It did occur to me when I saw what a large part of the Harbour SVN
it is now that it should be a separate project.
And yet, a cross platform GUI for Harbour? Maybe it shouldn't. I
suspect that the idea of a standard GUI for Harbour may remain a
pipe dream.
I think QT is quite fine for UI purpose and our
goal was exactly to implement that. Pritpal did a
huge and great job with it and now it's working on
Linux, Mac OS X and Windows (maybe even WinCE).
IMO we reached the goal quite nicely. The code is
large and for this reason I'd like if we would stick
with UI related stuff.
If we need the rest (QT has networking, web access,
FTP, some of these already slipped into hbqt, and who
knows what else), we can move/implement them in
distinct libraries, even outside our repository.
The tools are there for everyone.
Harbour's goal is IMO not to implement a complete
wrapper for QT as a *platform*. Harbour *is* the platform
itself with many features, duplicating these efforts
on a more limited (in portability, size) platform is
not ideal.
Brgds,
