I will try to make cairo back to compile again _after_ they can stabilize their APIs. They are discussing new APIs right now and quite interesting. For now the simplest way to be able to use cairo's api directly in GNUstep code is by adding a special method to cairo-back to export cairo context from the back, that's 3 lines of code but it would introduce an unacceptable dependency, thus it may be acceptable one day but I can't judge that. BTW, I hope I or someone will make glitz part to work soon, it isn't hard, but my X isn't accelerated and I don't how to do it. Though, the current cairo integration is better than any existing toolkits already :P Beside that, GTK+ won't be able to rotate their widget in the same fashion like GNUstep can after the integration (according to Owen) _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
