February 21, 2008 why "dwt-linux" instead of "dwt-gtk" ? | ||||

Is there anything specific to Linux in that DWT variant, or would it work on other Unix ? For instance FreeBSD and Mac OS X have support for running GTK+ on either X11 or even Aqua... --anders |

SWT has these variants:
1.) win32-win32-x86 => dwt-win
2.) wpf-win32-x86
3.) win32-wce_ppc-arm-j2se
4.) win32-wce_ppc-arm-j2me
5.) gtk-linux-x86 => dwt-linux
6.) gtk-linux-x86_64
7.) gtk-linux-ppc
8.) motif-linux-x86
9.) gtk-solaris-sparc
10.) motif-solaris-sparc
11.) photon-qnx-x86
12.) motif-aix-ppc
13.) carbon-macosx
So, the project names could have been choosen more precisely like dwt-win32-win32-x86 and dwt-linux-gtk-x86. But I found this a bit too explicit. Perhaps, if we decide to also do a WPF or 64 bit port, we have to rethink the project names.
If you could use the dwt-linux for anything different from Linux, i don't know.

I see, just my ignorance about available SWT versions then. :-)
And if you do decide to support 64-bit, that could probably fit
within the existing projects (even if needing different binaries)
While FreeBSD can run the Linux binaries, it doesn't help the Mac.
Then again the GTK+ port does look a bit "alien" on it anyway...
