Comments on: Project Ares Open Beta http://developer.palm.com/blog/2009/12/project-ares-open-beta/ News about developing webOS apps Sun, 15 Jul 2012 01:44:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: PalmLoyal1st (registered developer) http://developer.palm.com/blog/2009/12/project-ares-open-beta/comment-page-1/#comment-6069 PalmLoyal1st (registered developer) Wed, 23 Dec 2009 21:59:51 +0000 http://pdnblog.palm.com/?p=511#comment-6069 I am thrilled to see that such a tool will bring some very promising capabilities to the WebOS development community and disappointed that you will not be supporting the same version of Ubuntu (8.04/686 last I knew) that we are required to use in order to use the existing SDK. 8.04 does not officially support a recent enough version FireFox to use Ares. I have two questions: #1 Can we successfully run the SDK on a later version of Ubuntu that can use Ares? If so what version of Ubuntu do you recommend for that purpose? #2 Can we expect that Ares will be usable in Ubuntu 8.04 any time soon? desktop:~$ palm-emulator --version java version "1.6.0_17" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode) Version: 1.3 Build: 184-20091106194712 (hudson-webOS-Tools-Apollo-184) VirtualBox: 3.0.12r54655 desktop:~$ uname -a Linux desktop 2.6.24-26-generic #1 SMP Tue Dec 1 18:37:31 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux desktop:~$ cat /etc/issue Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS \n \l desktop:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 23 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8300 @ 2.83GHz stepping : 6 cpu MHz : 2826.379 cache size : 6144 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 2 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts pni monitor ds_cpl vmx smx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr sse4_1 lahf_lm bogomips : 5652.75 clflush size : 64 processor : 1 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 23 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8300 @ 2.83GHz stepping : 6 cpu MHz : 2826.379 cache size : 6144 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 1 cpu cores : 2 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts pni monitor ds_cpl vmx smx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr sse4_1 lahf_lm bogomips : 5652.87 clflush size : 64 I am thrilled to see that such a tool will bring some very promising capabilities to the WebOS development community and disappointed that you will not be supporting the same version of Ubuntu (8.04/686 last I knew) that we are required to use in order to use the existing SDK. 8.04 does not officially support a recent enough version FireFox to use Ares.

I give a try and test it uploading my webOS app but it seems that i must recreate all scene in order to have for each of them a chrome.js file. Is there a way to avoid this hard work ?
