From what I gather its a reallly a clone of there delphi product for linux. Its being blled as a c++/delphi compiler/ide with vxl and some sort of common linux gui lib that will unify the c++/delph/windows/linux gui end of it. You should be able to even port you existing delphi stuff by some simple changes and re compiling it but donet hold me to that. Its a real visualy based component based gui ide thats very similar to visual basic but built on pascal and its newer object orientated visual pascal thats used in delphi. A stricly typed language with a realy robust visual component lib and roaring third party of cvisual componennts that run the whole gammet. Knocks tha pants of of vb and used a real programming languuage as opesd to basic/visualbasic.
Ie you select several components and drop them on a form/window than hook them all up vial the propery editer. Then you can compile/test it. You can even go backi and edit the actual source code , change it th3en go back and forth beetween the gui ide and actual editing of the code. Realy back anbd forth betwween the two. the visual toold note all the changes made while editing and respond to them just the same as if you sed the visual tools to do them. Not like the old tools wherenonce you touched the source code you could never return to the gui tools. Its a real slick RAD product that is real prouductive even to neofight new / begioner programers. I used delphi and REALY miss the product on linux. I looked into there jbuilder/java ide wich is real similar but have foun that its slow and need a lot of horse power to run the ide even on linux. I am still using an amd K6 350 w 256 meg ram and occasioanly use my P266 with 96 meg ram , and jbuilder is slow and slugish on the amd K^ and real bitch to use on the portable. runs real slowwww on that to piont that its almost unusabale unless you realy need to do the work off sight. I dont use it ofton and have since been looking at python. See my previuos post on pyhton if your interested in that. At 10:19 AM 1/4/2001 -0500, Damon Register wrote:
Glade is great for developing GTK/Gnome apps... If the original poster has in mind the same thing I do, then I think

Having to use containers for controls doesn't seem to give much freedom. Borlad is working on the Kylix project that sounds pretty good to me but I still don't know much about it except that it isn't released yet.
Anyway, isn't Glade just for developing GUI dialogs rather than for program developement? If this is the case, Glade isn't an alternate for Kdevelop but instead is a companion tool that can be used with Kdevelop.
The only thing I know about Borland's Kylix is what I am reading at http://www.borland.com/kylix/ I hope this helps.
