You may want to check out the new Graphical Pattern Editor and Composer (GPEC) that comes from KnitML itself. It was released right before Christmas. You don’t have to use the command line anymore: you simply click on tabs at the bottom of the editor and the various formats appear.

It’s still in its infancy, but the format you use to type in the patterns is reminiscent of a text pattern.

I’ve given packaging it up a whirl to help further my experience. I’ve put it in my ppa, let me know if it works!

I’ve put a patch at http://atchoo.org/temp/knitter.patch that fixes build problem. It builds, runs and opens patterns, but doesn’t seem to work with the included knitml examples – I’ve no idea whether they’re defective or not.

In case you’re unfamiliar with patches, do the following:

cd knitter-0.3.1
wget http://atchoo.org/temp/knitter.patch
patch -p0 < knitter.patch

Then you can compile as normal.

Hrm, apparently even though it requires wxGTK-2.8, the coder hasn’t managed to port it for wxGTK-2.8 properly. Eg the fact that he tries to compare wxString == (const char*) when that in fact is removed after wxGTK-2.6 and you now have to use wxString == (wxChar*).

Ohhh looks interesting. Let me know when there are any updates. I’d be willing to test packages as well.

You should file a bug requesting that this be packaged for Jaunty.

“sudo update-alternatives –config wx-config” should help.

@myrtti, Hm, my comment got eaten. I suggested installing libwxgtk2.8-dev or libwxbase2.8-dev

Hehee, mies mainitsi, että joku vilautti töissä kuvaa, jossa oli Fifi ja Fifin kaavio :) Että eikö näitä pääse karkuun edes töihin… Sääli, kun tuli vaihdettua puhelin juuri super-perus-ei-älymalliin, koska älyluurilla pystyi selaamaan kaavioita reissussa. Media on vastedes siis vanha kunnon paperi.
