About reimplementing UIKit, you can actually map UIKit to AppKit. Those code are largely similar. p.s. Is there any tool that converts Xcode project into Makefile? 在 2013-2-26，下午4:21，Luboš Doležel 写道： > On 25.2.2013 11:17, Ivan Vučica wrote: >> I think it might also be a better year for me to

Hello all, In the end, I only played with compiling Base for Android since writing the previous mail. But, here's some bad news -- that happen to be good for my contributions to GNUstep :-) It looks like I'll be free from the part-time job that I had last summer. So, any frustration that Fred may

Re: [GSoC Mentors Announce] Google Summer of Code 2013

I would really love if Ivan can move forward with some QuartzCore development! I've been really looking forward to Ivan's improvements in these areas. Full disclosure: we heavily use GNUStep to cross-compile iOS applications and games to Android... We've shipped about 20 games that use GNUStep

Re: [GSoC Mentors Announce] Google Summer of Code 2013

This looks really interesting. Getting Chameleon UIKit to work with GNUstep's core graphics and core animation would be very nice! For the Viking project I'm not sure how much of UIKit/AppKit we will use and how much we'll build our own UI. Most likely, we will start out with existing UI classes

I thought again and I may be able to stand in as a backup mentor for your project. Not the main mentor, joining in later this summer to help out. I will try to register as a mentor, but you will still need an official mentor. Apart for the usual candidates as Richard and Greg I would like to su

While we're discussing lower level graphics API I would like to ask one more thing. What would it take to run GNUstep on DirectFB instead of X? Is this possible at this time? Johannes Lundberg BRILLIANTSERVICE CO., LTD. On Thu, Apr 25, 2013 at 7:57 AM, Ivan V

Re: [GSoC Mentors Announce] Google Summer of Code 2013

Do you mean that if rendering is offloaded to the CPU the performance gained from moving from X to DirectFB is not that big? For our head mount display all events will be generated from things like gestures and voice control so we don't really need X for input events. Johannes Lundberg BRILLIANTS

Re: [GSoC Mentors Announce] Google Summer of Code 2013

I think David refers to the need to cache as much drawables into OpenGL/OpenGL ES textures as possible and then composite them on screen using OpenGL/OpenGL ES. Putting pixels and updating them using 2D drawing commands ("put a rectangle here", "copy this rectangle into this rectangle") stops pa

Re: [GSoC Mentors Announce] Google Summer of Code 2013

We're basing our system on FreeBSD and there seems to be a DirectFB port, however I don't know how complete it is. For our purpose, as long as it runs on BSD, it's OK. Johannes Lundberg BRILLIANTSERVICE CO., LTD. On Fri, Apr 26, 2013 at 6:46 PM, Ivan Vučica w

Hi Fred, Ivan, I'd be interested in mentoring a backend/Opal related project, or at least offering guidance if we have a mentor already. I guess I have to register on the GSoC site? Eric On 2013-04-24, at 5:56 PM, Fred Kiefer wrote: > I thought again and I may be able to stand in as a backup

Re: [GSoC Mentors Announce] Google Summer of Code 2013

I think so! Just to note, David has already registered as a mentor; I don't have any specific idea how to work things out in this situation, but what I do have is appreciation for all the mentoring and help during the planning and coding phase that I can -- and apparently will -- get :-) I did
