I posted about this port on the FLTK forum:

This is awesome. Last I looked at FLTK, there was a Python wrapper too (pyFLTK - http://pyfltk.sourceforge.net/). Since we have a port of Python on OS4 as well, how hard would it be to get this functional? Writing GUI apps in Python simply rocks, and allows a MUCH larger audience to get involved (no need to know any C++).

Looking at screenshots it seems Amiga FLTK port does not use ReAction gadgets, but renders GUI elements itself. I must admit I consider it breaking the system look and feel. Pushing an alien GUI engine into an OS is always wrong thing. Users will be confused if FLTK apps do not react on ReAction settings and well, someone should say it, FLTK look presented on the second screenshot resembles Linux desktop from 1995. Allpications ports gained by porting this GUI, may be worth the effort, but it is done at the price of desintegrating the OS look.

Excellent work, hopefully we'll get some nice apps ported on the back of this. Unfortunately all the demos get me DSI exceptions on my MicroA1

@Krashan

I think the Mac OS X version is using native objects, atleast i read that somewhere, so in this initial phase it can be as it is, when porting stuff, but we (the amiga community) can change the source and
replace objects to native Reaction ones at a slower pace, the important is that the main port is done i think.

Because when i use wxWidgets @ work, we have native objects on all platforms and that is sweet. And since it works in a similar fashion as FLTK does, it must be possible to replace objects when given more time to work with it.

So i dont think that is any problem.

Same here .

@salass00

There are new archives waiting to be published on OS4Depot, these will solve the problem reported.

Works very well now. Keep up the good work !

Nevermind, got help from Olaf Barthel, but now I seem to have a c++ problem ;/

I'm surprised that there hasn't been much interest in porting good applications from other platforms to OS4 using FLTK. I've found a really nice spreadsheet here: http://nab.pcug.org.au/

It's called simply sprsht1.2.2. Complete source (Window and Linux binaries too) is included and it has a configurable GUI. The only dependency is FLTK. I sold my PegII about 18 months ago or I'd take a stab at porting this to OS4 using Massimiliano's FLTK library. Is anybody here willing to take this on? I've looked over the source code and I don't think it would take more than a few hours to have a working OS4 binary.
