Applications / Gimp on OS/2
« on: December 29, 2012, 09:18:42 pm »
Hi All,

I know that Gimp is something that OS/2 users have often asked about.  Gimp relies on the GTK+ toolkit, which is not available on OS/2, and would require significant effort (similar to if not more than the Qt4 toolkit) to be ported natively to the OS/2 api.

I had an idea last night, that it may be possible to compile the GTK+ toolkit using Odin, then compile Gimp.  This would still provide a native OS2 executable, just parts of it would use the win32 api via Odin.

How do people feel about this?

At the moment this is just a thought that I will probably explore. No commitment on how long it may take or if it will ever see the light of day.

Cheers,

Paul

Programming / Have questions about porting software to eCS?
« on: December 26, 2012, 09:44:14 am »
Hi All,

Wanting to encourage anyone who has an interest in porting software to eCS from unix, to post their questions in this forum.  I answer a lot of questions on IRC or when I see them in the newsgroups, but this forum is a far more convenient place for those questions (unless the server crashes again :P)

Cheers,

Paul

Comments, Suggestions & Questions / Porting software to OS/2 sub-forum?
« on: December 25, 2012, 10:38:16 pm »
Hi all,

I see we have a Programming forum - what do people think about having a separate forum (or sub-forum) for people who are wanting to learn how to do Unix ports to OS/2, either using my build environment, or their own?

Or should we just use the main programming forum?

Cheers,

Paul
