just realized there's a windows build now. Give it a try :P

I'm not going to spend my time keeping up with the latest version Gtk just for one app I may not like. Guy needs to design for Windows, then Port to Linux. Or simply a Windows app Linux can run easily.

Try checking the Windows Development section for simple gtk installs.

gtk's meant to be portable that way

What is Gtk?

CheapAlert

it's a gui library, short for Gimp ToolKit. Basically provides button, menu and other ui functionality, designed to be cross-platform.

No way... he is doing it exactly the right way

But I guess gtk could be linked staticly for all those poor folks that still have to struggle with windows

thomasp

the right way as in "rely on lots of dependencies" kinda thing? yeh, that's linux. i dunno but i prefer the easy way
yes, static links please.

i hate dependencies that possibly break other apps. number one reason why linux was kicked from my machines each and every time i tried to give it another chance.
where windows used to have the dll-hell, unix systems like to torture with dependency hell. i know, i installed KDE on an SGI. KDE and 20345456454 silly separate libraries. poor me

I don't want to start an OS war. I like Linux. I like Mac. I like what they're about. I'm frustrated with Windows, and will not upgrade to Vista. But for now, I'm stuck with XP.

I simply don't want to deal with keeping libraries installed and up to date for only a handful of apps. Even worse when one app is dependent on one library, while another is dependent on a different port of that same library. The Dark Ages of PC functionality should be fading.

heh no one complains about the need to update their DirectX and .net framework libraries. I wonder why

KDR_11k

That's because the last time I've had to update those was three years ago.

CheapAlert

at least there's no reboot for gtk.

JKMakowka

Well on Linux/Debian aptget does it all automaticly so these dependancys are nothing to worry about.

If their gallery is any indication of the level of quality that can be achieved in this program, I'm definitly going to pass on it.

Any testmodel made, anyone? I've not played with it yet but I'm curious to see something done with it.

Is that thing actually running? I see loads of crash reports on their forums.

If there's one thing I can say about the app is the UI is more direct to the point for 3D sculpting than Zbrush, though we know the reasons behind that. Cheap, import a gargoyle model and sculpt on that. That would be tons more enticing than that sphere you have.

Are you using a tablet? Because that sculpt looks unacceptably chunky.

The crap is this. I've fetched the 2 gtk libs they list as necessary, installed them, yet SC still won't install because of some gtk thing missing.

Couldn't they release a complete package? I doubt that winxp users are familiar with these things anyways.
