Alex,
Any pro/cons on Raspbian vs Ubuntu Mate for Raspberry PI 2 ?

thanks for the heads-up
however, I am wondering if doing an update - upgrade will upgrade my system to the newest aps and system files, probably not.

Hi James

Had to think for a while , I have a tendency to avoid bated questions .

Well, deskstops / window managers and distro's

Most of these are a matter of choice , free to down load and free to try.

If One likes what they have , then so be it.

one question before I go.

frome where you sit.

have U tried these demo's to see what the Raspi can do

A link to Raspberry Pi Resources..
www.raspberrypi.org/resources/

look for DEMO PROGRAMS near the bottom of the page

+ if can run the demo's then see how the teapot is wraped with full motion video

Suppose It may reveal a Gap in Computer Literacy at the end user level , missing for possibly a Generation.

Alex,
This is the only experience I had with raspian.

I now have a new Translator that only needs glib so I thought I might give raspbian another try.
I do like Ubuntu MATE though as it is the distro I run on one of my machines.

Hi James

looking at

sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev
sudo apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-dev

On Raspian , wx widget are 2*

libwxgtk2.8-0
libwxgtk2.8-dev

other than that ,

if new converter base = C++ , everything should be fine , here assuming U done your homework + it works in Ubuntu . 'see last line'

If problem with getting the VC/ demos up and working I posted a solution on the Bacon/Raspi trouble shooting thread
The raspberry pi sdc canvas main lib also contains the fix for both GCC Bacon wise and for C++ and specific to C++.

All assuming the new converter works on Raspi Ubuntu Mate,

ADDED::

not sure but feel sure U know how to interface directly with gtk but posting this anyway. also since
I as meaning me , hates gtkmm , suppose they meant something by the mm = - - and not ++.

if need access to gtk

EG:
extern "C" {

extern long gtk_window_new(int) ;
extern long g_signal_connect_data (long, const char *,void*,long,long,int) ;
}

To get 'g_signal_connect_data' working macro it like so or what ever name u want for it.


#define Callback(arg1,arg2,arg3) g_signal_connect_data(arg1,arg2,(void*)arg3,0,0,0)
