What are your future plans for DWT? Are you still interested in
investing into it or are you yielding to gtkd/qtd/etc..?
I'm currently not working on DWT. When I will do that again it will be
on the OS X port. I'm still trying to keep it up to date with the latest
version of DMD, reviewing pull requests and helping out here.
I really like the library and was able to pick it up very quickly. If
you're interested in putting more into it, what can I do to help? Can
you gude me through the changes necessarry to port it to 64-bit?
Absolutely. First, there are someone else that is already working on a
64bit port, if I understand it correctly [1]. Perhaps you could collaborate.
As for the guidance. I think it's easiest to just try and compile it for
64bit and see what errors you get. Then I can help with more specific
problems that you encounter.
Start by removing the "-m32" flags in build.d [2], which forces it to
compile for 32bit. Then I would guess most errors will be for types
declared as "int" when they should be declared as "size_t" or "ptrdiff_t".
I have no idea how the GTK and Gnome interfaces work, if they are
different on 64bit. I didn't write the original code for DWT.
