Hi all, I'm going to try to port an OSG application that has been happily running under Linux to Windows. For conversation purposes, lets say it is a slightly more complicated version of osgviewer with a menu. The menu is done in wxWidgets. I need to port this to windows XP, using the VS2005 environment. So, I am strongly considering dropping the wxWidgets and either going with the Forms (.NET) or MFC for the GUI.
Gian and I are currently working on a simpleviewer based on wxWidgets. It'll be ready soon. It features a wxGLCanvas suitable for rendering with the OSG. Also, Ewart is working on a slightly more complex example (see the previous threads in this list). I personally don't understand your "So" when considering dropping wxWidgets ... I am currently using wxWidgets 2.8.2 with the latest OSG on WinXP and both VS 2003 and 2005 give me entire satisfaction, plus I can compile my app on Linux without a hitch. MFC is a real pain -- but luckily, a non portable one :) I don't know about .NET, though, but I can't really see the point in using tons of wrapper code and virtual machine thingies when you just want a menu. I have noticed that I can't get unrelated applications to compile with
the Forms if I try to link in an unmanaged DLL. So, I am asking for opinions, rants, raves, source code examples, etc.... of how to do this. Is it even easy to get OSG to compile under 2005? Is there a vc7proj now?
Just open the DSW as usual and click "build" :) You need to convert from VC6 files but VS 2005 does this automatically. -- Thibault
