is perfectly usable for small shell hacks that don't
need full 
python and pygtk. In fact it can be used in python without
pygtk too. 
Startup speed is worse then from shell but still better than
with pygtk.

Here is quick hack including compiled libffcall deb an few
examples.

Binaries were build in bora taget so probably you need
device with 
IT2007 too. For quick test extract it, install the deb and
go to 
gtk-server directory at try to run the demo and calculator
scripts. Demo 
in python obviously needs python 

Yo can also install menu shortcut for demo calculator via 
./install_shortcut.sh (sudo gainroot needed) and try it from
menu. 
Startup speed is similar/same to default calculator tool.

Unless there is some major problem with gtk-server (like
inability to 
use methods with pointers) this looks pretty usable and
worth packaging.

Yey!

I was thinking on this port few time ago. I find it very
useful, so it
can be used together with menush:

  http://news.nop
code.org/menush.tar.gz

menush is a bunch of shellscripts and a minimal terminal
handler for
creating menu entries and program launchers from command
line for the
n770/n800 (use the arrow keys).

Have fun.
