Re: Want to help integrating swing. Is already someone working onit?
Hi!
But they are of no use to us then, except for the toplevel containers..
I will look at the java-gtk api at the end of the week.
The are very useful! Maybe you misunderstood me, not java-gtk, an fully
compatible gtk-awt.
Sun's awt-implementations are also based on several different native
toolkists (motif and win32) this is based in gtk.
Thats exactly what we need, and what we can build on it.
So we can do exactly in Suns way, so we can be 100% compatible!
Uhuh. Trouble is that I just checked out CVS for the first time since
weeks and make seems to be recursing infinitely and takes about 17 GB(!)
of space, I noticed because it ld exited with an error that there was no
space left.
Ufff
working together with GNU-Classpath, making theyr current
implementation (which is very poor but existing) compatible with the
AWT of GCJ.
Have you tried it? I haven't. (Couldn't get it work with less than a
half hour)
Hmm ;-)
I think it will take much more than an half hour ;-)
Hmmm, I think first we should have a look at GCJ3.3 and should try
AWT/Java2d with this.
I'll recheck the 3.3 release out and try to compile it.
Thx. Could you post how you id compile it yourself, please?
The second point is to look at GNU-Classpath, how compatible the two
classpaths are.
I must be insane to even try doing this, but I will.
Going back to work now, I'll check out if I can get both classpath and
gcj conjure up a JFrame (I didn't even get that far last time I tried)
I can only tomorrow look at at it, but i will!
Look what Cedrik wrote(!):
As far as I know SWING doesnt need any native calls, its
completlywritten on top of AWT.
>yes.
Java2d also isnt based on native functions.
>java2d itself probably uses native calls.
LOL :D ok. Let's start small ok???

Thaht would be a great idea.
I think it would absolutly make more sence to contribute to
GNU-Classpath and make the current code compatible to gcj. Maybe we need
to extend Java2d, but the AWT-stuff should be there?
Could anybody comment how far the AWT/Java2D apis are in gcj? I dont
have any idea, I think this is very important!!!!
