Re: [Adobe-source-devel] Compiling on Linux

[Foster T. B. <fbr...@ad...>]

Hi Peter,

At one point there was a desire to include Qt as a platform, but the =20
implementation never materialized (either publicly or privately). =20
Ralph Thomas had a working FLTK implementation at one point, but has =20
since split off his ASL code base from the mainline to work on =20
Mission Photo. In lieu of FLTK he has rewritten a platform =20
implementation for GTK+, and has produced a fine example of a third-=20
party widget platform leveraging ASL:

	<http://www.missioncode.org/photo/>

My understanding of his desire at this point is to bring his ASL code =20=

base up to speed with the mainline ASL distribution.

Blessings,
Foster
