tring to write a new GDK for OS4

Can you help me?

I'm looking for GDK examples, tutorials and demos, I'm tring to write a new GDK for OS4, GDK wrapper for GTK, this what makes GTK work on Windows or Linux.

Note I'm NOT looking GTK stuff, only GDK.

I need the examples and tutorials to test if the code I'm going to write works or not.

On this are the topics I'm looking for:

GdkDisplay
GdkDisplayManager
GdkScreen
Points, Rectangles and Regions
Graphics Contexts
Drawing Primitives
Bitmaps and Pixmaps
GdkRGB
Images
Pixbufs
Colormaps and Colors
Visuals
Fonts
Cursors
Windows
Events
Event Structures
Key Values
Selections
Drag and Drop
Properties and Atoms
Threads
Input
Input Devices
Pango Interaction
Cairo Interaction

About time lazy boy

I can't help but wish you the best of luck.

If I understand, you want to port / implement GDK to compile the original GTK with a native GDK. I am not an expert (even if I tried to understand how to wrap GTK cleanly) but :
- GTK does not only depend on GDK (but you know that because you are talking about Pango and Cairo interaction)
- Gadgets are managed by the GTK layer and I am not sure about the result : in my opinion it will be necessary to change some parts of GTK too

GTK is a hard but interesting topic. Maybe I will have a look on it again.

@corto

GTK depends on GDK, Pango

Pango depends on GLIB, FreeType (and some X11 stuff)
I think its is the font system for GTK.

GDK depends on GLIB, and X11 or Win32

GDK is wrapper or the OS glue code, skipping GDK you make the mistake of need to rewrite every thing in GTK, so that's not good idea.

Once GLIB and GDK is in place GTK should compile more or less whit out modification, it might be possible to drop pango on the initial port.

Made any progress?

I don't really know where I'm at yet, because I need some test programs.

but this are modules that I'm compiling.

# -- ok --

mods = General Display DisplayManager
mods += gdkdnd
mods += gdkrgb
mods += gdkimage
mods += gdkcolor
mods += gdkcursor
mods += gdkevents
mods += gdkwindow
mods += gdkrectangle
mods += gdkaliasdef
mods += gdkregion-generic
mods += gdkpixmap
mods += gdkselection
mods += gdkfont
mods += gdkglobals
mods += gdkvisual
mods += gdkkeyuni

# -- porting --

mods += gdkscreen
mods += gdkdraw
mods += gdkpixbuf-drawable
mods += gdkpixbuf-render

# -- problems --

mods += gdk
mods += gdkkeys
mods += gdkmedialib
mods += gdkkeynames
mods += gdkpolyreg-generic
mods += gdkenumtypes
mods += gdkcairo
mods += gdkgc
mods += gdkpango

Have you seen the GDK stuff here? It's old but I stumbled across it the other day.
