I'm porting my app from HoloToolkit 2017.4.3 to Mixed Reality ToolKit v2 (RC1 - refresh). My current app has a UAudioManager component on one of the elements in my scene. I can't seem to find the functional equivalent in MRTKv2. Is there one?
There is currently no equivalent to UAudioManager in MRTKv2, however there is a branch feature/mrtk_audiomanager2 that joekellyms was working on.
I believe that you could copy the UAudioManager code from feature/mrtk_audiomanager2 branch, or just directly copy the code for UAudioManager from HoloToolkit into your project.

I want to know how to choose the versions of the dependencies used by azure-iot-sdk-c.
for example, I plan to use:
azure-iot-sdk-c from github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdk-c.git, release_2018_02_09_after_bump_version(3deb0ca3a8e2d220a50175bef71d16d1650a3a79),
then how do I know the right submodule/library versions for it? for example, the sub-modules in https://github.com/Azure/azure-uamqp-c/releases, github.com/Azure/azure-umqtt-c.git ...?
Thanks in advance.
Software and library is managed using the version. And libraries should be designed backwards-compatible when the MAJOR version is same.
A common way to find the suitable version for GitHub project's sub-modules is looking the release date of that project. For example of Azure-iot-sdk-c_release_2018_02_09, the version sub-module of azure-uamqp-c is 1.x.x published before 09/02/2018, so we can use any version of 1.x.x azure-uamqp-c. And of cause, the recommend version should be the latest version of that major version(1.2.3) at present.
More detail about concept of version and sub-modules, you can refer the links below:

If anyone else lands here after searching the error message of 3deb0ca3a8e2d220a50175bef71d16d1650a3a79;
I found this (https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdk-c/blob/main/doc/master_to_main_rename.md) which refers to azure iot branchn renaming from master -> main on Dec 1st -21, which may explain the trouble finding the reference.
By updating my *.bb file which refers to the github with:
git#linktoyourgit.com ;main
This will reference the specific branch main to find the correct revision.
I've inherited a legacy .Net 3.5 VB app to support from a client and they'd like to make some small data changes. Before we begin I think it's important to note that I am running Windows 7 64 bit, and VS 2013 Ultimate R2.
While making my first changes to the project, I noticed their datasets use a custom tool AGDataSetGenerator (written by Shawn Wildermuth in 2004). I did a lot of poking around on how to register custom tools. I went over to http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/8582/Inherit-from-ADO-NET-DataSet-to-create-your-own-bu and got the source code of the tool, inside the project there are a couple of utility files that you need to run in order to register the tool. Remember this was made in 2004 so things were a little different back then.
I modified the Reg.cmd file to point to v2.0.50727 since my project is running .Net 3.5 and .Net 3.0 and 3.5 are both just minor updates from .Net 2.0 and not completely new .net versions. Also I noticed that there is both a Framework and a Framework64 folder with the C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net folder, so I added both locations to my .cmd file in hopes to cover all of my bases. Code Below
Reg.cmd - Original
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\regasm /codebase /verbose F:\AGDataSetGenerator.dll`
Reg.cmd - My Modified Version
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\regasm /codebase /verbose F:\AGDataSetGenerator.dll
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\regasm /codebase /verbose F:\AGDataSetGenerator.dll
Then it was on to the.reg file.
Upon opening the file my first thought was, cool, I can just switch the version from 7.1 to 12.0 and away we go. Not the case. After quite a bit of googling I found the first line registers the tool for VB.Net, and the second registry entry registers the tool for C#, so for me I only need the first line, also VS now a days registers to a new location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\ for 64 bit specific registers. So in hopes to cover my bases once again, I tried including both 32 bit and 64 bit locations. I even threw in a more global register for both 32 and 64 bit that in hopes that would point visual studio to the generator entry, unfortunately I'm a bit out of my wheelhouse here so I was pretty much grabbing at straws.

Regardless of everything I've tried. When I right-click a dataset and try to run custom tool. BAM! I get the following:
If anyone can get this working in similar settings to my own, I'd love to know how you did it.
I'm very much the type of person that find's it very hard to take NO for an answer when it comes to technology. Unfortunately the answer here is simply just "No". The custom tool is very much outdated and to get it to work in VS 2013 just isn't feasible (I still can't bring myself to say impossible).
I'm writing this answer because I have a workaround that I suggest anyone in the same situation use straight out of the gate instead of trying to get that old tool to work. As a workaround, I created a new data project in .Net 3.5 and used entity framework to bring in just the models I needed to update. I generated my models from database and then went to the .aspx code behinds and replaced references to the outdated generated datasets. It took some refactoring but using EF instead of those ancient generated datasets cut the code by about 40%. Win Win in my opinion. Hope this helps someone else in the future.
According to the old .reg reference to VS 7.1, that means it was built to work in VS 2003. I know that VS plugin coding changed a lot in VS 2010 and later editions. So, it is possible this plugin may only work in VS 2003... possibly all the way up to VS 2008. But, it may need to be re-written to work in anything later.
Hopefully you have MSDN or know someone who does. I would spin up a VM, install VS 2003 (or you could try up to VS 2008), and install this plugin using the original .reg/.cmd.
I am trying to develop a simple project in Pharo, and I would like to add its dependencies in Metacello. My project depends on Glamour, Roassal and XMLSupport.
A way to cleanly install my project is to install the dependencies by hand first. Following the book Deep into Pharo one can do
Gofer new
smalltalkhubUser: 'Moose' project: 'Glamour';
package: 'ConfigurationOfGlamour';
load.
(Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfGlamour) perform: #loadDefault.
Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'ObjectProfile'
project: 'Roassal';
package: 'ConfigurationOfRoassal';
load.
(Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfRoassal) load.
Gofer new
squeaksource: 'XMLSupport';
package: 'ConfigurationOfXMLSupport';
load.
(Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfXMLSupport) perform: #loadDefault.
and then my project will work fine.
I have tried to create a ConfigurationOfMyProject using the Versionner, and I have added Glamour, Roassal and XMLSupport as dependencies, using the version that are currently installed in my image (2.6-snapshot, 1.430 and 1.2.1 respectively).
The problem is that I am not able to load my project using Metacello in a fresh image. The project loads fine, but whenever I try to load my classes I get method missing errors in Glamour. Moreover, it is apparent that something is different, because even the world menu has different entries.
I have tried other combinations of versions, including using the stable Glamour (2.1) but I have obtained more errors, including not even being able to open the project in the Versioner (it complains about a missing Roassal name).
What is the correct way to add these dependencies cleanly?
First of all I want to highlight that if configuration is in class ConfigurationOf<proj-name> you can load it as using #configuration message:
Gofer new
smalltalkhubUser: 'Moose' project: 'Glamour';
configuration;
load.
(Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfGlamour) perform: #loadDefault.
A I don't see your project, I can just suggest you to write configuration by hand. There is an easy tutorial called Dead simple intro to Metacello.
According to your description it should be something like:
baseline01: spec
<version: '0.1'>
spec for: #common do: [
spec blessing: #release.
spec repository: 'your repo url'.
spec
package: 'YourPackage' with: [
spec requires: #('Glamour' 'Roassal' 'XMLSupport') ].
"also maybe you have a couple of packages that depend on different projects"
spec project: 'Glamour' with: [
spec
className: 'ConfigurationOf Glamour';
repository: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/Moose/Glamour/main';
version: #'2.6-snapshot' ].
spec project: 'Roassal' with: [
spec
className: 'ConfigurationOfRoassal';
repository: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/ObjectProfile/Roassal/main';
version: #'1.430' ].
"and same for XMLSupport" ].
Also you can try to load #development versions, as I have an impression that projects like Roassal and Glamour have very outdated stable versions. Also please note that Roassal2 is actively developed and will replace original Roassal in Moose platform, maybe you want to consider using it.
I would seriously discourage writing configs by hand - that is the assembly code of Metacello ;) Unless you are working on cross-Smalltalk-platform projects with platform-specific code (e.g. code for Pharo 1.4 vs Squeak 4.5) - an area which hasn't been explored yet, Versionner is the tool for you. I have written dozens of configs with it and have yet to run into a roadblock.
When you say you added them as dependencies, did you just add them as projects in the "Dependent projects" pane?
If so, you also have to specify which of your project's packages depend on them. To do this, you select the relevant package of your project on the "Packages" pane.
Now, click on the edit button with the pencil icon that just became enabled. In the dialog that appears, click the green + button and add the external projects of interest.
It looks like you are trying this in an old version of Pharo?
Roassal has been superseded by Roassal2, and the support for XML is on smalltalkhub, split into ConfigurationOfXMLWriter and ConfigurationOfXMLParser, both in PharoExtras.
If you load the right groups from Glamour you don't need to describe the dependencies on Roassal, as Glamour already depends on Roassal(2). That explains your cyclic dependency.
You have also run into the problem we've recently talk about on the pharo mailing lists
that #stable is not a usable symbolic version name. In the Seaside/Magritte/Grease projects we've changed to using #'release3.1' style symbolic version names. That ensures that there is less of a ripple effect when progressing stable.
Snapshot versions should never be a dependency, they just describe what is loaded at the moment, and are basically not upgradable.
[edit]
Metacello by default tries to be smart about not installing older versions over newer. This works pretty well as long as things are not moved to different packages. So it's a bit of bad luck there that you ended up with a non-working combination.
Metacello support complex workflows, and different smalltalk projects (need to) use different workflows. It often takes some time to reach consensus on the best way to do things.
Roassal does not depend on Glamour, but you can create the cycle in your own configuration :)
Packages were moved from squeaksource to ss3 and smalltalkhub because the server had had stability problems. More recently, those problems seem to have been fixed. The xml support was split as it was noted that a lot of applications actually don't need both writing and reading of xml.
Once you have a working configuration, it might be a good idea to build and test it on the continuous integration server of pharo: http://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution
If not your actually application, at least the open source parts as used by you. That way the Pharo, Glamour & Roassal teams can know if a change they make breaks something.
I'm trying to get the PCL Visualizer demo examples to work (all code here: http://pointclouds.org/documentation/tutorials/pcl_visualizer.php) for Windows, PCL 1.6, 32 bits version.
It works fine except for the Interaction Customization part, which is ironically the one i'm most interested on. An unhandled exception occurs at the spinOnce(100) line on the main method. From the long search I've done, it looks like it is deeply connected to VTK not being thread safe and keyboard/mouse callbacks interfering with the VTK window. However, I don't think I've completely understood this and could be mistaken. I have found a very similar question here in stackoverflow (using "pcl::visualization" in different threads from different instance of a class) and I tried using scoped_locks around the spinonce, as he suggests, but I think I'm not doing it right.
Has anyone managed to fully use this example on win32? For reference, here is my poor attempt at locking the spinonce:
while (!viewer->wasStopped ())
{
boost::mutex vis_mutex; //storage for static lock
boost::mutex::scoped_lock lock(vis_mutex);
viewer->spinOnce ();
boost::this_thread::sleep (boost::posix_time::microseconds (100000));
}
Thanks in advance!
I am afraid that it may be related to the version of PCL.
Tutorials are made to match latest versions of PCL and since 1.6 things might have changed.
I recommend you to update to the latest PCL from github. (actually I use code from this tutorial on win64 right out of the box, no issues)
I'm working on a side project that involves sorting Japanese and Thai strings. When I was testing the sorting in client-side Javascript, I was able to use a.localeCompare(b, "languageCode") which worked. When I tried this same logic in Node, it did not work, because the Node INTL object is restricted to English as the default.
I want to customize my node build as described in the above link, and came across the ICU4C-data Node Module, which I understand contains a full set of ICU data. I've been playing around with different build flags, like the one specified by the (sparse) README: --icu-data-dir=node_modules/icu4c-data, to no avail - no matter which flags I set I cannot get the INTL Collator's compare function to give the expected results. Is there an obvious flag that I'm missing, or key assumption I have wrong?
Here are a few things important notes/resources:
The end goal is Thai & Japanese collation - if there's another approach using Node to implement this, I'm open to suggestions.
Collation must be done in Node
I'm going to be relying on Array.prototype.sort() - mainly looking for a comparator
Using Node 0.12, with ECMA support
My first time customizing a Node build (~1 month experience)
Install the full-icu package instead. It will give instructions on how to load the rest of the data.
Also note that future node versions should not require any configuration to pick up the new data, you can see #3460 if interested.
I need to fix the icu4c-data's readme to reflect this.
