How did you go about reimplementing the backend in Cocoa? Did you sit down for a straight week mapping all the X calls to Cocoa and only compiled the whole thing after the conversion was done? Or did you find a way to do the conversion incrementally, compiling and testing intermediate versions? > I think that one of my remarks has not been properly appreciated: > this "port" run ALSO on Linux if one is willing to use GNUstep > libraries (and on Windows). I myself am fine with the "home-made" GUI TeXmacs uses. My main interest in a Cairo/OpenGL backend is the vision of using TeXmacs as a typesetting/text rendering library for other Cairo/OpenGL apps. I am very curious about trying your converted version of TeXmacs on GNUstep, though :) Felix _______________________________________________ Texmacs-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/texmacs-dev
