Development

Overview

roarbar is designed to rely a lot on plug ins for functionality. So it's based on 3 components.

• roarbar
• roarbar_lib
• plug ins

roarbar

The main application.

roarbar_lib

Library which provides the shared functionality.

plug ins

Individual functionality divided into sub categories.

• User Interface Plug in
  • console output Pane
  • playlist
  • album art
  • database viewer
  • quicksearch
  • ...
• Sound Output Plug in
  • gstreamer output under linux
  • probably direct sound output for windows

Compiling

Here is a guide to compile the current source code.

Source Control Management

Currently roarbar is stored public in a Subversion Repository, but I actually use git to work on the roarbar source code. I may switch totally to git in the near future, because working with git is very productive.

Documentation
