Next steps

Hi all,

I would like to raise a discussion about what could be done next to 
make sure that we can start implementing some prototypes.

I would appreciate it if we could start working on that on OS/2, at 
least for the basic things so far. We would need that:

- Cairo - done
- GTK+ - needs to get ported
- OpenGL SW interface - 1.4 implementation is available for SNAP

If we have GTK+ on PM we wouldn't need the WM yet, so one could start 
the work on other things already right?

Re: Next steps

Hi,
I have done some work on Everblue the previous weeks.
GTK2 is nearly working with EB2 - programs start, but display is wrong.
(GTK1 did work with EB1, see Gimp).
So I would recommend finishing it is the easiest way.

another question, what compiler & libs are you using for EB2?

Re: Re: Next steps

Hi,
for EB2 itself I use gcc3.3.5rc1, used source code is from x.org.
Auxiliary binary X libs from XFree86/2.

X client applications should better still be compiled with older gcc,
because
- no select implementation except for sockets so far (Knut says, he has
to wait for nuke's contributions)
- Name schemes are not binary compatible (an underscore has been added
before each IMPORT)

Of course you can find workarounds ...

exellent! Sounds like a good idea to me.

Let us know when you got something to play with :)

Cairo currently runs on PM. Doodle told me that we have to port Glitz to
utilisize OpenGL with Cairo. When that is done it's possible to use
OpenGL on OS/2 in a fullscreen session.

    Cairo -> Glitz -> SNAP-OGL -> fulscreen session

Note that this isn't yet HW accelerated.

I guess we should leave the port of GTK+ to Cairo to the core GTK developers
(or not?). In theory when this is done we only have to recompile on OS/2
and have a system running fullscreen in parallel to PM. With this second
graphical system one may start the transition on OS/2 without the need to
first create a kernel.

Sebastian stated quite some work has been done on this. So I think it's
possible in the near future to start end user visible development based on
that. As soon as basic things are working (e.g. window creating, basic
containers,
