GTK or FLTK scripting in PiCore
« on: March 07, 2015, 08:09:45 AM »
Do we have any GUI GTK or FLTK scripring support in PiCore ?
We will be very happy to see GTK-Server, Lua FLTK or even GTK Dialogs

For now we stuck with TCL/TK only :(

PiCore is a wonderfull thing. It's the fastest way to deploy embeded projects, but when comes to GUI scripting......well we must do better then TK libs :)

You can build packages if something is missing. User contribution welcomed :)

Am I the only one glad to see Tcl/TK support? How about an official bump up to 8.6?

8.6 update broke many applications in 5.x so we rolled back to 8.5 It was  not tested in current environment yet.

Some people are good in building packages, some in using them. I'm from second type :)
I'm just a happy Linux user. No enogh skill to compile packages.

I like TCL/TK also, but why not have a second GUI scripting languages. The more the better :)
Lua and Python are not bad in GUI scripting.

In fact if we have GTK-server, we can script in any languages. GTK-Server supports Shell, Lua, Python, GO, TCL  ....anything

What the difference between gtk-server and all other GUI dialogs?
1. Xdialog, yad, zenity, are more or less the same thing - they are all single-shot GUI dialog maker - display a dialog, user clicks something, close dialog and return values.
2. gtkdialog is much more flexible - it builds and runs the GUI. It responds to user interaction with GUI - either by executing internal actions, or calling external programs. It only quits then told to quit.
3. gtk-server is very much like gtkdialog - except, one has full access to entire GTK+ functions. The other difference is that the GUI component and the actual application code is totally separate, they are not inter-mixed as in gtkdialog.

So we a looking for The Man to build at least  GTK-Server for us.
Who is The Man? :)

I'm a modest man. QT is another parallel universe. :)
