nanogui: Thread: Porting GTK to Nano-X

Sorry for replying to the list - I can't remember who asked about this. GTK+
1.4 will include support for Win32 and BeOS ports, and to facilitate this the
codebase has been cleaned up, removing direct Xlib references in the GTK layer
and generally making the separation between GDK and Xlib cleaner. So if you
are thinking of porting GDK to Nano-X, you should probably wait for the 1.4
release.

Or take a look at the CVS tree

I'm afraid not - I just got this info from news.gnome.org. Owen Taylor

I think Steve was asking.  I agree that 1.4 is better, but I could
still use input regarding missing functionality required in Nano-X
so that we could be working on that while 1.4 final is being
worked on.

Hi,

Yep, I agree that 1.4 will be the best target.  I've got the latest CVS,
and the layout will make it much easier to port to nanoGUI.  Kudos to the
GTK maintainers.  However, it looks like things are still in a bit of a
state of flux with the current CVS, so I'll work on things that probably
won't change too much at first, then go to the harder ones.

Since GTK hasn't even gone to 1.3, it'll probably be a while until 1.4
comes out.  :(
