Hi!
It is done!
The new style engine for ParaGUI is up and running!
It’s now possible to define the look of the widgets
from an external XML configuration file.
The integration of the style-engine proceeded faster than i could
believe. So I decided to skip the 0.5.x branch and to continue with
0.6.x.
Changes:
- added new style-engine (themes)
- added XML configuration (based on expat)
- API cleanup (e.g. all drawing funcs are now in SDLDrawObject)
- many many bug fixes

Hello,
I just downloaded 0.6.0 today and tried installing it from BeOS. I got as
far as the check for SDL_ttf.h in configure. SDL_ttf.h is in my path, but
configure complains that it can’t find the file. Any thoughts?

Hi Darren!
Could you please post the output of “configure”.
Where are exactly SDL_ttf.h and SDL.h located?
Did you use ./configure --prefix=xxxx ?

I didn’t specify a prefix for configure. SDL_ttf.h and SDL.h are both in
/boot/develop/tools/gnupro/include/SDL/. Hmm… I wonder if my sdl-config
is wrong? Going to check that now.----------------------------------------------------------------------

The explicit prefix didn’t help (same error). 
Does configure expect
SDL_ttf.h to contain certain text, or does it just have to exist?
My knowledge of shell scripting is extremely meager, so to save guessing
I’m going to present this problem to someone who knows a lot more about it
than I do. I’ll post again tonight to let you know if we discover anything
else. It sounds like it’s just some error on my part.
Thanks for your time.
After some mucking around in paragui configure, it looks like the compile
include parameters are missing. Hacking an explicit
"-I/boot/develop/tools/gnupro" into the script allowed us to complete the
configuration. The subsequent make compiled fine, but didn’t link (no SDL
symbols). So, this leads us to believe that the script isn’t actually
using the information it gets from sdl-config.
Am I close to the mark, or completely off it?

Well, I dont know if you’re close or far of the mark
But, it would really help if you would post the log (again)
Does it fail to link SDL or SDL_ttf ?
Did you try to compile the SDL sample apps (test dir) ?
Usually the configure script (till now :)) honours the
information given by sdl-config!
Maybe we should continue the discussion on the ParaGUI
mailing list.
Please post the compile log
Alex
