argh so closeยปSpent the evening recreationally pulling mono , gtk-sharp and dashboard out of cvs and manhandling them into compiling. Everything works, except for one goddamn line in dashboard, where it calls GTK.Html.BeginContent() – which the compiler confident tells me doesn’t exist. But I can see it, Computer! I can see it in the API XML spec!
time passes…
Well. I felt so defeated by writing that last blog entry, that I went off and had another go. My general approach in these situations is to randomly futz with the source until I can’t remember what it looked like pre-futz, then flamboyantly delete it all in frustration and despair. I got as far as futzing – I replaced BeginContent() with Begin(), which was the function above it in the API list – and it all magically worked.
There’s not much to see yet, unfortunately, because I don’t use any programs that have a dashboard frontend (that’s to say, that passively spit dashboard clues about what I’m currently looking at/typing). But it managed my blog entry about itself when I asked it outright. And that makes me strangely happy.
