#2 platform support and integrating

[Anonymous]

Hi, is this cross platform software?
And how easy is it to integrate with existing application?
I have an OpenGL program where I want to replace the UI with something more complete, your library looks promising.
Is there any documentation available on integrating it with existing code?

thanks

There are intentions to support multiple platforms. Currently however, this project only compiles under Windows.

It is still in it's very early stages.
Easy integration, and tutorials / samples are among the top priorities, however this may still be a fair way off.

The flightgear project is also looking for an open source, OpenGL GUI library (c++) for updating its GUI: http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/OpenGL_GUI_RESOURCES

It must be GPL compatible, though.
Also, all features (widgets) supported by its current GUI (plib pui) must obviously also be supported.

Thanks for your interest and comments.
The boxes project has come a long way in recent months, however effort to begin porting it to Linux has not yet started (though is planned for soon).

The boxes project library is LGPL, which I believe is compatible with GPL, and from what I can see, the features provided by plib.pui used by flightgear, can be mostly, if not fully implemented by boxes project.

A windows demo is available in the files section, but I suggest that you watch this space for further updates.
