|Why? We already have wxWindows.
|
|
|
|
|
|No disrespect intended, just curious what it offers that wxWindows doesn't.

For one thing, Python/Tkinter (& Tcl/Tk) is easier to build, and there
|
|
is one coordinated distribution of all of them.
|
|
|
|
I didn't get to using wxWindows, so I can't comment on that. I just
|
|
pulled down one of the number of varients of the latest version off the GTK
|
|
home page this morning. configure tripped several times on a stock IRIX
|
|
system. I tweaked a few of these, but nuked it when it refused to use
|
|
SGI's stock make.
|
|
|
|
Unlike most GNU configure-enabled progs, this one doesn't look at your
|
|
system and use what you have.
