Re: [mpf70-devel] Gtk/Gnome

Hi Anthony!

Indeed, I wrote the library some time ago to keep the frontends
separated from the core operations. The command-line and Qt versions
therefore use the same operations.

I think the best is that you just create a "gtk" subdirectory, like
the current "qt" subdir. You can customise the configure.ac to add an
--enable-gtk switch!

We'll just keep the library as a convenience library for the moment,
as the are no known "outside" projects based on the library, the
chances are really minor to turn it into a self-standing lib.

I am going to be fairly busy until end of January as I have to sort
out my removal back to France, but I'll try to answer any questions
you might have as they arrive :)

If you feel that some things could be improved in the library itself,
tell me, but try to have a look what impact they will have on the
command-line and Qt frontends.

If you want, I'll handle the alterations to debian/* once you have a
binary that compiles to make sure your GUI gets packaged OK.

Finally, don't forget the output for the code documentation of the
mpf70-utils is available here:

Giving the GUI a refresher is an excellent idea, the current one is
somewhat sketchy! In time, we can probably drop the Qt version
altogether and focus on your new one.

Jeremy
