Recently I had been experimenting with FOX for the gui elements of the
soundcard/simulation/testing driver in GNU Bayonne 2 and I have been
quite happy with the results so far. Now that it is nessisary to do
another distribution of the CAPE installer for those coding GNU
Telephony work on w32 targets, I am thinking of including FOX along with
GNU Common C++, ccAudio 2, etc, in the CAPE installer so that fox
release and debug dll's are immediately available in the GNU Telephony
install/debug paths as well. This will become more important as new
versions of tools like baysight are introduced later this year.
For those doing GNU Telephony work on GNU/Linux, I have noticed FOX
packages are present in Debian (and Ubuntu), but these only seem to
package the 1.0.x releases. I would suggest downloading the current
(new) stable (1.4.x) releases, which is what I have been working with.
The fox toolkit also works reasonably well on OS/X under "X", though a
native port would be nice.
One of the reasons why I have been using fox as a cross-platform gui
rather than wx in my packages is that the library footprint tends to be
much smaller, response is closer to realtime which particularly makes it
viable for Bayonne server embedded gui work, and it seems to me easier
to code for. It's also a pure C++ coded toolkit which does not require
odd compiler "extensions" (like QT moc) and has a much simpler
resource-free model for adding things like icons. And of course its
always been available under the L-GPL on all it's supported platforms,
so I had used it early on rather than qt.
