Package: RTK System name: rtk Type: non-GNU Description: This is (draft) RTK description from (working) RTK Book: RTK is a cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit for GNU/HURD, GNU/Linux, and different unices, as well as Microsoft® Windows®, and MacOS?® X. We have planned support for sever other operating systems in the future - notably Symbian OS and QNX. It provides modern GUI functionality with support for different devices and 3D graphics via OpenGL?®. RTK team have spent a lot of time in redesigning old eFLTK code in order to make RTK more optimised, stable, and robust. It's open architecture and opensource way of development makes RTK easily adoptable for any kind of software development, not just GUI. It is currently maintained by a small group of developers across the world with a central repository on GNU Savannah (http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/rtk). Relation between eFLTK and RTK? - eFLTK project will be abandoned when RTK project on Savannah is registered. EDE (eFLTK) team would like to change name of our base toolkit on top of which EDE and it's 25+ applications are built. The main reason for this movement is that we would like to move everything from SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ede) to Savannah. Some subprojects are already on Savannah (EDE Translation Project per example). The main reason for changing name from eFLTK to RTK is that eFLTK is not FLTK anymore - it's much better organised, optimised, and more opened to contributions than FLTK (IMHO). It also contains a lot of high-level classes that allows developer(s) to build all kinds of modern applications much faster and easier. One of the best examples what can be done with (currently still named eFLTK) is at http://ede.ho.com/ all screenshots there are made in EDE, which is built via RTK (eFLTK). Source code of eFLTK (future RTK) can be found at http://ede.ho.com/pak/snapshots/efltk-1.0.0-20030724.src.tgz . Sure, there is CVS repository for EDE. eFLTK (RTK) module is located there. Hopefully (if you are lucky and SF CVS works) you can check eFLTK out with cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/ede login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/ede co efltk Other Software Required: For core RTK one would need (i am talking about GNU/Linux operating system here) just libdl.so , libm.so, and (optionally) libiconv.so. There are plenty of options and each of them require few specific libraries which are in mosta cases distributed in common GNU/Linux distribution (POSIX Threads, unixODBC, ...).
