[Chicken-users] Qt & Smoke

[Andrei Barbu]

Hi,

There seemed to be some interest in the Qt egg and especially smoke.
It's fairly clear that it's pointless to make bindings by hand for
invoking member functions and constructors of Qt classes, and it's
going to be way more effort to build and maintain them than anyone is
willing to put in.

I've been playing with the beginnings of a smoke egg, to augment not
replace the Qt egg, although at the moment there is no integration
between the two.
Quite a bit of the foundation has been laid and really simple function
calls like QApplication::aboutQt work.

You can find the code at http://0xab.com/code/smoke.git and clone it
from http://0xab.com/repos/smoke.git

Last time around there seemed to be people interested in helping, I
don't have a lot of time to keep developing this in the short term,
but I'd be happy to accept contributions. Note that it's really rough,
there is quite a bit of breakage, and little thought has been put into
the design, but the annoying low-level things needed to get started
are in place.
