I was looking at the betawidget stuff in trunk, and there is no solution file for this. I tried to self compile but then I notice there are no libs made in the dev package! Someone forget to commit this stuff ?
Digging deeper it needs
Code: Select all
PKG_CHECK_MODULES([CAIRO], [cairo])
PKG_CHECK_MODULES([SVG_CAIRO], [libsvg-cairo])
PKG_CHECK_MODULES([PANGO_CAIRO], [pangocairo])
and lua
http://www.pango.org/ "Pango depends on 2.x series of the GLib library; more information about GLib can be found at http://www.gtk.org/. GTK is *huge*! You guys really going to require all that bloat?
Lua is not a problem.
libsvg-cairo is deprecated !!
There are no Dll's there.On Wed, 2006-12-13 at 20:24 -0500, Jerry wrote:

cairo-libsvg is deprecated and unmainained. Use librsvg instead. Dll's
can be found here:

What is the story behind this and why use deprecated and unmaintained code ? That would seem like a very bad choice.
This got me thinking from what I have read in forums and ML and the mock-up screens posted here viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2258&p=23238#p23230 there is no way those mock-up screens are even remotely possible with the codebase in this state.
All work on betawidget has stopped and the author seems to have no commits in betawidget since April 14.
Is there any reason why your guys are trying to reinvent the wheel? Here are some I have found.

The best one by far is Qt since it has a IDE with it and works on all platforms.
