Hi, ALL,
Is there a plan to put the dll sample on non-Windows platform?

Or the user code should use wxDynamicLibrary with ifdef'ing?

Thank you.

Not really. The main purpose of this sample is to show how to integrate a
program using the standard MSW message loop with a DLL using wxWidgets.
Under Unix there is no standard message loop, the main program could use
GTK+ or it could use Qt or it could use something else or it could use
select() or poll() explicitly. So I don't know what would such sample show.

Regards,
VZ

Vadim,
It will show how to make the dll work with those.
Not everybody are familiar with GTK+ (or Linux programming in general).

Moreover, select/poll is not really trivial.

So at the very least showing something with GTK+ might be useful.

Thank you.
