I have been given approval to submit a modified version of Wine's DirectDraw
headers to the Cygwin project. Accordingly, my to do list is now as
follows:
1) Prepare Wine's DirectDraw headers for submission to Cygwin
2) Submit Wine's DirectDraw headers to Cygwin
3) Prepare Development Framework Release 2
4) Announce Development Framework Release 2
5) Massage the DFR 1 online announcement into an initial Cygwin/XFree86
Contributer's Guide
6) Wait for other developers to get involved :)
It may be up to a week before I release DFR 2. As originally stated, DFR 2
will enable both Windows GDI and DirectDraw functions to be called directly
from XWin.exe; all of this will compile with gcc under Cygwin. I have
already been successfully compiling XWin.exe with Windows GDI and DirectDraw
calls; DFR 2 is essentially a cleanup of my personal code so that it may be
used by other contributers.
I'll keep everyone posted,
Harold
