[TiLP-devel] Still here

[james <ja...@ki...>]

Though Admittedly I haven't done much with ti-calcs lately as my second 
link-cable, and 73 broke. I would be interested in helping if I have the 
time. 

btw, does the gui on tiemu use glade or is it handwritten? 
(I recently got a Sharp Zaurus and it is based on Qt Embedded, and Qt 
designer can import glade files, so getting that ported should be relatively 
simple, and no calculator program for either pda or desktop seems quite as 
easy or complete as a TI83(+) or 89)

Thanks for the reply :)

Glade was used to design the GUI elements, some changes were made to
the code, though, but it's not a big deal.

The GUI uses GTK+ for everything except the calc itself. The calc is
displayed in an SDL window. I don't know if the SDL is available on
the Zaurus, but I guess there could be someone working on that ;)

For TiEmu, we plan on doing a native Win32 port and a native OS X
port, but it is not very high on the todo list at the moment.

Thanks, That should be pretty easy to port then (assuming I have the time to 
really work on it, The University I go to has started up again.) SDL is 
available, unfortunately only in framebuffer mode. (Zaurus uses Qtopia which 
is a version of Qt running on framebuffer that handles the windows itself 
without X or anything else, which allows some programs (mplayer in particular 
to run well (due to it's framebuffer support).) So I don't know if can use 
SDL in combination with Qt for display (importing Glade files to Qt Designer 
is pretty easy). Hmm... I need to look at this some more. 

Thanks,

James L.
