Just .02 € from a programmer who's been doing it for about 40 years. I
agree with most of what has been said on this thread. My thought is that
object-oriented thinking is entirely different from procedural thinking.
I think that one needs to settle on one paradigm or the other and stay
with it
Here are a couple of off-beat suggestions:
1. I write in Ruby, so I am able to use RubyScript2exe.rb to create
a self-contained GTK+ application.
2. If your users can run virtual machines such as VMware, you can
give them your app in a virtual machine that runs a later version of Linux.
I accomplished this in Ruby by downloading ruby-gnome2 which includes
gtkmozembed. This allows you to embed the Gecko engine in your
application. I had to use Firefox to download the Flash plugin, but
then the sample program that comes with ruby-gnome2 rendered
www.visualxtreme.com/flash.html
I'm new to the use of GTK+, Glade & libGlade. I need a widget that will
render book texts formatted with HTML. Is there a source that lists
non-standard widgets that might be downloaded and incorporated into Glade?
