Actually in that branch the idea is it would work with GTK2 or 3.I'll see if I can rebase it on current master sonner. I'm working out of town do not much time.
As far as qt vrs GTK. I see no reason to have both in linuxcnc. There had been heavy investment in gladevcp no sense in throwing it away and making people change tool kits. I'm of course trying to use what I learned working on gladevcp when making qtvcp. It mostly works the same. Currently it uses a reparented GTK2 gremlin as a graphics display so it would be nice to have that native qt. Machine kit made a c++ QT Graphics display- I haven't looked to see how hard it would be to port it over.

I know, and I would like to work on that. problem is, in in wheezy or jessie shipped with a old gtk3 version, which could not ctreate the opengl context without hacks. in stretch this is possible. > I did some experimental work on a gremlin substitute...it's was too much work > for me to figure out but I could dig up the code when I'm next at home..in a > couple weeks. > I think I got as far as displaying the origin and axis letters , pan as zoom. > I would love for someone to take this on. > I quit working on the branch because of this hurdle. I think the first step would be to merge master into that branch, and get the basics working. can you explain how I can test things? launching the widgets, and stuff, unfortunately I dont know much about pyvcp… I think getting rid of gtk2 dependencies is an important step to remove legacy deps, and move forward...
