I posted a question about this only to get it blocked for some reason. It seems like Ubuntu and Glade seem to have some sort of problem. This is especially true in the C and C++ environments. It turns out that user posted wxWidgets as the best solution to it. Then his post was removed by the forum. I looked into it only to find that he was correct. wxWidgets seems to be the real answer for creating C or C++ applications on Linux. Not just Ubuntu, but all Linux platforms.
Glade dropped its support for producing C code in favor of an XML output. A mistake forcing some C appliocation developers include huge XML strings into their programs that makes little sence since they are essentially text. Another solution is to read the XML from some place on the hardrive. If its not there then you have to abend your program. With wxWidgets you can create an executable which is self contained. It simply runs, and requires no huge or complex install proceedures. What is interesting is that this is somehow never published, and several placed where it was published, it was since removed. I could not find any valid reason for placing any C or C++ code into an XML format. And no one has ever been able to prove that this is better in any way over wxWidgets. Having a self contained executable is always favored over external text files references which may or may not be there at execution time. -- ubuntu should default to glade-gnome-2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/16808 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
