Migrating options from NBTK

2011-06-27 Thread jeetu.gol...@gmail.com 
Hi guys,

First, let me thank the clutter devels on a very fine piece of work indeed :)

I have my open source (gpl) project (eBrainPool - http://ebrain.in)
built atop clutter and nbtk. Nbtk unfortunately is deprecated and
libnbtk-dev is no longer in debian from testing onwards. Therefore I
need to move my code base to something more supported.

Although we begun our code targeting the moblin platform (this nbtk),
we are no longer fixated on a single subset of linux and in fact would
prefer choosing a technology that would let us transition over to
other platforms without massive code redo. My needs are not graphics
intensive - I choose clutter because it's simple and could get my off
the ground really quick and I felt it had a strong road ahead for when
I needed a more sophisticated UI.

I'd appreciate if someone here could give us their opinion on what
techs or combinations they feel we should be looking at. As I see my
options seem to be :

- Clutter + MX (if not MX any other toolkit ppl can suggest, any
disadvantages to using MX?)
- Standalone Clutter (would clutter be good enough on it's own?)
- GTK/Qt (massive change to current code base)

I would sincerely appreciate if you guys could give me a few pointers
on what you feel would be the best road ahead :)

Thanks so much :)

Bye for now

Hi Bastian,

Thanks for your response :)

Yes I've just ported my code onto mxand you're quite right for the
most part it was as good as a s/nbtk/mx/g :) just a few functions
named differently.

I was just a little concerned about the down the line implications of
using MX - will it be deprecated soon like nbtk, support for other
oses, what are other projects and people using clutter going with,
etc.

Thanks again for your help :)
