Mathemagix

[Julien Wintz <address@concealed>]

Hello all,

For some reasons I tried to write a simple gui to mathemagix using the  
Qt library.

I use Qt's crossplatform abstraction of a process - QProcess - (which  
behaves the same way a socket does (1)) to initiate an mmx session and  
bind the standard input and output channels.

As shown on the screenshot, I can easily read the welcome message from  
the process, but the problem occurs when it comes to obtaining the  
prompt (so I guess readline is guilty ;-)) (2).

So the question is: "Does readline uses std(in|out)put ?"

If yes, well, I will investigate ...
If no, can we expect it to behave like that ?

All the best, Ju.

(1) QTCPSocket and QProcess both inherit from QIODevice ! -> This  
sounds good to make Axel cooperate with Mmx.
(2) Note that, in the picture, what comes after the welcome message,  
starting from "1] ..." has been typed by myself just to test a basic  
mmx syntax highlighter.
