[Quest-ed-devel] Re: GTK+ CVS only etc.

[stephen p. <cyb...@ya...>]

Well GTK isn't too bad. GTK+ is a little immature but still I believe
Borland supports this now (via Klyx interface for delphi and in
december for C++).  GTK's biggest weakness is a lack of integration of
form generating tools with actual coding tools and a compilor. Yes this
seems trivial but it's not, many programers are spoiled with VC++ and
Visual Basic. :)

CVS source only? that explains the quietness of the discussion list. I
remember the last discusion was error handling gracefully. I think we
concluded we get what we get with error handling (chuckles).

Oh and someone asked what was happening too.

SDL actually looks good.

GLUT is dangerous only use if you have to.  GLUT has some serious
control issues unfortunately.  Once you call the main GLUT loop, don't
call it, it will call you. This can lead to control issues that I don't
want to discuse. It's been discused on the Worldforge client lists
already. Just think of it this way, IT has control not your program.

OGL is fine I suppose but you can call OGL from SDL I think that is
better. A standard interface makes things more managable when something
goes beyond the scope of one person.  Standards are important. Qt is
Ok, I just don't use it.

Custom is ok.. just realize that YOU have to support the interface, and
the interface won't support you. It makes things very difficult to
maintain then.
