ParaGUI
« on: November 13, 2004, 06:30:57 AM »
Has anybody got ParaGUI to work under Linux on the AmigaOne or Pegasos?  I think it would be really handy to have a multiplatform compliant GUI utility around... :-D

I haven't a PPC to test with, but most Linux already come with GTK, Qt and more.
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

I've looked at QT but it looks like it would be a bear to port to AmigaOS.  ParaGUI, on the other hand, uses SDL for its graphics engine.  It should be much easier to port.  Nonetheless it would be nice to see a port of GTK on the Amiga.

-edit-
There doesn't seem to be much activity here however.

There's nothing to stop a Qt port to MorphOS or AmigaOS; the basic class structure, would translate VERY easily to a BOOPSI-based (method/dispatch) and Exec Device (commands via DoIO()) framework. Qt bears a good resemblence to MUI enough to even layer on top of that.

What you'd get on Qt however is a complete loss of some of the more advanced features; MIME clipboards and so on.

I don't know how many Qt applications rely on them, you would have to find an app to port as a test :)

@Abraxis

There's a rapid application development software package available for Qt called LavaPE that I'd like to see on Amiga sometime but it's nowhere near as complete as I'd like...

-edit-
What do you think of the Q Public Licence?
