Hi guys,
I came across a library similar in some ways to microwindows. This thing is
called MiniGUI, and it's a library that tries to implement the Win32 API for
svgalib. After some tweaking, I sucessfully compiled the whole thing and the
demos programs. One thing I can say is, pretty good! The first I noticed is
that theres a lot of already avalaible controls with it, like buttons, list
box, combo box, and stuff like that... but, this thing is still alpha
software (I guess), and the guys that wrote it speaks chinese, so some
default texts are in chinese.
I think that this could be a good starting point for adding various
controls to microwindows, so some "real" apps can actually be written :) I
looked at the code of both microwindows and MiniGUI, and would have liked to
be able to port the MiniGUI stuff to microwindows myself, but I just don't
have enough knowledge on how it works. Maybe in the future I'll be able to
help :)
So here's the address for MiniGUI:
http://minigui.aka.citf.net/
You can download the source in the 'Snapshots' section. If I remember well,
I needed to install newt, post and gettext rpms to get this thing to work.
Anyways, just tell me what you think, I'd be interested in knowing if this
library could be useful to us.
Simon
