Hi! Something that we desperately need, IMHO, is a cross-platform GUI toolkit. Several people have mentioned this at various times and for plain application-delivery beyond POSIX functionality some sort of GUI will likely to make chicken more usable.
It should be easy, dumb, straightforward. Simple, traditional event-handling, a core set of easy-to-port widgets, a small and simple API. Backends to various existing gui toolkits (Gtk, Qt, FLTK, Win32(?)) should be supported using a greatest common divisor aproach. More funky abstractions can be built on top of that and eggs could provide more specialized widget sets, particular to a specific GUI backend. I have a good deal of Qt experience, a bit of FLTK and generally not enough resources to create this on my own (surprise!). I also am unable to do any windows-related coding. Would there be someone interested in taking this up or join me with such an undertaking? cheers, felix _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
