let things calm down a bit. apologies about the mistakes, i was a bit
upset by what you wrote. that's for me to deal with, but... all the
same - sorry for the consequences.
yeah i am not particularly enamoured with gobject either. its
dependence on glib, which is supposed to be platform-independent, is a
bit... eugh.
i've been looking around at the alternatives (the embedded
alternatives, which stand a chance of being smaller and designed for
the job). they all require c++ with one exception: the phillips / nxp
common object model (again "inspired by" COM). unfortunately, its
bloody compiler nxpidl appears to only be available from phillips,
directly. arse.
so i am going to persist with trying to get tangramCOM up-and-running.
when you get right down to the basics, it's *not* heavy-weight, does
*not* require large amounts of win32 code, and the design is supposed
to be completely independent of OLE[32] so doesn't need _that_
heap-o-junk dragged in.
... i may be some time.... but that's ok because you're about a year
off of tackling this anyway.
/peace.
