[Radiance-dev] Radiance cross-platform issues & GUIs, oh my!

Hi,

Not sure if that's the best way to go, although I didn't look deep into
the code yet, I could imagine that it would make sense to create one (or
probaly several) shared libraries, which could be used instead of
embedding commands.

if you're looking for c++, platform-compatible toolkits, I'd suggest to
use QT4 instead of wxwidgets. QT4 is nice to work with, and more
important, it has - in my opinion - a much more reliable upstream and
less bugs than wx. QT4 supports all important platforms - including OSX
and Windows, and supports OpenGL out of the box.


Cheers,

Bernd
