[Cxxgui-devel] Progress

[David T. <dkt...@te...>]

Hello

I've finally managed to get on the ball, and I've made some progress
with cxxgui.

Specifically:

 * Boost.build V2 should now be working; this is in preparation for
   using BoostBook.  I plan to document the library thoroughly so
   that everyone can get a feel for how it works and how to use it.

 * Added a few things to win32/dataview.cpp so that it will at least
   run the test program without throwing a "not implemented"
   exception.

 * No longer uses DEF files on Win32.

 * Various minor fixes, mostly to make it more Boost-like.


What I had to do to get it to compile:

 * Install Boost (obviously).
 * Set BOOST_BUILD_PATH to the Boost installation directory.
 * Put user-config.jam in my home directory, and edit as necessary
   (my version attached for those who are interested).
 * On Windows: set the HOME environment variable to:

     "C:\Documents and Settings\David"

   (that INCLUDES the quotes).
 * Go to the root of the cxxgui directory and type "bjam --v2".

Please report any problems/suggestions to me.

Help wanted.  Very much.  Please let me know if you think you can
contribute anything to the project.  Even if it's just a suggestion.
I'm getting the feeling that nobody is listening to this list ;-).

Regards
David Turner
