Cross platform toolkits - wxEu and eugtk.

Agreed. But, This topic has plagued this community for a very long time. Honestly, this topic deserves the attention of a strike team. 3 OpenEuphoria volunteers voted in to decide:

  • What toolkit to include with OpenEuphoira
  • What IDE should be included with OpenEuphoria
  • How to make sure that the official toolkit and IDE will work on each platform it's is installed on.

Why 3 and not all? Because years have gone by and as a community this has not been decided on yet. There will be heated debates and long conversations and finally the decision to not include anything will likely again emerge. 3 people have a better chance at making something happen. Those of us that are not part of the strike team will need to accept that not everyone can be happy about the outcome of this decision. I wish we could compare ourselves to Lazarus Project. But we need to start from where we are now.

What if we cant pick a toolkit... even if we reduce the number of people that can influence the decision?

That's a sad day for OpenEuphoria. But in the event that it can't be done, a very distant second best option might be to officially adopt a 3rd party IDE by creating plugins, syntax files, etc.

Just a thought.
