The problem is that EuGTK doesn't works with Gtk dll's for Windows (AFAIK) If it could, it would be easy to make a cross-platform designer. Some time ago I tried wxEuphoria but it's *too* complex to make it work among such a variety of linuxes that I switched to EuGtk. Previous versions of EuGTK/Llama 1.2, 2.0 worked under FreeBSD. FreeBSD was my main developing platform.
The idea is that the IDE shall produce both euGtk and win32lib source code for cross-platform developing. Of course, right now I'm just focusing on GNU and BSD platforms with Gtk 3.x libraries. Win32 support (under GNU/bsd) will come later. It will use the Wine compatibility layer to run OE for windows and the compiler and produce MS Windows executables or dll's. Of course, it's just a theory. I am not too much on to cross-platform programming, but I guess that the gcc compiler has such capability (cross-compiling) so maybe it would be possible to compile directly without using Wine's emulation if I had the right knowledge of gcc and cross-platform architecture.
But for the moment, euStudio just works under GNU/linux and I am working to make it run under freeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD.
I basically develop Healthcare/scientific software for GNU and Unix, but I need a good wysiwyg tool for fastest development of different projects I have in mind. In this quest to get my dream state-of-the-art IDE I started euStudio, and I hope that in a time it will became useful for the OpenEuphoria community, specially for people with linux/unix interests.
