Dear Alejandro, dear Developers,
this mail is mainly for Alejandro regarding his bibview
proggy, I post it here in case other are interested in this too.
I have finally taken some time and started to learn the STL and
as an exercise I decided to give gbib a little boost.
Well - I have some questions...
First,
Do you mind me picking up this from your sources and asking you for
help once in a while ?
Is gbib-0.0.2 the latest version ?
I do have no idea what scheme is and how it works. This is what keeps
me from getting the code to work right now as I dont even have it
(guile/scheme) installed on my computer.
I do have a parser from a different project though that I've written
in C and that thing needs a face lift anyway. So I thought I'll try and
parse the bibfiles on my own. Dont know how smart that is and I'd like
to hear an opinion on this.
I do not like using large, complex libraries like KDE or Gnome as these
are almost never available on anything but Linux and that's kind of a
problem. Especially for all these old professors out there working on SGI's,
HP's and the like with nothing but Motif on it.
I do definitely like cross platform development and a toolkit I have in mind
is wxgtk/wxwindows because that has ports to Gtk/Motif and Windows and it would
allow to create binaries that are linked against Xm or Gtk.
I am not shure, havent decided as the Linux user in me keeps saying I
should learn to hack KDE... Anyway, input on this is also greatly
appreciated.
My development platform is Linux and SGI but I have access to DEC Alphas
AIXen and other Unix flavors.
I will stick with IRIX and Linux for starters and worry about the rest later.
Regards
Roland (a long time LyX user who finally decided to check out the other side)
