I'm sorry to hear that. If the plan is a general switchover to C++, I'll have to back out. I don't do C++, Java, etc. for free -- it's just not worth the aggravation.
Hell, I've just discovered that FLTK2 (r5642) won't even build with my current compiler/linker combination. Sorry, life's too short for this kind of crap.
Believe it or not, I have a similar feeling about C++, and try to avoid it as much as I can. Now, FLTK2 is a good toolkit (trying to use a small subset of C++'s bloat), and there were parts of Dillo that needed to be ported to it, but is mainly as C-ish as it was before. Although I still have to try to convince Sebastian to a smallest C++ feature set in Dw. Not much of his fault, maybe he didn't have an option, with C++ you have the curse of templates. -- Cheers Jorge.-
