 Gallium Library

Authors:

Abstract:

 Gallium is intended to provide a free (licensed under the GNU LGPL*),
 portable and API-compatible Carbon** library for the X Window System.

Objectives:

 It shall bring to the Macintosh community  of software developers the
 possibility to port their Mac OS (8/9/X) applications to the de facto
 standard windowing environment of the GNU system. Gallium will act as
 a good citizen towards the rest of the community  by building bridges
 between the library and some other complementary GNU packages such as
 GNUstep (free OpenStep/Cocoa** implementation) and Quesa (QuickDraw**
 compatible library).

 The first objective is to build  an API skeleton supporting the basic
 (graphics) and low-level (system) functionalities.

 Later, the library will bring the human interface toolkit and various
 portable multimedia capabilities to the X Window System.
