X-Platforming Boost GUI
I've spent quite a bit of time getting this Boost GUI code to build anywhere, but now it builds on both OS X and W2K. I'm using XCode to build on OS X, Jamboost is working on W2K. I'm feeling like I might as well add Linux to the mix, and work toward having an early integeration across these three platforms. It would teach me a lot about Boost and bjam. -- Alan Gutierrez - alan@engrm.com

Great!

This is a good idea. Is it possible to take a look at the code, since I am currently making revisions to the rect data structure to support the new model. Regards, Reece

Ah, yes, did you get my message regarding the Subversion repository? http://engrm.com/svn/boost/trunk/gui/ If you would like to view this through SVN, I can provide you with commit access through HTTPS. I can tell you how to install Subversion on Win32, it is easy, and easy to use. I should note that I've only created a dummy platform.hpp for Carbon, so that I could get it to compile. I'll check in this dummy file. Also, I've only created an XCode project, and I've not created a Boost darwin configuration. I've not done C++ development in a long time, and I'm wrestling with getting a development environment set up. Since I'm wrestling with this anyway, I thought I'd slow down, and try and do it right as a contribution. -- Alan Gutierrez - alan@engrm.com

If you've gotten bjam running on W2K, you should very little trouble running it on Linux. I say that based on my experience; I know next to nothing about Linux (or Unix), but was able to get various jamfiles working within a very short time after installing Red Hat Linux on a spare machine. Also, so many boosters use that platform that it is really easy to get help if you need it. --Beman
