I see you have a 'new' website for EuIup, http://jeremy.cowgar.com/euiup/index.html , with various changes to the library.
It seems to have windows dlls to download, but there does not seem to be Linux .so s.
Are these coming? Are they compilable from source? Is there likely to be a download 'package' for Windows and Linux (containing the libs, examples and docs).
I was just wondering because I replied to the other thread before fully checking out the new site.
Cheers
Chris

The changes are for a better, more euphoric, wrapping around the Iup library. They also were prompted due to the release of Iup 3.0. EuIup is now at version 3.3 of the Iup library. As we speak, I am converting the CD (canvas draw) methods from the old 2.x library.
As for downloads on Linux. The problem with providing a download on Linux (I've found) is that there seem to be inconsistencies on .so dependencies. For example, on a redhat box I have, the .so's work fine. On a debian box I have the .so's do not work as the .so's rely on GLIBC_3.11 (I think, or was it 2.11?) and what is on the debian box is x.17, thus the .so's failed to load.
Therefore, I am not yet sure what to do about distribution on Linux except require that the user have Iup installed by the OS's package manager or by compiling Iup themselves.
As for download packages for Windows. Yes, those will be coming. You can do it right now in 2 parts, please see: https://bitbucket.org/jcowgar/euiup/downloads ... The docs, however, need to have direct download links available in them. I just generated that site the other day. It's 100% from our eudoc and creolehtml tools, BTW. It's an example of what can be done w/source docs

Hi
Yes I found them to be a little quirky too on a Ubuntu box. I got some parts working with a version compile with GTK, and other parts working when the library was compiled without GTK (I didn't compile them myself).
Best of luck - it is a nice, simple library to have to hand. If you want any testing done on an Ubuntu box, let me know.
