Hi,
any chance of coding GNUstep's WebKit and WebView in a way that would
allow
using it on MacOS X as well?
Well, this should not be a problem. But GNUstep's WebView/Kit is (will
be) API
compatible with Apple WebKit so I think you're better of with using
Apples WebKit on
MacOS X and GNUstep WebKit on GNUstep.
Of course while it uses WebCore, the Mac folks won't show much
interest, but
once it supports other backends that may change. I guess just naming
it
GSWebView and #defining that to WebView and similar tricks would be
all
that's needed.
That's a point, indeed. I'll keep this in mind.
Oh, and BTW, have you thought about contacting the OmniWeb folks?
They've
open sourced stuff before, and the current version of OmniWeb AFAIK
uses
WebCore under the hood as well (not Webkit, they're behind a couple
of
versions, so they can't be using WebKit), maybe they'd be interested
in some
sort of collaboration.
The stuff 'open sourced' by OmniGroup has a license that is is very
incompatible
with GPL/LGPL/whatever. And yes, I think they're using WebCore
directly. This also
gives them more flexibility (compared to if they would use WebKit).
Maybe we can
convince them to port OmniWeb to GNUstep once WebCore runs fine there
:-) (OmniWeb
5 is really cool). I could write them a mail and tell them that there
is GNUstep WebKit/WebCore
on the way, but I'm not sure if they are interested.
