[xsrcg-devel] How Cross-Platform?

[Adam B. <co...@di...>]

I think this topic on it's own devserves it's own thread.

We've pretty much decided to do a library to power the program, so the 
next step is to figure out how to write the library. I guess the 
question comes down to this; do we really care that much about future 
support on Windows and non-Cocoa/GNUStep environments?

Yes, it would be nice to have a library compatible across platforms, 
but do we want that to become part of the scope of this project, or do 
we want to stick with the original idea of Cocoa/GNUStep support?

Personally, while I feel that having the library be compatible across 
any number of platforms, it's not something I'm willing to bend over 
backwards for if we all feel it'll be to the detriment of the original 
Cocoa/GNUStep environment. I feel Cocoa/GNUStep should certainly take 
precedence here.

Perhaps a fully cross-platform library, based off of our Cocoa/GNUStep 
work could be the focus of a future project. Even if we go all out into 
Coca/GNUStep-land porting the library could probably be done and might 
be preferable to making concessions to our preferred target.
