[Oorexx-devel] "rexxgtk" and release 5.0.0

2022-12-19 Thread Rony G. Flatscher
There is a current question on 
"https://sourceforge.net/p/oorexx/discussion/general/thread/94d8616a49/?limit=25#19b3; about rexxgtk 
being included or not in the release.


The documentation "rexxgtk.pdf" gets installed on my PC and in its installation section describes 
Linux and Windows. One is supposed to '::requires "rexxgtk.cls"' to get access to it, however there 
is no "librexxgtk.so" on my Ubuntu Linux nor "librexxgtk.dll" on Windows.


AFAIK originally this library got created by David Ashley, but I have no memory about anyone else 
having worked on it or what its state would be.


As such I would propose to not install "rexxgtk.pdf" as the missing shared/dynamic library does not 
get installed either in the ooRexx 5.0.0 release.


What do you think?

P.S.: As gtk is doubtlessly important it would be great if some of the Unix gurus would look into 
it, check out the code and state and advice.
