# The devel/ptlib port

## ptlib-2.10.10 – portable tools library

## Description

    PTLib is a moderately large C++ class library that originated many years
    ago as a method to produce applications that run on both Microsoft
    Windows and Unix X-Windows systems. It also was to have a Macintosh port
    as well, but this never eventuated. In those days it was called the
    PWLib the Portable Windows Library.

    Since then, the availability of multi-platform GUI toolkits such as KDE
    and wxWindows, and the development of the OpenH323 and OPAL projects as
    primary user of the library, has emphasised the focus on networking, I/O
    portability, multi-threading and protocol portability. Mostly, the
    library is used to create high performance and highly portable
    network-centric applications. So all the GUI abstractions ahave been
    dropped and it was renamed the Portable Tools Library that you see
    today.
