For example, if someone were interested in attempting to port Balsa to Android, would that code be of any use, or would it require a fresh start? (Although I do have an interest, I have no experience with developing for Android, so I don't know how much of the code needs to be different from the base Linux/Posix code.)
There seems to be something like a Gtk/Android port [1], but apparently in a very early state ("0.1alpha
version").
The touch-ui effort began inn 2004; see the threads <URL:https://mail.gnome.org/archives/balsa-list/2004-June/msg00063.html> and <URL:https://mail.gnome.org/archives/balsa-list/2004-July/msg00096.html>. My guess is that the target devices would be quite different now, and a fresh start would be needed.
Agree. Apart from that, the 2004 code was written for Gtk2, not Gtk3, which would require lots of
modifications anyway.
Peter, I fully agree with you and also vote for cleaning those parts!
Related to that, I added support for Mac OS X ages ago ("HAVE_MACOSX_DESKTOP"). I must admit that I didn't
try it again for almost the same time... However, Gtk/Mac seems to be actively supported [2]. I will look into that.
Cheers,
Albrecht.
