As alot of you probably know, I've been working on a Win32 port of GGI.
A good portion is done, and I have been successful in getting XGGI to
run on Win95/98/NT.
The current GGI sources are very Linux oriented, as they should be.
However, quite a bit of the source code is worthless for Win32
platforms. There are also places where there are just plain
incompatibilities. select() for unix and win32 are very different,
win32 has no fork, as well as other Posix defeinciences.
I'd like to propose the following.... A seperate project, WinGGI, and
source tree based on the current GGI tree, devoted towards Win32
platforms. The basic libggi/ libgii api would stay the same. I would
like to see some additions such as Joystick and sound support.
Please, this is not an attempt to start a linux vs. win32 flame war, but
a way of increasing the visibility on GGI in the windows community.
Any thoughts, ideas are welcome...
