Your discussion about porting Octal to FreeBSD made me remember that David
O'Toole once wrote about porting to Windows 2000 and my intentions of porting
the GUI from gtk+ to wxWindows. As I'm quite new to programming I have some
(probably stupid) questions about this issue. How much complicated could be the
porting? I noticed in octal files some #include files, like <pthread.h>
for example, and I was wondering how to substitute them when compiling with MS
Visual C++ 4.0 for Windows 95. How many gtk+ specific (or even custom) widgets
will Octal have? (I'm trying to valuate how much work will require to write new
widgets for wxWindows). Anyhow I think it is better to wait till octal reaches a
more mature version, also because I hope that will come the time when
Windows users will want to switch to GNU/Linux to use Octal (as I am doing).
Or is it better for Octal always to stay in a _free_ OS?
Best regards,
