As you may know CopperSpice is a derivative project of Qt. They diverged over time but their origins are similar. Let me summarize some of the missing details. (1) Libraries like MFC and WxWidgets will draw objects using native calls. Libraries like CopperSpice use custom drawing which is more flexi...

Do I understand correctly that there is no possibility to migrate our complete code including the MFC application to CopperSpice? It would be good if there was a possibility of a smooth transition: We would like to be able to compile our complete source code in the CopperSpice application. MFC is a...

(1) was only being done internally on x86 derived platforms. It was not done internally on hardware that natively uses 1's complement. This change breaks platform support and will eventually be undone. We understand your concerns about this issue and thank you for bringing them up. We talked with s...

Werner, Thank you for reaching out to our team. We are looking forward to working with you and your company. I have migrated an application from MFC to use the CopperSpice libraries. All of the GUI windows had to be re-implemented and there are two ways to do this. I choose to use our CsDesigner pro...

We would like to ask our CopperSpice users for feedback about moving from C++17 to C++20. This is a change we are going to make at some point, the question is simply when.

Thank you for reporting this issue. Having all the details was fantastic. We will have someone on the team investigate.

Thanks for submitting such a detailed report. It turns out a CopperSpice team member discovered this a few weeks ago. It only occurs on platforms using libc++ which affected us on Mac OS X and FreeBSD. The correction made it through CI and was pushed to github. If you build CopperSpice from the late...

The last time I looked at BSD (a while back) I noticed that CS had been packaged . . . I believe you meant to say FreeBSD which is a platform while BSD is a software license. Someone did add CopperSpice to FreeBSD but they modified our build files without discussing their changes. Sadly this build ...

Just so you know, adding CS to the Debian repository is not practical. We do not guarantee ABI stability for minor version updates. This would be an issue for the maintainers of Debian. Can you let us know us what issue would be solved by having CS in Debian? Maybe we can address your concern in som...

Not sure if you have seen our CopperSpice Journal. It consists of several articles and 40 different examples. We have an article which provides a full explanation about how to build CS on every supported platform. There are also other ones which explain the basic CMake commands required to build an ...
