=== PLIB/PUI (legacy GUI) === | === PLIB/PUI (legacy GUI) === | ||
Up to now - only a simple replacement for the Mac Launcher has been introduced (and enabled by default only on OSX). This is not related to the internal user interface of FlightGear (which is mainly based on PUI and increasingly Canvas these days), at least for now<ref>http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?p=229563#p229563</ref>. | |||
However, the goal is to make an '''optional''' Qt dependency to replace PLIB PUI. | |||
Except of course PUI will have to remain for some awkward use cases in the short term (aircraft dialogs, potentially). When compiled without Qt support, you’ll get a fully functional FG (i.e., '''Qt will never be a requirement to build FG'''), but without the GUI functions – which is indeed what some people want anyway (e.g., in some home cockpit setups). | |||
Expect to see a test branch in Git in the next month or so, and hopefully something usable for 3.6. The PLIB code will remain so hopefully it can be a gradual transition<ref name="a">http://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/33245028/</ref>. | Expect to see a test branch in Git in the next month or so, and hopefully something usable for 3.6.
