libsigc++ -- The Typesafe Callback Framework for C++ General information: libsigc++ implements a typesafe callback system for standard C++. It allows you to define signals and to connect those signals to any callback function, either global or a member function, regardless of whether it is static or virtual. libsigc++ is used by gtkmm to wrap the GTK+ signal system. It does not depend on GTK or gtkmm. Further information about the major release 2.0 is available on the libsigc++ project home page: http://libsigc.sourceforge.net/ License information: Distribution of library and components is under the LGPL as listed in the file COPYING.

This release has only been tested with gcc-3.3. It should at least also compile with: * gcc >= 3.2 * cygwin (gcc >= 3.2) * mingw32 * Microsoft Visual Studio .Net 2003 * Sun Forte C++ compiler >= 5.5 * Compaq C++ compiler * Intel compiler Please report any troubles you encounter with these compilers! You are also invited to try a compiler that is not listed above.
