Re: About the Glib porting for My custom os
glib was also support for win32 api, it's done by G_OS_WIN32 directive. btw, do you provide free license for your OS?, if so.. how to take look for it? --- lievenvanderhe...@gmail.com wrote: From: "Lieven van der Heide" To: "Susmith M R (RBEI/ECM1)" Cc: "gtk-devel-list@gnome.org" Subject: Re: About the Glib porting for My custom os Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2008 23:01:28 -0800 Ehm, wow, you created your own OS?

Re: About the Glib porting for My custom os
Hi, there are at least four different gtk backends, X11, win32, quartz and directfb. So i would not even bother about the first 3 and go directly to directfb since you will only have to implement directfb API in your OS. Another option would be to create a new gdk backend based for example on opengles. hope this help greets Juan Pablo ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list

RE: About the Glib porting for My custom os
Thank You. But problem is not implementing Glib right away. I am in the analyzing stage only. I want to select appropriate toolkit for my os. So I want to care about propriatary behavior of the resulting binaries. Impementation is very far objective and also easy to do if suitable interfaces are available and even source code for win32 and linux is available. Sorry for the question that I asked. I was searching for an immediate decision . So please excuse me..

RE: About the Glib porting for My custom os
Hai, I have one more doubt... Not one? Ok. The whole purpose is to port GTK+ onto my OS. But while analyzing the GTK+, I found most of the GTK+ libraries are portable. But in which way it is portable is a question?. My question is about the rendering frame work of GTK+. GDK is providing cairo back end ( which will be using opengl es or native implementation ?) for GTK to render. But why directly to opengl or opengles? Why there is only Direct FB and X11 support? If there is a common interface framewrok like glib for graphics rendering other than gdk_cairo_* ( I AM NOT SURE IT IS THERE.. PLEASE FORGIVE ME IF IT IS THERE) I can use my own rendering apis.( like gdk_grahics_* ). ( Just like the gthread implementation model...superb) And the important question is "if I want to port the entire GTK+ to my custom os , what will be the effort needed for porting it , means and what are the libraries which is completely portable ?"

About the Glib porting for My custom os
Hai All, I am trying to port Glib for my custom operating system. Is it completely portable? Is Glib implemented using POSIX or what?. Do I have to create a posix subsystem for my os to work with Glib? My operating system is not based on any of the supported os available for Glib. So what should I do to port Glib?. I have my own custom libc,libstdc++,Filesystem io,process,threads etc implementation. Please Help me. And if I do change the source code of this Glib, what will be the after effects of the source code that I have developed? Whether my code has to be released to Glib repo? Lot of questions are there... Please help me.
