[Gnash-dev] GUI library status

[Bastiaan Jacques]

Hi,

This is a status update for the GUI (frontend) library which currently lives 
in gui/ (but isn't yet enabled). Currently GTK and SDL frontends have been 
implemented (with both OpenGL and Cairo backends) and are working nicely [1]. 
Keyboard events are not yet implemented in the SDL frontend. The port of 
gnash.cpp is almost complete; only the -f commandline option and the XML 
server listener aren't yet implemented.

When these remaining issues are fixed the GUI library should be functionally 
equivalent to what we currently have in backend/gnash.cpp, and I'll be 
looking to deprecate the backend/gnash.cpp in favour of the new one in gui/.

After that switch has been made, we can start thinking about nifty things such 
as implementing FLTK and QT backends.

If you'd like to try the GUI library now, you'll require the patch attached to 
this message.

[1] The firefox plugin with SDL frontend doesn't work, and I'm not sure why.
