Adding new graphic libraries is a trivial kinda line-assembly work, if you are familiar with the widget-library API. We really should fix bugs and implement missing functionality first :) Alex PS: "make xconfig" would be "make config" in our case. libh's GUI in "auto" mode will use Qt or TVision depending on DISPLAY set or not. I personally HATE Linux's way of kernel-config, because I usually tend to forget some options if I don't diff(1) config files, but we can't stop people from developing this :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-libh" in the body of the message
