As per title. No menu bar in BoE, CharEd, or ScenEd, so e.g. interacting with preferences is not possible.

(Ubuntu 19.04 x86-64, g++ 8.3.0, built with scons)

This is a known bug which I haven't addressed largely because I'm not sure how best to implement a menu in Linux - if you happened to have any suggestions, I'd really like to hear them!

Oh! I hadn't realized that SFML didn't include any kind of menu widgets. Whoops.

I'm pretty inexperienced in GUI/widget related stuff myself, but may see if I can throw something together. My first thought honestly is to get rid of the menus, and move the menu-only functionality to an extra row of buttons or such.

SFML is not a GUI toolkit, it's just a graphics toolkit - similar to SDL. So, it doesn't provide any widgets whatsoever.

That means that I have to do one of the following:

  1. Re-implement a menubar from scratch using just SDL. The custom GUI framework already in BoE might have some use here, not sure.
  2. Find an external toolkit that does (ideally) nothing but menus, preferably based on OpenGL.
  3. Figure out a way to substitute the menus with something using Zenity (for Linux users only of course).
  4. (insert solution here)
