[Maxim Dubinin]

Hi all,

a little announcement, we've made a new version of our plugin. It
gives QGIS several tools for interacting with Google Earth. You can
quickly send a feature or the whole layer to GE keeping current layer
symbology or override it with your own one. Unique values and single
symbol legends are supported.

More info: http://gis-lab.info/qa/qgis2google-eng.html

It is tested and working under Windows/OSGeo4W/trunk and source code is available
for linux hackers.

Maxim

PS: I've recorded a video to have a look how it works, but it turned out
to be huge (100 mb) and I couldn't compress it to more reasonable size. You can still see
it, if this is not a problem for you.

Compliments for the plugin. I've just tried it. It works very well and I find it's really useful.
Thank you very much!

Hi Barend,
I forward your request to the list, as you probably have submitted it only to me.
Anyway I think you shouldn't have problems to compile it under your platforms, the usual way it's done for the other plugins, as the CmakeLists is provided in the svn.

Hi Giovanni,

Indeed, it's because this list has the original poster as its "from"
address, where most others I use have the list address itself as the
"from"...

I see that possibility, but I must warn against that, it's what I would call
a typical 'developers attitude'. It won't help to get a system such as QGIS,
that wants to fullfil its (in my opinion excellent) potential as an end-user
GIS, being used by "normal" people such as myself, that do not know (or
actually even want to know) how to compile from source, let alone from
SVN...

I absolutely agree with you! I'm a geologist/soil scientist (as you),
and I prefer to concentrate on my research rather then learning build
systems and compile environments... I just do/try by myself in cases I
can't wait for a developer to build something for me :)

Sure. End users shouldn't build anything.
Please note however that windows users have now an excellent opportunity:
installing qgis-dev from osgeo4w gives you the latest qgis from previous
day, precompiled.
All the best.

I guess we need policy written out for C++ plugins, how users are
going to get them under Linux, what devs should do to make user's life
easier, may be a compilation guide for users etc.

Hackfest topic?

As one of those 'normal' users, I agree with the posts about not wanting to compile and other developer type stuff.  But, I also think that is's important to commend the 'super-normal' developers that create these amazing tools for us normal users to be able to focus on our research.

Nice topic.
My two cents. We cannot ask a "power user" to release its tools
cross-platform as a requirement. This is a must for the official
development, but probably most of the power users work on a single
environment.
So we can kindly ask for the possibility to have a tool
cross-platform, but if the developer cannot accomplish it (at least
not immediatly) a clear "how-to" to compile by ourselves could fill
the time gaps between cross-platform releases.

I think it would help a lot to make make an effort to standardize the
compile/build process for Linux (it's already quite easy), Windows
(not so easy!!!), Mac (I don't know...) to put an end-user, if he
wants, to compile plugins (both C++ and python) by itself.
I've tried with Windows... but I've given up, lost between nmake,
MSVC, different libraries flavours, manglings between OsGeo4W
libraries and the system's ones... Jurgen knows what I'm talking about
:-(

Anyway, I'm on the research side of the story. I prefer to use then compile :)

With fewer words, it would be nice to have a "compile and build C++

Hi

The counter side to the 'FOSS developers expect users to be compiling
geeks' debate is that users always want things at no effort and now :-)

The process is inherently going to be technical and I think if people
are too overwhelmed by the technicalities of compiling their own
software, it is better to appeal for the plugin / patch etc. to be
included in the next official binary release and wait for that. For
those that like to delve into compiling themselves we have the CODING
document in the root of the source dir and on the wiki. I will probably
work a little to update the windows compilation guide (using MSVC)
during the hackfest (I don't have the bandwidth here to repeat the
process from scratch and check the documentation along the way).

Best regards

Tim

Could I make an appeal to you not to write code that is locked to a
single platform (e.g. COM). We take great pains to make GIS run on all
platforms and using proprietary technology such as COM undermines this
effort and perpetuates Microsofts monopoly....

Of course it also cuts your potential user base to just those using
windows when you could be making software that us millions of Linux QGIS
could enjoy too...

Tim: agreed fully. Too often we have requests from users, too rarely we
have help.
Please, users, note that there is a huge amount of work and brain behind
QGIS: consider helping the project, e.g. translating manuals and
interfaces, hiring a developer for bugfixing and new features, or donating
to the project.
All the best.

Tim, I think that it would we great to have updated and
specific-platform versions of "Writing C++ Plugins" [1] and possibly
"How to debug QGIS Plugins" [2].

The plugin system is a great workhorse of Qgis. But, many users prefer
to code with Python rather then C++ not only for it's easiness but
also because it's deployment don't cause as many headaches as C++ :)
We know that python is very good for certain things, but cannot be an
alternative to C++ (see ftools performances), so providing a clear and
straightforward coding/compiling/building framework for C++ plugins
could have a very good impact on Qgis enhancements and performances...

have a good day!

Hi all,

the plugin is really cool, what about placing it in trunk, so it will be
available for everyone out of the box?

cheers

I don't mind.

The plugin seems a little bit exotic for the core, but if that's what people
what than +1 from us.

I do not see it as very exotic - it certainly raises a lot of interest.
It would be good, however, to put in place a mechanism for an
user-installation of plugins (a common problem for several projects, the
only real solution I know is for R).
All the best.

 R plugins for Unix with compiled C/C++ code require the user to have
the ability to build from source, so to copy that behaviour will
require the same for Qgis.

 Is there anything in this plugin that fundamentally stops it being
re-written in Python?
