Fudgets

Distribution

Fudgets was mostly developed in 1991-1996. After that, only maintenance work and some minor additions have been made.

As a GUI toolkit, Fudgets is built on top of Xlib from the X11 Window system, which means it works best on GNU/Linux and other Unix-like system that use the X11 Window system natively. Fudgets can be used on other systems as long as there is some X11 compatibility layer. For example, you can compile and use Fudgets on macOS if you install XQuartz.

Current version (June 2023)

The most recent snapshot of the source code is fudgets-0.18.4.tar.gz (which is a Cabal package and also available via hackage). Some notes about this snapshot:

• Tested with 14 different versions of GHC, from 7.4.1 to 9.6.2.
• Fudgets can be compiled and installed with cabal, but see the last part of the README on Hackage for some necessary preparations.
• There are .deb packages for Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12 and Raspberry Pi OS, in case you want to use the library or try the demos without compiling everything from source.
• the Fudget Library Reference Manual has been updated to match the current sources.
