Yep. Although there are compilers for pretty much anything - it might be useful.

I dont code much myself but it doesnt sound like a good idea to base a cockpit on a piece of code that is not being developed anymore, and the source is not available.

Now that I think about it - I wonder if SDL could be used for gauges.. and I wonder how hard that is to use.. I remember frozen-bubble game is written in sdl-perl..

Oh yep, I'm the Gnome icon guy.

SDL shouldn't be a problem, really. But as far as I understood it, this piece of software doesn't need OpenGL/DirectX so you could actually run it on much older and non-accelerated graphics machines. This makes it particularly interesting.

There are tons of Glass Cockpit/Gauge Software packages. But nearly all need OpenGL. If you wanna look at a Opensource solution that uses OpenGL, you might want to have a look at OpenGC (www.opengc.org) runs on Win and Unix, can connect to FSUIPC and Xplane and Flightgear.

I have been working on a glass cockpit software that directly uses X11 for graphics. That way you can use old 486's for the displays. I'll probably get back to working on it the next weeks.
