DUI Beta Release! -- Need Testers

ImLeftFooted

Hello! Below is the release of my XML to GUI project. It uses Allegro 4.2 so you must have that installed to continue. The project ofcourse has a click and drag style GUI editor.

I need you (the reader) to download, compile and test the code base. Post the debug output of the example program along with your bug report here.

~~DOWNLOAD NOW RC 1~~
DOWNLOAD NOW RC 2.

Also vote for my project on sourceforge.

For the tech savvy, Here is a bunch of example code and screenshots:

gcc version 4.3.3 (4.3.3-tdm-1 mingw32)
Compiles fine for the C part, but in C++ I get:

g++ -Iinclude -Iinclude/dui -DALLEGRO_STATICLINK -W -Wall -Wno-unused-function -O2 -s -o obj/release/dialog.o -c src/dialog.cpp

MINGW3~1.EXE: *** [obj/release/dialog.o] Error 1

Probably my C++ headers are too old to recognize this STL. I never compile C++ usually.

After commenting out the trimming, all compiles fine including the examples.
exbasic is ... basic, and the editor seems to work though a lot of controls seem unimplemented.

ImLeftFooted

They're nearly all implemented (even complex ones like text_list and menu). It's the editor that is buggy.

Thanks for the report

edit For example: The editor is written in DUI code! 8-)

edit Those compiler errors should be fixed. Let me know if RC 2 compiles for you. RC 2 also fixes a bunch of bugs. The XML format can do all allegro widgets and most agup widgets. The editor can do the same minus text_list and menu.

Audric

RC2 compiles without warnings, and runs fine.

Ron Novy

Time to get me a DUI...

Oh wait... It's a User Interface...

Looks good...

You mean a WYSIWYG GUI editor?

ImLeftFooted

Yeah.
