@Chris: 0.6.5 will use icon themes which are compatible to the freedesktop standard. Tango is not yet as complete as needed for qooxdoo. Maybe we will add this theme in the future.

What version have you used as you get this error?

@RK: This is because using the build qx.js was deprecated some time. You find a comparable solution using the sample.js in application/sample/build/

The build version is only a showcase to download. Something comparable to http://demo.qooxdoo.org. But this is not meant to really develop applications with. The SDK version is to develop application as the name suggest it already.

We definitely want to help new users to get ready for a simple application. Normally this is quite simple. Maybe you wanne ask your questions to our mailinglist (http://qooxdoo.org/community/mailing_lists). This is the better method than using the blog comments :).

UPDATE: It seems a large part of the confusion for me (and a couple of other posts i read here) stems from the fact that 0.6.4 build does not seem to have a frameworks folder, or any qx.js file (which I searched on to include). 0.6.3 build however seems fine. I used 0.6.3 build and looking at just one example was able to make simple apps.

Would it be possible to have simple examples of making apps from the build version. From what I understand to use existing classes, we do not require the SDK version (which is great for javascript coders who want to focus on simply making applications and not delving into the complications of system administration). However, I am somewhat confused as to how to even construct a simple app from the build version.

I tried to follow the skeleton example from the SDK but had errors building the source, probably due to my own ignorance (never touched linux). It would be great if high end users are given something to work from using the build version itself.

Thanks!

Had trouble using skeleton as well.

Fixed the problem.

Also you all should look at the Tango project for Icons.

Great stuff.

Make sure you follow instructions exactly in installing cygwin as well as the associated packages if you get an error that says cannot locate cache files make sure the cygwin python is installed. I want to used qooxdoo with a django backend I like the demo and just about getting started with qooxdoo.

I’m also sorry, found my solution here: http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/user_manual/skeleton#configuring_a_skeleton

Note for Windows users: relative paths are generally preferable because cygwin root paths are not supported by windows. Generally in cygwin the drives are mapped to cygdrive e.g. /cygdrive/c/foo/bar. This should work, but only for the build version.

Relative paths are correctly handled by both, Windows and Cygwin. So an example of the setting in the Skeleton’s Makefile would be QOOXDOO = ../qooxdoo-0.6.1-sdk if both the qooxdoo folder and your Skeleton folder are located in the same place.

Greetings…

I’m sorry, the errors were my fault. I had both Cygwin and another Cygwin-like folder in my Path and it was not the right make.exe that I was using. I apologize again. John

Also tried the tutorial without success:

But I’d love to work with it…
