Portable network layer
Hi, I'm developing a gtk (gtkmm) app for both Windows and Linux. So far so good, everything works, on both platforms However, I'd like to add network functionality to the program: open a tcp connection to a server, and grab data from it. The protocol is a simple applicative one (not http), and I'm planning to run this in a separate thread, updating the data in the main window. What API are available to do this? anything already in gtk dependencies? (I suppose one for the network and another for the threading(most probably glib) ) I'd like to keep the dependencies to a strict minimum (preferably bundle-able vs installable), free, and I only need basic functionality Thanks, Jonathan -- Morpheus linux, c'est une question de VI ou de MORE ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list

Please consider that you can also run the socket code in your main thread attaching the socket signal to the gtk main loop via gio channels.

Thanks, Obviously gnetlibrary is in your good books :D I also found SDL_net, but it requires SDL, and isn't _designed_ to go with gtk even though it would probably be no problem. I think I'd rather use gnet than tackle the specificities myself (let's stop reinventing the wheel eh? :P) Plus, gnet is just source, so I should just be able to compile it into my binary, yay!
