Re: ANN: PikoPixel pixel-art editor

[Fred Kiefer]

Hi Josh,

thank you very much for porting this great code over to GNUstep.

I am at the moment trying to get it running on gcc with the gcc objc
runtime. I know this isn't the supported constellation, but I would like
to at least understand what features are missing in this setup.

I parallel I am digging through your GNUstep specific changes. I already
found the NSMatrix additions and the cairo non-anti-alias stuff. I am
going to add code into GNustep that supports this to make specific
additions for GNUstep unnecessary. In theory it should be possible to
just reuse your Cocoa code on GNUstep. Where this isn't possible, please
file a bug report against GNUstep, preferable with an attached patch.

Once again thank you and I will keep you updated on my progress.

Cheers,
Fred
