Hi, I was referer log surfing and came across these links:
www.fritzing.org and more specifically: www.fritzing.org/development/market-overview Here's what this group is apparently planning (wrt KiCad): tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/kicad-devel/message/482 In some of the threads there are some mentions of gEDA too: tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/kicad-devel/message/483 More specifically (from somebody named Dick Hollenbeck): ... "The design of Kicad is actually quite good, and I think it has potential to truly be excellent. I played with the gEda package for about 1/2 year. If I remember it is written in C, and I think so out of religious grounds. Being religiously opposed to C++ is silly at this point. Being religiously opposed to the use of the more exotic parts of C++ might make sense. Kicad is not over using C++. wxWidgets is a decent cross platform gui. It is good enough." ... Not because of "religious grounds", but rather back when the code base was first written, the C++ compiler was simply not up to snuff and the C++ binding for GTK+ were non-existant or quite poor. -Ales _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
