Have you seen my "thoughts on a GUI library" thread? It is still early days so I would appreciate any feedback. I am continuing to work on i and now support code like:
gui::area client; ::GetClientRect( *this, client.native()); // ...
to allow interoperability between areas, positions, sizes and their natiive OS representations.
I will take a look at it soon.
Does this work for Boost.Build (v2) projects? I would like an IDE that
Nope, it does not work with Boost.Build, because its Cross Builder's grammar and concepts are quite different. For instance, you can have per-directory/file settings, which I don't think it's possible for Boost.build. I guess, if there's interest, I could make it possible to output some sort of .jam file. Cross Builder's purpose is to - be able to configure compiler settings as easy as possible (whereever you wish, in the directory hierarchy) - be very flexible - make it very easy to build projects, with whatever compilers you wish
allows you to manage a project written using Boost.Build2 that allows you to configure user-config.jam and the location of the Boost distribution.
I have written a utility program based on process_jam_log.cpp to output XML instead of HTML so it can be rendered using a stylesheet or manipulated. I would like to hook this into an IDE that is Boost-aware/orientated.
If you can think of this as a compiler (that is, you have source files, which you compile into object files, which then you link together), then I guess it could be hooked into Cross Builder.
