[edit] GSoC 2008 - Week 2 report

[edit] This week

This past week and next week are my last two weeks of school, with classes and exams. To say the least, I have been overwhelmed with school work and reports, and I have not been able to find a single moment to work on the project. I guess I was a little bit over-optimistic of my ability to handle both responsibilities at once. I have no immediate work to hand in until next Thursday so I am counting on this week-end to make up for some of the lost time. Since doing well on my exams is my first priority, I hope you will excuse me for not providing much results in these two weeks. I have tried to keep Jean-Luc aware of the situation this week.

I was able to get my work compiled by devroo on another Mac OS X Intel machine. Thanks to Stéphane's remarks on Freestyle inner workings, Jean-Luc yesterday found out how to compile the program on a Mac OS X PPC machine. Using a bundle_loader option when linking the SWIG wrapper library resolves the problem. Jean-Luc will send me an updated SConscript for compilation and linking of the wrapper library in the next few days.

[edit] Next week

Unfortunately, next week is going to be worse as far as school work is concerned. I do not expect to get much work accomplished. I should have more time again starting from June 16. Sorry again for this delay.

[edit] Issues

I still need to focus on getting my work compiled accross platforms. I hope that Jean-Luc's patch will resolve the issue once and for all.

[edit] Schedule

Even though I was ahead of schedule last week, I feel like I am now running behind. I still have time this week-end to finish the first phase, but I am not sure that's the wisest thing to do as far as accomplishing my school work too. I'll let you all know this Sunday at the IRC meeting.
