Hello, I'm a new subscriber.
I'd like to port GTK+ to Windows 95/NT for a few reasons.
1) Promote mozilla to use GTK+ for it's GUI.
Meaning:
a) Possible GNOME port of communicator? Probably not, but I hope
so.
b) Cross platform mozilla HTML viewing widget. Cha-ching.
2) So I can write a freakin' GUI app and not worry about the hairy Linux
-> Win32 or
Win32 -> Linux port.
I realize there are other alternatives, (wxWidgets), but I'm very fond
of GTK+.
If anyone has heard of a Win32 port, I'll go work on that. If not, I'll
start submitting patches, starting with glib, pausing to design battle
plan for gdk, then porting gdk (yes, I realize this is a lot of work).
My plan is to use the exact same libgtk code, so that new widgets will
automatically be cross-platform. A quick skim of the code suggests this
as possible.
libgdk may be almost a rewrite. I'm prepared for this, though hoping it
isn't so.
How much support have I got?
