Qt's been ported to OSX. It's not really worth it though, better to go native drawing libraries with Cocoa or OpenGL. On Apr 18, 2012, at 8:37 PM, hiro wrote: > Is this a joke? Has cocoa been ported to qt now?

If you consider a set of abstract widgets, reasonable enough, you could map them to native implementations in -a browser -cocoa -gnome -add your one here. then, there could be a portable shared component speaking to those and gatewaying to your favorite protocol (9p, ix), and you could have a cl

i thought the easiest way to begin and be cross-platform would be to talk to a component running in a browser, similar in principle to a viewer in Octopus. a browser client will be needed anyway, and there is a browser on many things (often only a browser); thus your first step won't be your last,

ah, if you said just to leverage a native kit, yes, that was the plan I had. but abstracting it. -- iphone kbd. excuse typos :) On Apr 18, 2012, at 6:09 PM, arn...@skeeve.com wrote: >> Is it exported as files? >> >> I thought I knew Qt, but, if it provides a file interface, I missed that. >

To make it explicit, the plan I have is to throw away o/live and o/mero and write something native for macos, linux, and perhaps ios such that the UI widgets are abstract and handled in a similar way they are handled in o/live. Only that they'd be native widgets with the look of the native system

I should add that "along the lines" of Octopus meant that, as often happens, many of the details might change to account for experience and second thoughts, and for changed technology. Obvious candidates for the latter would be the increased availability of 3D, and vastly greater browser capabiliti

Sure. I'm using it (and nix/plan9) to develop nix. Drop me a line off-list if you want help, but you should have everything you need in the web site, including the distribution of the system. On Apr 18, 2012, at 2:26 AM, kokam...@hera.eonet.ne.jp wrote: >> I was thinking along the lines of http:
