1. Gtk-Server for Eu
In the effort to find a common, cross-platform GUI solution for Eu, might I
suggest to consider the GTK-Server (http://www.gtk-server.org/index.html) too?
It seems quite general and supported enough (even with glade designer) to be
a viable alternative .... IMHO.
Cheers.
MBianchi.

Now this looks cool, thanks!
3. Re: Gtk-Server for Eu
I don't need a GUI very often, but when I do I use EuWinGui (using Wine on
Linux). I've had a look at wxeuphoria, but the sheer size and complexity of it
puts me off and for my purposes it would be a sledge-hammer to crack a nut.
Now if only Andrea Cini would write a "EuLinGui"...

Maybe a self promotion, but I've always enjoyed Iup, and I've wrapped it in
Euphoria (IupEu):

From the gtk-server website:
Q: My language 'XYZ' already has a binding with GTK! Why use the GTK-server?
A: If your language already has a binding with GTK, well, use that binding!
The GTK-server primarily was designed with Shell scripts and console-based
interpreters in mind. The idea is that you do not want to hack the sourcecode
of an interpreter to achieve GUI programming. Languages like Python and Perl
already have their own bindings to GTK, so there is no need to use the
GTK-server in these cases. (The Python and Perl scripts at the examples
page are there just to demonstrate the concept.)
:end-quote
Euphoria already has GTK bindings, (<a
href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/eugtk">http://sourceforge.net/projects/eugtk</a>)
so there is no need to go through the extra work of connecting to gtk-server,
unless you really want to for the educational experience of it.

Right. My suggestion was intended only to simplify a common task like avoiding
the
need to dive into GTK bindings, using a simple standard stdin/out or TCP or else
to reach the same results. Not really an educational experience, i'd say more
the
k.i.s.s. practical (maybe wrong) way of thinking of an unexperienced programmer
like me.
BTW: If I look at Glade as a sort of GUI designer, this becomes more appealing
to me...
Anyway this was just what it is: a simple mumbling suggestion 
.

I'm not sure if Andrea is actively developing EuWinGUI anymore... I really think
wxEuphoria is what we should be focusing on for GUI programming. It's got a lot
going for it.
