qt/mac exists.

gtk/cocoa exists.

name them, macosx has X and cocoa mostly supported by major toolkits.
tk+tile works everywhere and is also looking good.

The library is incompatible with itself depending on the configure time
options (see string constructors vs unicode string constructors)

Its ABI/API changes too often (ok, that is the result of they fixing
lots of bugs that require radical changes, but they could haven't been
on first place...)

Its architecture is a tad old.

Try Qt or ewl/etk if you don't like the default tcl/tk look, all 4 are
quite nicer architecture-wise and less painful to be handled as
dependence. MFC and winapi are surely worst than wx, gtk on the other
hand is simple and relatively easy to learn.

The main/only point of wx is that mimics quite well some sort of native
look&feel, and that is just nice if you have to handle windows users or
idiotic managers.

wx is nasty at best.

The problem got already reported in the gentoo bugzilla and in the
binutils bugzilla.

As I wrote before the issue is in the linker scripts. isn't a ld
problems (it does the right thing) nor a distribution problem (I'm not
so keen on use a older and probably with more issues open version)

[Qemu-devel] Linker issues with binutils 2.16 on ppc

2005-06-11 Thread Luca Barbato

ld complains about "Not enough room for program headers"

That's is due the use of SIZEOF_HEADERS in the linker script.

Reproduced with the current cvs on the -user targets.

Since I have no experience about ld script so I didn't try to figure out
myself a fix.


Basic system info:

gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r0, 2.6.11-gentoo-r9 binutils-2.16
