For more information, see the above blog post.
Basically, it does it by (in a semi-clean way) utiziling the existing code
for Windows plugins, which makes this method Windows specific. The requisite
patch patches some other parts of the codebase for it to work as well, but for
the most part. It actually works, as long you can see from the screenshot J. It
needs work, but it’s a good proof of concept that it will work.
Thanks for your work on this! :-) I think this approach would likely work for
the wx port too, and I think in general it'd be useful to the project as a
whole if we could split the plugin code into platform specific bits, and also
the core code for Win/Mac/GTK (or X11?) like this, as obviously the plugins
themselves are passing around native data structures rather than the ones the
ports use. This way all the ports can share the core engine code and only have
to implement the front end and do any necessary data type conversions, etc.
BTW, one thing I noticed about your patch - it seems to remove and then
re-add FrameLoaderQt.cpp (or else, whitespace or something else changed
throughout the entire file). Was this intentional?
Regards,
Kevin
