Now that I have a barebones sample of Microwindows up and
running on our system (I was really rather amazed; after the screen
driver and very basic input drivers were put together it Just Worked)
I'm starting to take the steps towards making it 'production-quality' for
us. In particular, one of our primary goals is to have multiple FLTK apps
up and running on the system. To this end, I've got a couple of questions...
1) Has any thought been given on uWin side of things to things like a shared
library, application loaders, etc? At the moment it seems like there can
only be one application actually running, though that application can open
as many windows as it would like. Is this a pretty fair summary of the
situation?
Are there any plans for this to change or thoughts on the best way to go about
changing this?
2) Alternately -- as far as I understand, at least, currently the FLTK port is
only
targetting the Microwindows side of nanogui. Is anyone working on a nano-X
port of FLTK, or is the expectation that gdk/gtk will fill things in
acceptably on
that side? It seems as though nano-X has much better support for a
multiple-app
sort of model right now.
Any suggestions or thoughts other people have on this would be really
welcomed.
Thanks!
