Hello
Since Opendcl runs under Bricscad and Bricscad runs under Linux:
An Opendcl under Linux is it planed ?
Thanks

It certainly is a goal to eventually support Bricscad on Linux, but not in the near future. The problem is that OpenDCL UI elements are based on MFC and very heavily reliant on Windows behavior that is not easily emulated.

Thanks Owen !

It would be nice if in the near future OpenDCL was compatible with Bricscad for Linux and Bricscad for Mac  :)
I hope that this will happen soon  :)

I don't see any newer posts relative to Linux.  Since Bricscad for Linux is reasonably mature is there any current plan for OpenDCL for Linux?  With the privacy and update issues with Windows 10 I am considering moving my office to Linux.  Changing out in-house utilities from OpenDCL to simple DCL would not be easy.

At this time there have not been any new developments. Linux support will likely require a wholesale switch from MFC to wxWidgets or QT, and this is no small undertaking. It's theoretically possible for Bricsys to expose an MFC-like interface to the WxWidgets backbone, but I think this is unlikely.

tHANKS FOR THE UPDATE.
