I took a look at MUIBuilder at MorphOS files and it is broken. When generating code it tries to open muibuilder.library but this is failing for some reason. Then I took a look into source code and muibuilder.library init code is seriously broken so it is not surprise.

I'm the current maintainer of MUIBuilder and I'm very interested in a fix. I can't do that myself because I don't have a MorphOS capable system.

They have completely different purposes.

ChocolateCastle is a tool which supports creating of a skeleton of private MUI classes. You can enter the names of the methods and then it creates source code with a dispatcher and empty method functions.

MUIBuilder is a GUI designer where you can place the objects (groups, buttons etc.). You can then create source code which which will create that GUI. MUIBuilder has support for locale catalogs and AmigaGuide help.

Oh that's handy. I will make sure to have a play with it when the MOS version is fixed up.

Thanks. :)

I am going to checkout source code and send patches when it is fixed. But no idea when I have time to do that =P

I don't know where you are located, but if you need a MorphOS compatible system, I might be able to help you with a donation, or loaner system.

For those of us not familiar with Germany, that would be in Bavaria.

I'm only interested in the source code of the fix.

How can the two programs cooperate? Can MUI Builder make use of the classes generated from Chocolate Castle?

No, you can only use the built-in classes. You could use a placeholder class which you replace after the source code generation by your class.

Cough, BTW: Eric had sent me the source of an unfinished version 3.

TBH, I haven't checked what it is capable to do.

Does that mean that you are not interested in owning, or borrowing a MorphOS compatible system?

Obviously. Which is okay. He only wants to focus on AROS. It's his decision. Nice to take care of compatibility issues, anyway.

Regarding CC and MB working together. What about having this automated like exchange via ARess port or such?

True. Hard to believe, eh?

MUIBuilder needs to be extended so that it can read class specifications from files. That probably means a lot of parts have to be rewritten.
