Re: [Gnash-dev] Flash on the Ipad

[Ashley Reid]

SDL implements the uikit, so would not that be reinventing the wheel? And the rest of gnash is compiled with SDL, so would not there be conflicts when taking this out? I already used the same uikit implementation in SDL for the standalone  app (built from untouched code in the gnash gui). This uses SDL_uikitopenglview which has a ECALayer. The framebuffer is accessed indirectly from openglES. In the end manually doing this may be the only way.

"This is the work, if you need my help i can make it without problems,
just need to be able to build it here on osx with AGG backend."

I can provide you with the gnash binaries with AGG backend and you can compile against those.

"AGL backend surface" - do you mean AGG backend surface? There is no AGL (carbon) on iphone, as far as I know.

What you need to do is take out everything about SDL and replace it
with the uikit.

Actually the work to be done is translate the AGL backend surface to a
CALayer surface, then draw it as the sample plugin from steve does.

This is the work, if you need my help i can make it without problems,
just need to be able to build it here on osx with AGG backend.

In my sample files i've sent you a null uikit gui, this is the start
point as you need to build a null gui, because in the production
environment you will already have another gui (the mobile safari).
