Not unless someone volunteers to do it :) It would be an understatement to say it would be a non-trivial task. Wine might offer a way to port the Gecko / control to Linux / x86 Unix systems using the Win32 API but linking to WINELib. Note that the control uses ATL which might have certain licencing issues surrounding it. The alternative is to write an open source ATL look-a-like, with the subset of functionality that the control requires.

I would be interested into doing a Linux port. However, since I am an ignorant Windows nerd I have no idea how it can be done. What I will do is releasing more and more components as open source over time and so people, who know what they are doing can work on it. One thing I do know is that porting the UI is probably not hard since it is Delphi and can be recompiled with Kylix relatively simple.

the major GNU applications for software development, file manipulation, and text processing, including gcc, g++, make, texinfo, Emacs, the Bash shell and numerous upgraded Unix utilities, the X Window System, which provides a networked graphical user interface for Linux, and countless X applications including GNOME and KDE as well as the GIMP GNU Image Manipulation Program, a full suite of networking applications, including servers for Internet protocols such as HTTP (WWW), FTP, NNTP (news), SMT.

Kurt has ported two Linux NIC drivers 'quite easily' - they were pretty self-sufficient, not relying on much support from the kernel.

In general, *nix programs need very little porting. Simply follow the installation instructions. If you don't know—and don't know how to find out—the answers to some of the questions asked during the installation procedure, you can guess, but this tends to produce buggy programs. In this case, you're probably better off asking someone else to do the port.

Unless I get laid off again, no, I don't currently have any time to spend on additional ports. (And if I do, the most likely next platform would be PocketPC.) If you are experienced in one of these platforms and C coding and would like to partner with me on doing a port, please let me know. Adventurous Linux users may want to try running the Win32 version on top of Wine.

this point, we don't have official plans to port Transana to Linux. With the new video infrastructure for Transana 2.20, it actually shouldn't be too difficult to create. Rumor is that Transana mostly works on Linux when run from source code. Window sizing is a bit dodgy, and the File Management Tool doesn't work because there isn't a Linux version of the SRB dynamic library. Otherwise, it appears to work acceptably. Please note, however, that this is NOT officially supported.

The ttyS# namespace is reserved for 8250 based serial drivers. The on-chip Blackfin UART is not such a device, so we are not allowed to use the ttyS# namespace. If necessary, you can always make a symbolic link from /dev/ttyBF0 to /dev/ttyS0: ln -s ttyBF0 /dev/ttyS0

There are thousands of applications for Linux already available for use, and numerous others are in various stages of development. Many of these applications are comparable (or even superior) in performance to applications available for Microsoft Windows and other operating systems. Moreover, most of them are absolutely free, just as Linux is, and many of them are included on the same CDROMs that contain Linux and are installed by default when Linux is installed.

There is also a program called VMware (www.VMWare.com) which lets you run several "virtual computers" concurrently as applications, each with its own Operating System. There is a review in Linux Journal about it.

Using JACK on a 64-bit platform requires baudline x86_64. Some Linux distributions, such as 64-bit Ubuntu 7.10 don't, include the 32-bit compatibility libraries as default, so baudline x86_64 is required for those installations too. The 32-bit i686 version of baudline runs about 4% faster than the 64-bit x86_64 version. So if performance is important then running 32-bit i686 baudline on a x86_64 CPU and 64-bit operating system would be beneficial.

In fact, baudline has obtained Linux technical validation to run on IBM iSeries and pSeries Power machines. Contact us for more information.

Some developers use Linux as a low end UNIX development system. Also some companies which require very low runtimes costs find the Linux licensing attractive. We are also committed to making WM_MOTIF available on all popular UNIX systems. Our library is a commercial product and is not covered by the GPL. We are offering a special promotional price on the Linux platform. Call or e-mail for details. No. There are no runtime royalties or license fees with WM_MOTIF.

Yes, the CS linux server is put out with each release, usually on the same day and a few hours before the windows release.

Yes. Mainsoft supports the required .NET Framework components, including System.Web to port ASP.NET Web applications to the Java EE platform.

Yes and no. Windows applications will not run natively on Linux (that is, without help). There are 4 different options for running Windows applications on Linux, and it depends on your needs.1) dosemu – DOS emulation program has been around for a while, and works pretty well, so if you have old DOS programs you want to run, they will likely work using dosemu. 2) WINE - WINE stands for "WINE Is Not an Emulator".

A typical GNU/Linux distribution includes hundreds or even thousands of pre-packaged software libraries and applications in its repositories that are available for you to install at any time. In gNewSense, for example, you can install, uninstall, and update applications through the "Applications"|"Add/Remove..." menu or through the Synaptic Package Manager. New software or updates are automatically downloaded from the Internet.

The short answer to this is: no, not automatically and not directly. That is to say, Microsoft Windows and Linux applications cannot run the same applications because they are not designed in the same way. However, there are some ways to run programs for Microsoft Windows on Linux using emulators and other means.

Debugging uClinux application is the same as debugging Linux application. We can use printk() to print out kernel information; use GDB to debug applications; or use KGDB to debug the kernel or drivers.

To change the network setting of the Blackfin, you will need to modify the ./uClinux-dist/vendors/AnalogDevices/BFXXX-XXXXX/rc file. This file is the startup script that is run each time the Blackfin boots. To set a static ip address of your choice, add the line ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 Then rebuild the kernel. You can also use this file to automatically mount shared drives and other things that need to be done at boot time.

Because the MMH Program begins in May each year, our selection process concludes earlier than most other graduate programs. Deadlines vary depending on your campus choice: Ithaca or Singapore. You must complete your application and a personal interview before an application deadline in order to receive an admission decision by the corresponding notification date.

For some time now, a few companies have been nice enough to port their games in-house and often release binaries for free, some companies not only release native ports, but also release source! Other companies, known as porting houses exist solely to port games to Linux. Usually boxed with the hope that they can be sold at retail.

Yes, eventually we will port SheerPower to run on Linux. We're not sure when there will be an OS/2 version. It depends on the demand for it.

Not at all. It is a complete rewriting of the Linux driver with an emphasis on performances and readability. It is distributed under the BSD License.

While the developers won't rule anything out at this point, there are currently no plans to support any platform except the PC.

In theory yes, because the WinBinder architecture allows this. However, the bulk of the code resides in the API layer, and replacing it is not trivial by any means. This seems to be an overly complex task which is not among the goals of this project.
