[Abios-rtool-software-dev] Discussion of tools to use for ABRT software.

[Jack G. <jac...@ya...>]

Hello again,

=20

I=92m sending this message out hopefully to start a discussion on what =
tools
to use to create the client software for the Affordable Bios Restoration
Tool project.=20

=20

The requirements that I would like to fulfill are the following:

*	Support for Linux and Windows.
*	Easy installation, one unified installer would be nice. At the very
list the required libs/toolkits should be minimal and easy to install.
*	GUI (can be at a later stage).

=20

Here are some possible approaches to accomplish this:

*	Java/CommAPI/Swing. This should work for Windows and Linux and is
fairly easy to install. I=92ve never written a gui in Java though.
*	gcc, using cygwin in Windows. After talking with Mike he wanted to
stay away from cygwin and wanted to use fltk as the gui. I like fltk and
would like to stay away from cygwin if possible. I=92m not sure what =
Mike had
in mind to do that but my next bullet is a guess on what he was =
thinking.
*	gcc/Visual C++ using ifdef statements for the differences between
the linux and windows versions.

Any other ideas or clarifications on how to do this? Any other =
requirements
that we should include up front?

=20

Thanks,

=20

Jack.
