Not much to say, since I've been reading function definitions, etc.  Pretty boring stuff.  Getting anything to Link, however, has been an adventure.

GCC has a few interesting "quirks": first, it doesn't automatically locate compiled objects in the search path.  Second, it doesn't automatically handle linking of dependent object files in the correct order.  The result is that you end up with hideously long link commands, and if you get your compiled units in the wrong order, ...

After spending about 3 hours on day 2 to get things working, Days 3 and 4 were pretty boring.  I'm plowing through chapter 4, which is a summary of most of the components used in wxWidgets.  I spend a LOT of my time reading through them thinking that they're just like what Delphi uses.

Based on what I'm reading, everything should work fairly well.  My biggest issue for my long-term goals is determining whether I should use wxGTK or wxX11 when I compile for my EEE PC.  ...

NaCoWriMo: Day 1

I had prepared for this day by
downloading MinGW, and installing it. I had also downloaded
wxWidgets and Boost source code in preparation. I wasn't sure if I
would be using Code::Blocks or just command-line tools, but would
wing it. Began reading, having determined I needed to read a minimum
of 20 pages per day to finish the ...

One of my favorite past-times (that I don't do as much as I'd like) is Role-Playing games. My favorite is GURPS, but I like a few others as well. I've found that there are several programs that can help with this. One is GURPS Character Sheet at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gcs-java. This is actually better than the program Steve Jackson Games produces. The others are http://sourceforge.net/projects/gametable and http://sourceforge.net/projects/rptools which provide mapping utilities that ...

This is a quick test.  I'm just thinking about the idea of a wxWidgets IDE written in wxWidgets so there could be a cross-platform development environment for doing cross-platform development.  It's a similar idea to using Java for creating Java IDEs.  I know there's wxDev-C++ out there, but that's written in Delphi, which seems kind of odd, if you think about it.
