Current Status

What's the status of the framework? Is there a plan to keep working on it?

I spent quite a bit of time to get it working on Windows 10 and I can report the following:

1. You need Visual Studio 2012 Express Edition to compile the code.
2. Visual C++ Redistributable 2012 needs to be installed (all those missing DLL files); VS 2013 redistributable might be necessary as well.
3. It does not work on Hyper-V VM with windows 10 installed. I don't think it is an issue, because it uses video card and Hyper-V might not expose one. (I did not want to mess with RemoteFX)
4. On VS 2017 community edition it compiles source files, but it does NOT link. I think it has to deal with lib files included and built against an older VS version. Newer version does not have some internal objects.

How does it compare to https://blogs.gnome.org/clutter/ ? If one was to add widgets to cluter, what would be the difference? I am mostly interested to compare ease of use from a "business" level application perspective, not a game.

I think all in all it is a very nice library. Very easy to follow even if I my OpenGL background is very weak.

Thanks
