Programming

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:

and this download link:

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.
