change in direction for xemacs-gtk

The Gtk port of XEmacs has an FFI wrapping to make Gtk code callable from lisp. It was designed with Gtk 1.x and I've made it work with Gtk 2.x. The mechanism used has been removed from Gtk 3, and developers are encouraged to use gobject introspection instead. So to fully support Gtk 3, I'd have to replace the FFI layer. I am interested in that, but it does distract from the goal of completed Gtk support. I've created a branch repository, xemacs-gobject to hold ongoing FFI integration work. I'm stripping out the FFI from xemacs-gtk, using just C to implement it. This means a finite amount of work to get Gtk support finished, as well as making Gtk 3 integration much easier. I've been working on Gtk intermittently for a year, and I'd like to get something finished. -- Jeff Sparkes jsparkes(a)gmail.com _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
