wxwidgets take GTK+ as one of their backends, so one does not exclude the other. However, AFAICS wxwidgets supports just C++. I don't think that it would make sense to move Emacs to C++. Also they are third-party software. Basing Emacs ports to rely on them in favor of other approaches would seem like a strategical risk to me. Such a commitment, I think, would require some securities. Anyway, given the C++ problem, I don't think that we need to think about that. If somebody wants to invest time taking a look how to combine Emacs with xwidgets without having to replace our build and memory allocation infra structure, that's fine. But I can't see it as a viable porting path at the moment. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
