nanogui: Thread: where are gdImage* routines

I just pulled down the nanoGUI project, and it looks great.  Where can I find
the gdImage* routines, used by giftobogl.c?

I don't know. I just took a look at the clean bogl package and they're
missing from there as well. I've never used it though, what are you trying
to do?

Oh, duh. I just realised that they must be gd routines (the gd* does kind 
of give it away ;). http://www.boutell.com/gd/

After installing gd, you can build it with:
gcc -O2 -o gif2bogl giftobogl.c -lm -lgd

Alex,
	Thanks for the url.

	After working dang near the whole weekend on it, I finally have the
nanoGui package up and running.  It turns out there were all sorts of unimplemented
routines...  I wrote all the event management stuff, GetNextEvent, CheckNext, Peek,
etc.  I was wondering, did this package ever run the examples/demo or exampes/landmine?
It appears that they never ran.  In any case, I've got the demo running now.  I've also
written a stub library that allows the application to be linked directly to the server,
so that the network stuff can be debugged separately.

	There's quite a few issues I would like to talk about.  Is there a way we could
talk?  I need to get an understanding as to what has worked etc, so I don't spend
too much time rewriting stuff that supposedly once worked...  By tonight I think
I'll have all the event stuff completely working, as well as the text output.  I'm also
ready to put in the fixes for cursor hiding during drawing, etc.

	Are you currently doing all this also, or should I send you my source?

Greg

Alex,
	Also, do you know where the original bogl library and mini-x library distributions
are?

It did before I broke quite a lot of it in writing the network code and
(starting to) fix various things which were badly done the first time
round.

Great.

Haha. That sounds like it was before I started on it ;) Originally the
application and server were linked together because the original author
never got around to writing the network stuff.

Email is best, either personal or through the list. IRC isn't ideal for me
as we have to pay for phone calls by the minute in the UK.

I'm not working on Nano-X currently myself, as I have a couple of projects
for Uni to finish off very urgently, plus exams in a couple of weeks. The
only reason I released it when I did really was because I knew I wouldn't
have any time to spend on it myself for a while, but that others might
want to have a go...

No, I don't have the time to do it myself at the moment. I'll give you
the details for write access to the CVS server in a seperate mail, so you
can sync your stuff up yourself.

Bogl is in ftp://pfaffben.user.msu.edu/misc/

mini-X was on Alan Cox's directory on ftp.linux.org.uk, but isn't any
more, and it's also on a machine of mine which I don't have access to
right at the moment. I don't know where Alan got it from. I'll upload them
both to the ftp site tomorrow if I rememember (please remind me if I
forget).

Funny you should ask that, I was just in the process of doing it when you
mailed.
