Peter,
I would like to learn some C programming so I can understand how GTK
Server works, and perhaps contribute to your efforts.
I purchased Sams "Teach Yourself C in 21 Days", and I'm getting ready
to dive in.
I had a couple of brief questions for you before I get started.
(1) Do you work on Linux or Windows? Or do you work with both?
(2) What compiler do you use?
(3) If I wanted to get set up for some programming with C and GTK on
Windows, would you be able to give me some pointers, or do you only
deal with GTK on Linux?
I checked out Tor's page, but it was a little intimidating, and the
other GTK Page at dropline.net doesn't look like it is being
maintained anymore. I'm not running on Linux. (Not yet anyways, but
hopefully soon.)
I was thinking of using Bloodshed Dev C++ for my IDE, or the CDT
Extension for Eclipse.
What are your thoughts?
Landon
