I've been using Eclipse more and more, and its been coming together nicely. So, I've been researching how to use Eclipse to assist in programming MythTV plugins. I came across this in my most recent search:
http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2007/07/11/develop-qt-applications-in-eclipse/
which lead to these details installation instructions:
http://trolltech.com/developer/downloads/qt/qteclipse-installmanual
and this download link:
http://trolltech.com/developer/downloads/qt/eclipse-integration-download
Look interesting, but I note warily that it only works for qt4, and MythTV is using qt3 - ugh, well maybe this will still work.
I found a couple of links - this one from April 2003 - "MythAlarm Requirements":
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/24235
Guess a list of requirements was all the person was able to do. Ahh well some good ideas in there anyway.
Also an entry in the mythtv.org trac about adding a clock to any menu: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/13574
Now thats not quite what I was looking to build but an interesting idea anyway.
My first attempt at putting the binClock code in didn't have any effect - not surprising from the quick code mashup I performed.
