Few of you may know that I’m interested in astrology. About two months ago
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have decided to create an astrologers’ software for the GNOME desktop.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since then, I have contacted Jean-André Santoni, who created a software
|
|
|
|
|
|
called [Astrognome](https://code.google.com/p/astrognome/) some years ago.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We exchanged some e-mails, and after several weeks of coding, I’m proud to
|
|
|
|
|
|
present [SWE-GLib](https://github.com/gergelypolonkai/swe-glib) 1.0.1. This
|
|
|
|
|
|
is “just” a library which wraps around [Swiss
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ephemeris](http://www.astro.com/swisseph/), creating a nice GLib-ish
|
|
|
|
|
|
interface around it. See the project page and the built-in GTK-Doc document
|
|
|
|
|
|
for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The astrologer’s software I’m writing will be
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Astrognome](https://github.com/gergelypolonkai/astrognome) (thanks for
|
|
|
|
|
|
Jean-André for letting me use the name). It is currently in pre-alpha
|
|
|
|
|
|
status, but already utilizes SWE-GLib (it just can’t display the results
|
|
|
|
|
|
yet). If you happen to be interested in astrology and/or Astrognome, fork
|
|
|
|
|
|
the repository and contribute! You can also contact me (or open an
|
|
|
|
|
|
enhancement issue on GitHub) if you have any ideas.
