Clutter on win32, OSX and Linux ARM.

Submitted by mallum, posted on 15 Oct 2007 - 17:55 - 7 comments

It's looking likely the next major release of Clutter will support both windows and OSX.

Tommi Komulainen has been working on a native cocoa backend for OSX and Tomas Frydrych got clutter running on windows using the SDL backend.

Meanwhile at OH towers, we've been playing with the Clutter EGL Native (i.e. accelerated GL ES on raw Linux Framebuffer) backend on an ARM based Freescale MX31Lite kit.

The MX31 includes an MBXLite graphics accelerator of which clutter is able to use through its support of OpenGL ES.

Hey guys, I know you've been working on clutter for quite some time, but did you look at the EFL (Enlightenment Foundation Libraries) at creating rich UIs? There's a friend of mine that works on Nokia who is advocating it. Please check in

For more information. It seems like the EFL libraries are quite robust, well performing and have low footprint, allowing for the creation of rich UI interfaces.

Yeah of course we looked at EFL before - I guess two major reasons for developing something new were;

= Wanted to use GLib, GObject, Pango and giving a very GTK+ like API (as well as numerous other advantages). EFL I guess uses its own object system etc.

= Wanted a hard dependcy on a GPU with OpenGL or OpenGL ES support and not care about supporting software only rendering backends. I think this makes a difference when building from the ground up for this, rather than starting with software and then porting to also use GL (like I think is the case for EFL).

Hey there!

Once again, great job on Clutter.

I was wondering if you could answer another quick question about the Python bindings.

I would like to use the .emit() method to bounce my own custom signals, but I don't quite know what to pass the clutter.Event() constructor to make my own Events. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

@rdi: you should use the mailing list, not the blog. to compile Clutter for ARM you will need the EGLX or the EGL native backend — depending on whether you have X11 or not. as for pangocairo: there are builds for it on ARM — you should also look at Poky, our distribution.
