GLIB and wxWidget Class conflict

When compiling XaraLX, there is a conflict between GLIB-2.0 and  wxWidget 2.8 as shown below:

/usr/local/include/glib-2.0/gio/giotypes.h:127:47: error: conflicting declaration `typedef struct _GSocket GSocket'
/usr/include/wx-2.8/wx/unix/gsockunx.h:41:1: error: `class GSocket' has a previous declaration as `class GSocket'

The quick solution is to modify <XaraLX directory>/wxOil/ftfonts.cpp.  Edit this file and change from:

#ifdef __WXGTK20__
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
extern GtkWidget *wxGetRootWindow();
#endif

to:

#ifdef __WXGTK20__
//#include <gtk/gtk.h>
extern PangoContext *gtk_widget_get_pango_context    (GtkWidget   *widget);
extern GtkWidget *wxGetRootWindow();
#endif

3D Entertainment

While 3D televisions are more available in the stores, their price is still high and not many people are getting into it.  Perhaps because there is still few BD 3Dd movies.  But now 3D camcoders are going into the market.  We will see if this change how people buy LCD TVs.

Today, when I went to Costco, the 42" 120 Hz LED 3D TV is already below $2000.

Power consumption and Cost saving of Using Ooma (revised)

After awhile, I observed that this Ooma + router consume less power when the temperature is lower.  In the previous blog, I said the average power when its idling is 27 W @ 25 C, but in the early morning when temperature is lower (at about 20 C), the idling power is only 14 W and 17 W when the handset is off-hook.
