[uae] Re: euae-qt

no worries there,

e-uae has several frontends available
it is just a matter of choosing which one you want to use
currently the following gui's are found in e-uae's code, dont know if they all work (some are remains of uae) 
- gui-beos
- gui-cocoa
- gui-gtk (current one)
- gui-muirexx
- gui-none
- gui-qt (which i just added)
so yes, e-uae can be built without qt/ gnome, just do a ./configure with the right parameters in fact i like the current design of uae allowing different frontends, it seems that winuae doesn't have that anymore . OOP would be even better, but that's not a task i would be willing to take :-)
Drummond: i'm wondering, are there any plans of integrating winuae and e-uae (keeping winuae advanced features separate of course) ? so uae core changes would be benefetial for both windows and linux. don't know anything about it, so don't shoot me if i'm talking nonsense :)

so on the fly configuration should become easy, still a lot to do of course, for those interested in the communication with the uae core 
it is a mix of a fifo pipe and callback gui_* functions,
while winuae has switched from fifo pipes to named pipes
Drummond: perhaps this project can get a place in the e-uae sourceforge repositry ? so it's easier for people to help 

Has it been written in such a way that it can easily be built without QT (or 
Gnome?)

If not, then I'd prefer it have it's own separate section, just like Hi-Toro is 
a separate project.  Hi-Toro, which is a wonderful tool, isn't written for 
anything but osX.  QT doesn't exist on MorphOS or AmigaOS, BEos, or osX.  (Ok 
it's available for osX but that's just silly, installing QT as a toolkit when 
you've got the wonderful system gadgets already.)

So while I applaud your getting it moving, I'd say unless it can be easily 
integrated into all systems e-uae supports, keep it separate.  Nothing wrong 
with mentioning it in the dox or on the e-uae page, but don't risk accidentally 
causing someone to think that this is required for e-uae core functionality.
