Hi guys, OK, I think I moved and renamed everything as planned. So at this point, feel free to participate, add, remove, change as you like. If anyone has code that can act as a frontend to command line tools, and that can handle stdin, stdout, stderr, and signals simultaneously, please send code ;-). I need some kind of simple FLTK text terminal.
My plans are this: - introduce Styles from FLTK2: if used, styles reduce the memory footprint of every widget by many bytes. They also help to make an app look more consistent. Very nice. This will also require changes in Fluid. - introduce namespaces to Fluid. This is needed, since FLTK itself is in a namespace. Without Fluid handing those correctly, we can not derive new classes from existing widgets - IDE/Makefile generation for arbirary projects. This will get your new App started within a minute, ready to compile on any platform. Add e few test apps as templates to start from/ - Fluid direct build: this will be a new widget that can launch command line programs, receive text from stdout and stderr, and send text via stdin to those apps. Adding this to Fluid will extend the already somewhat working "Compile" and "Run" for projects in Fluid. So all in all, FLTK3 with Fluid3 will make writing new apps and tools a breeze. I hope that this feature will attract many developers who need to write different small apps while targeting multiple platforms. With portable .fl and .flw files, this would also be a very simple solution for teachers and students. - Matthias _______________________________________________ fltk-dev mailing list fltk-dev@easysw.com http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
