2005/6/23, Kalle Vahlman [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I wonder why one would want to bolt a toolkit on top of another one? Does FLTK have some overly fantastic widgets that Gtk is missing? I think that main advantage of FLTK is the 'L? in its name: Light. The fltklib could be 1 to 2 MB I think, so it has been used in some embedded projects before as GUI tool kit, like Pixil [1] As you can see in the fltk shots[2] there is a GUI designer, called Fluid, and a lot of widgets. It is designed for C++ programming. Do we really need another GUI environment in such device? That's the question. My first answer would be we don't need it, but I think that programmers could compile it easily for arm (it is already available) and use it and distribute it with their apps. That's freedom.

Yes, and as I pointed out, if it's ported to use gtk it won't be just that. Do we really need another GUI environment in such device? That's the question. Well, you'd have to rewrite the whole UI if you want to take advantage of FLTK, since the UI is all gtk. So to use FLTK, install the rootstrap, remove any gtk-related packages and start porting/coding :) -- Kalle Vahlman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

At a minimun it would really just need a way to integrate the application icon to be usable. Calling gtk routines from a fltk app would only increase the exe size if they were statically linked. Could someone please provide a link to the hildon code (is it available?) so I can investigate this further.

[maemo-developers] FLTK
Hi, I tried building FLTK r2 (www.fltk.org) in the maemo scratchbox and the demo's seemedto run ok. The menus and application icon obviously didn't integrate with the system. When maemopad was activated there didn't seem to be any way to switch back to the running fltk sample app. It looks like FLTK apps could be fully integrated if either - 1. the hildon UI code was available and ported to use FLTK or 2, FLTK was ported to use GTK+ as the underlying system. (like wxGTK+) Does any of this sound feasable? Regards, Chris ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
