i just made an update, those interested should update now that our sources are still in sync with the current cvs
it contains the new shiny xfont backend to display ttf fonts, but the font to use has still to be enabled manually, here's how:
edit: made another update, just get the latest svn version, be sure to upload every file especially in the skin and xbmc\linksbrowser folders, and the arial ttf font should be the default

any word on progress?
what about releasing a beta?
- los93sol - 2005-08-09
things are progressing very nicely with links. i'll post more about what's been done since my last post when i have more time. i can say that we have picked up a few new dev's, and ysbox has continued working with links core and has done an excellent job stabilizing the code. still a few things in progress, but look for more updates from this project soon.

ysbox made a few cool commits today. the links svn is now synced with xbmc cvs as of august 22, and has a cool new feature is testing phases. note that this new feature is only a draft at the moment, but it is very cool indeed, click the left thumbstick to find out what it is. also note we are aware this overides screenshots, it's the first commit of this new feature so tweaks are bound to happen and user feedback is always appreciated on these types of things. everyone keeping up to date with this give a big thanks to ysbox and the others who have jumped in to lend a hand with the project as well!

detailed instructions for compiling can now be found here: https://opensvn.csie.org/traccgi/links2xbmc
i am also going to post them here to try to eliminate some of the confusion...
this project is not officially supported by team xbmc. please do not submit bug reports to them or their forums. if you need to submit a bug report, feature suggestion, etc. please join our irc channel on efnet #xbmcmeetslinks alternatively you can post in the thread on the xbox-scene forums found here: http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=396230&st=0
how to compile
note: this guide is detailed, but assumes you already have the xdk and vs.net installed. those programs are required. i am going to assume that if you want to compile links with xbmc that you have already completed a successful compile of xbmc by itself. best to put your pants on one leg at a time.
getting the links svn
-download and install tortoisesvn from: http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/download.html
-create a new directory and name it: "links"
-right click that directory and select: "svn checkout"
-enter the following for the url of the repository: https://opensvn.csie.org/links2xbmc
-press "ok"
checking for changes
-now you need to visit: https://opensvn.csie.org/traccgi/links2xbmc
-click: "create new session (no login required)"
-click on the "timeline" tab at the top. you need to look through the list of changes for the last date it was "synced to cvs month/day". it will not always say that exactly, but it gives you a good idea what you are looking for. this is the date you need to grab xbmc cvs for.
getting the right xbmc cvs (with tortoisecvs)
-this is not a tutorial on how to compile step by step so i will not go through in explicit detail and explain this, but i will explain how to grab a specific cvs date with tortoisecvs.
-download and install tortoisecvs from: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tortoisecvs/tortoisecvs-1.8.18.exe
-create a new directory and name it: "xbmc"
-right click that directory and select: "cvs checkout"
-enter the following for the cvsroot field: ":pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/xbmc"
-enter the following for the module field: "xbmc"
-in the "revision" tab click "files at certain time" and pick up the sync date you found before
-press "ok"
placing the files properly and compiling
-create a new directory and name it: "xbmclinks:
-copy all of the files from your "xbmc" directory and paste them into your "xbmclinks" directory you just created.
-copy all of the files from your "links" directory and paste them into your "xbmclinks" directory. you will be notified that some files already exist, click "yes to all" to overwrite the existing files.
-go to "xbmclinks/xbmc/build.bat if you followed this tutorial exactly and read everything correctly your compile should go just fine.
-ftp the build to your xbox and enjoy!
hope this helps some people.

its too bad i cant compile a build............
couldnt somebody put a compiled build on "the usual places" (you know where im talking about), then rename it to the "linksboks version" so no one would get confused. also, they can change the splash screen to a disclaimer of sorts that explain the cause of the build (for testing purposes only......blah blah blah).
i wanna help the project out in anyway, but testing for bugs is the only help i could probably be.
- los93sol - 2005-08-31
do not ask for compiled builds!!! this has been stated over and over! :bomb:
- incognegro - 2005-09-03
ok.......sorry, i get it.......

anyone else getting errors when grabbing the svn?
im getting a message saying:
report request failed on '/links2xbmc/!svn/vcc/default'
report of '/links2xbmc/!svn/vcc/default': could not read response body: secure connection truncated (https://opensvn.csie.org)
basically it is grabbing everything i need except the default.xbe which is kind of important
i do like tortoisecvs better for grabbing xbmc than the one i was using before. keep up the great work guys, it is appreciated :kickass:
