I cant stand dcgui anymore! has there been progress to other dc++ clients?

Which dcgui are you using?

dcgui-qt was renamed valknut, and I I've always liked that one. I think they fixed the transfer speed issue as well. Dc-gui has always seemed to be a bit ugly by comparison. If you want console access then you can't go wrong with dctc and ldcc.

i am "using" valknut but its not quite usable at all. It eats cpu, the search results are less than the ones provided by dc++ (dont ask me why).And the gui is the worst ive ever used.The window settings are not stored the tabbar isnt very functional .I have close the download in order to remove the relevant source, it drives me mad.But the worst is that the coder of this must be dumb or sth.Despite all the complains about the tabbar etc he continues not to modify it.Maybe a text-based client would be more usable than this.If dc++ was fully usable under wine id use it any time

I tried dc_qt 0.1.1 and the version number says it all--it's not really that usable. I couldn't even get basic searches to work. So I'd say don't even bother checking that out until they've made some substantial progress!

Just to point out:
DC is the protocol. dc++ is the open source windows-based client.

dc++ is fully usable under wine for me. it redraws the lists a little slow, but that's about it

How did you get dc++ to work under wine?
What dll-files have you added, and would mind you posting your wine-config?

Keep watching giFT for DC support. I wish I had enough time to work on that, but school comes first.

DC++ also runs here perfectly under Wine (20040716). This is for the config:

Code: Select all

[AppDefaults\\DCPlusPlus.exe\\dlloverrides]                                                                                                                  
"*" = "builtin,native"
"comctl32" = "native"
"commctrl" = "native"
"comdlg32" = "native"
"riched20" = "native"

And I have these DLLs:

Code: Select all

-rw-r--r--  1 bali users 569616 Aug 11  2002 comctl32.dll
-rw-r--r--  1 bali users 276992 Aug  4 00:56 comdlg32.dll
-rw-r--r--  1 bali users 154944 Aug 24  1996 commctrl.dll
-rw-r--r--  1 bali users 431616 Aug  4 00:56 riched20.dll

I however do remember having problems with other versions of these files. commdlg32 and riched20 are from an XP Pro SP2, the other two from here and here.

Indirect Disconnect 0.0.0

It's a DC++ port, still in development.

psofa · Post by **psofa** » Wed Oct 06, 2004 12:40 pm

Could not load 'KEYBOARD.DLL' required by 'COMMCTRL', error=2

psofa · Post by **psofa** » Wed Oct 06, 2004 1:31 pm

tried indirect disconnect , i get:
checking for sigcx-0.6-gtk+ >= 0.6.4... Package sigcx-0.6-gtk+ was not found in the pkg-config search path.

any ideas?

Deranger · Post by **Deranger** » Wed Oct 06, 2004 1:38 pm

I got some different errors yesterday when I tried to compile it

I'll try to compile it later tonight. Now going to have some sleep, I'm very tired...

By the way, drop a message if somebody has successfully compiled that

I'm running Debian, but I had these packages installed when I built ID:
libsigcx-0.6-2
libsigcx-0.6-dev

Code: Select all

checking for gtkmm-2.0 >= 2.2.11... Package gtkmm-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtkmm-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtkmm-2.0' found

configure: error: Library requirements (gtkmm-2.0 >= 2.2.11) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

psofa, those are included in GTKmm AFAIK...

psofa · Post by **psofa** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 12:36 pm

gtkmm is allready installed

lunne82 · Post by **lunne82** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 12:44 pm

I think you should try version 2.2 of gtkmm instead of 2.4. I used 2.2.12

Deranger · Post by **Deranger** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 12:49 pm

Compiling 2.2.11 at the moment...

EDIT:

Code: Select all

Same error that psofa got earlier

Get libsigcx here:
