I noticed somewhere that wxWidgets used to have (or still has?) an Amiga branch. Has anyone tried if this cross platform GUI toolkit works on Morphos?

p.s. See http://www.wxwidgets.org/

I think it is posible to port wxWidget to MOS... It can work as MUI
warper.. But 1) better gcc version (with full c++ support) 2)better
MOS includes (#define suxx)3) someone who have a time for it...

I use wxWidget at work... After Our programs must to work on windows
and on linux, we choose wxWidget to use as new api.

i proposed this a hwile ago but magnetic got mad at me i too think this would be a good port.

Use MUI.

wxwidgets links to the native widget set for the computer (i belive) so it would be using MUI technicaly (i could be way off but as far as i know i am correct)

That's not so bad then.

Yep, wxwidgets is a sort of wrapper so you can write a program once and compile it for many different architectures. An app written in wxwidgets (used to be called wxwindows by the way) is very easy to port that way. I don't think there is that much overhead. So a MOS implementation would indeed use MUI. I looked around some more thoroughly, and found some sites gave conflicting info about a former Amiga version having been available (at first I read it was available for Amiga's - so I assumed this was true, until I wanted to see the docs of the port to see which version they ported). I did find a NetBSD version for Amiga's (and even one for PPC Amiga's) but none for AmigaOS yet. So it will likely have to be written from scratch. With a good compiler and good documentation that shouldn't be that much of a problem though, just a lot of work. There was one site (geekgadgets) which had an Amiga version planned, but I didn't find anywhere that they started yet or finished the port.

p.s. Hmm doh seems like I missed that earlier thread, thank you for the link Poundsmack.
