I am deeply impressed on what you achieved here.
Hear! Hear!
Now I am looking forward to see all this show up in the standard GNUstep CVS branch.
As are we all.
I just have to add one word of caution. Before we ever change Gorm to use an XML based format, we should make sure, we have an XML parser for all environments. Our current one will only work if libXML is present, which seems to be a problem on Windows. Again in myStep there could be a solution to this, as hns wrote a simple XML parser for his MIB files. I hope we are able to integrate this, as soon as the copyright assignment is sorted out.
I believe, Greg, you've expressed a desire to stay with the .gorm format as preferred for now and I think that is a good way to go. The only reason to move to an XML format would be to support Apple nibs.
Apple will be using XML because it opens the format up for their developers. Ours is already open ;)
libXML compiles and runs on windows (2.6.22) so its looking good. Base detects it and compiles fine. I haven't tested it enough to be happy yet which is why I've not said much about it.
The short form, XML support in GNUstep on Windows is there. Regards, Sheldon _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
