Quick question on wxWidgets and QNX

[Carsten A. Arnholm]

Hi,

I have just tried a free, non-commercial installation of QNX 6.5.0 (running
under VMware) and wrote a "Hello world" C++ program that worked. My question
is perhaps the obvious one: Has there been any progress lately in getting
wxWidgets running under QNX? Without knowing the details, it seems wxWidgets
would need to use QNX Photon (somewhere I saw it was claimed that Photon was
similar to GTK, but I don't know this myself).

Just curious at this stage. If something like this exists, it would be nice
to know about it.

IIRC There was an attempt underway on the QNX Foundry community web site.

Ok, thanks. From what I can find on that site, there is little/nothing
conclusive from the last year. Perhaps there isn't enough "critical
mass".

I would guess so to!

I just had another look at this, using this starting point
http://www.wxwidgets.org/docs/embedded.htm#wxmgl

It tells me to download wxWidgets via svn and read the docs/mgl/
install.txt file. I did, and it tells me to download "Scitech MGL
library" from http://www.scitechsoft.com/products/dev/wx_mgl_home.html,
but that whole site appears to be history and I can't find it
elsewhere.

End of story?

What about this:
http://www.easyfreeware.com/scitech_mgl-14446-freeware.html
http://www.softlist.net/program/scitech_mgl-download.html

...at least I can d/l "something" (not tested though...).

Hi Morten,

According to the docs/mgl/install.txt file "you need MGL version
5.0beta7 or
newer"

Both these sites offers MGL v4.05
http://www.easyfreeware.com/scitech_mgl-14446-freeware.html
http://www.softlist.net/program/scitech_mgl-download.html

you also pointed at
http://ftp.lanet.lv/ftp/mirror/x2ftp/msdos/programming/scitech/
but that stuff seems very old (~1998) and if I read it correctly it is
also
v4.05

Finding MGL version 5.0+ might be of interest, but it seems to me this
software is really no more. I could be interested to give it a try
with my
current QNX installation, but if I can't find it.....

It seems to me wxWidgets needs to use QNX Photon to work under QNX
