1. What are the "distribution" considerations? Considering Windows targets - can we have all the required libraries bundled in the final executable? 2. Can the apps be cross built? i.e. Built on Linux for macOS and windows`targets? thanks for pointers, srini On Friday, September 14, 2018 at 1:17:00 PM UTC-4, Andrew Williams wrote: > > Hi, > > Some time ago I realised that Go was a great language for building new > applications, as I wanted to use something powerful but fast to learn.

Hi There, I tried it to test it. But i am getting the below error : # pkg-config --cflags -- eina evas ecore-evas ecore-evas ecore-input ecore ecore-evas eina evas ecore-evas ecore-input ecore evas ecore ecore-evas ecore-input evas Package eina was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `eina.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'eina' found what path should be exported to PKG_CONFIG_PATH?

Re: [go-nuts] Re: Announcing a Fyne GUI toolkit
Hi, Great questions, thanks! 1. We can bundle in the libraries for Windows and for macOS - but on linux probably not (unless your app is LGPL/GPL due to a licensing issue that I have not found a better solution to). But distribution on Linux it is normal to depend on external libraries :). There will be a tool included to package final binaries, but I have not got it to a satisfactory level to share yet. 2. Yes, we should be able to do cross-compilation using the standard Go tools. There is the usual challenge of enabling CGO for a GOOS build, but beyond that it should be OK. It's easier than, for example, andlabs UI as we are not linking to OS specific functionality, just the libefl abstraction. Point 2 may change over time - as we may wish to add certain OS abstraction directly which may make cross compilaton harder. What I was thinking about, however, was creating some app metadata format and a centralised build server to work around both build and package distribution issues... I hope that helps, Andrew On Sat, 6 Oct 2018 at 11:41 R Srinivasan wrote: > 1.

Re: [go-nuts] Re: Announcing a Fyne GUI toolkit
Hi, As the Fyne toolkit depends on EFL you need to either install that yourself or use our bootstrap tool[1]. If you have done one or other of those then the error you are seeing is strange, I can try to help you off-list (if so please provide info about OS etc). I am trying to find ways to provide more helpful errors when the native deps cannot be found...!

Re: [go-nuts] Re: Announcing a Fyne GUI toolkit
Hi, Many thanks for that feedback! We have a long way to go for a full toolkit but it's close to supporting basic applications. Being designed for the Go language makes it so much quicker and easier to develop with than other possible toolkit choices - and I'm not just saying that from a biased point of view :) Thanks, Andrew On Tue, 9 Oct 2018 at 02:43 ct via golang-nuts wrote: > Just wanted to drop in and say that I'm very impressed with the design and > quality of the examples I've seen. > > Great work, and thanks for sharing! > > On Friday, September 14, 2018 at 5:17:00 PM UTC, Andrew Williams wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> Some time ago I realised that Go was a great language for building new >> applications, as I wanted to use something powerful but fast to learn.

Re: [go-nuts] Re: Announcing a Fyne GUI toolkit
Thanks a bunch. I will give a serious "go". Background - a tool that is command line now. Developed on Linux but typical user in Windows. Just cross built for windows. Want to add a minimal frontend - simple dialog. Being like a calculator - don't want to have elaborate "install" procedures. In the case of the cli - one .exe is all it takes. will experiment and report back. srini On Thursday, October 11, 2018 at 3:54:29 PM UTC-4, Andrew Williams wrote: > > Hi, > > Great questions, thanks! > > 1.

Re: [go-nuts] Re: Announcing a Fyne GUI toolkit
Hi, Ah I see what you mean. The cross compiled windows file will rely on the efl library, but that can be packaged. This means that it would need to be a bigger distribution than just the exe if you want all deps shipped (I’m not too familiar with the windows terms yet). I’ll try and get a document up about distribution which can explain better and be kept up to date. Thanks, Andrew On 12 Oct 2018, 01:54 +0100, R Srinivasan , wrote: > Thanks a bunch.

Re: [go-nuts] Re: Announcing a Fyne GUI toolkit
Hi, For anyone still interested in this project but held back by the EFL build or runtime dependency then I have good news: * Our new default driver does not rely on additional libraries * :) We have moved to an OpenGL driver - using go-gl and glfw so all you need is the system libraries - and nothing for the app users to install. There are a couple of performance issues that we will be working on but it is currently capable of running all the apps that were written with the previous driver. I hope this is helpful to some folk - apologies for reviving the old thread. Andrew On Fri, 12 Oct 2018 at 23:01 Andrew Williams wrote: > Hi, > > Ah I see what you mean.

Re: [go-nuts] Re: Announcing a Fyne GUI toolkit
Hey, the thread isn't that old... but have a question since you are in the thick of GUI things: what do you think of Vulkan?

Re: [go-nuts] Re: Announcing a Fyne GUI toolkit
Hi, Vulcan looks like an interesting project and could provide an event higher performance rendering for a Fyne driver. Unfortunately support does not seem to be as widespread as OpenGL (and there seem to be some fun driver issues) so my knowledge is currently theoretical.

Re: [go-nuts] Re: Announcing a Fyne GUI toolkit
I've been experimenting with writing games in Go ever since webAssembly came out. Are games a possible use case for the GUI? I saw u mention you were working on... "basically a canvas that can draw line/rect/text/images(including svg) and some basic window handling." Which sounds like all you'd need for 2d game graphics :D -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.

Re: [go-nuts] Re: Announcing a Fyne GUI toolkit
Absolutely games are possible :) In our examples repo we have “life”, “bugs”(like mines) and “solitaire”(incomplete). Maybe one of them will inspire you. The canvas work is a little less polished than the main widget set but it should be included in our upcoming release.
