Hi Johnathan, nice to read from you! This is Wonko. OK, we are very aware of this problem and have been for a while. FLTK 1.3 has completely moved away from Carbon and hence QuickDraw. But since nobody maintains 2.x anymore, I doubt that anyone will go through the tremendous work and move the FLTK 1.3 core into FLTK 2. There is a light at the end of the tunnel though, and it's shiny and bright. Here are your options for the DD tools on Mac: 1: move all code to FLTK 1.3. Half of it will be more or less a search and replace action, but there is one big difference that will bite: in FLTK1, all widgets are calculated in offset to the next Window, in FLTk2 however, the are offset to the next higher Group. So you will have to manually change all coordinates. 2: stick with FLTK 2, and then either replace all Carbon with Cocoa (take a month off work for that!) or compile FLTK 2 for X11 on OS X. You will then of course need the X server to run DD tools, but it is by far the quickest way to get back on the horse. 3: use FLTK 3. It's currently only in SVN, and it's far from complete, but it will have something very nice just for you (and all the others with FLTK 2 source code :-). FLTK 3 has an API that is very similar to FLTK 2, but the core is actually based on FLTK 1.3, so Carbon is out, Cocoa is in (yay). It has an 80% complete FLTK 1 compatibility layer that allows FLTK 1 programs to compile and link with FLTK 3 without changing much (or any) of the source code. Once this is done (I am actively porting things right now), I will start the FLTK 2 compatibility layer. This will be a bit trickier, but possible. Once the main widget types are wrapped, you should be able to compile most DD tools without much effort. As a bonus, you can intermix FLTK 2 and FLTK 3 and write all new code using the new shiny API. So if you decide for 3, please let me know. Any input is very welcome, and knowing how you work, greatly appreciated. Oh, and do they still serve Bitburger at the beach? - Matthias _______________________________________________ fltk-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
