Alright, looks like it's just Zach any I who are interested in doing this. Just to establish a common environment, let's agree on the libraries and programs we're gonna use: gtk version 1.2.10 glib version 1.2.10 glade version 0.6.2 Guess what, this just happens to be what I have installed. Anyway, I looked at gum. I don't think glade uses the xml file to store the layout of your program anymore, though glade will still parse the xml. However, glade now creates a totally different set of source files; there isn't an xml file to describe the project anymore. Most of the stuff that gets generated are stubs--you get to fill in the C code, mostly the callback functions. I think we should just go with the latter approach. Trying to salvage code from gum could be problematic, since we'd have to remove all the existing widgets and add our own--easier to start from scratch. We could probably use the stuff that James wrote to work with the config files--ie the functions to write stuff to the xtrekrc. I'm gonna worry about the windows build. I want to make sure I can build it using cygwin. I've looked into it and yes, the libraries are available in cygwin, though I haven't tried compiling it there. So, if you can set me and zach up with CVS access, we can get goin. gerard >From: Kurt Siegl <007 at freemail.at> >Reply-To: vanilla-list at us.netrek.org >To: vanilla-list at us.netrek.org >CC: cow at netrek.org >Subject: Re: [Vanilla List] any growth on this? >Date: Fri, 23 Nov 2001 16:37:02 +0100 > >On Friday 23 November 2001 00:36, James Cameron wrote: > > Seems we have lots of people wanting to help with the GUI for .xtrekrc, > > why don't we place it in the COW CVS tree and share the development > > process?
