Native linux support?

ndoss

Any chance that you'll release a version that runs natively under linux?

We've put it into the the roadmap and will try to give high priority.

@ndoss by roadmap we mean:

In fact I can play with Gideros Studio natively in my Ubuntu box, it took a few hours to port to Linux. It only needs a decent packaging (RPM / dpkg / tar.gz / tar.bz2 etc).

Maybe, before the final release, we put some effort for an interim native Linux release and provide a beta build so we can test the Linux build together

ndoss

I'm a willing alpha/beta tester!

gorkem

I know rpm quite well, but not dpkg - are you good at it?

ndoss

Sadly, no

Stoffe

If you are using make, checkinstall can be used to make deb (and rpm and slackware) packages that may be good enough for beta testing purposes while figuring out how to do proper packages.

Will try it, many thanks.

@ndoss just out of curiosity - are you running Gideros Studio on wine at the moment?

ndoss

Yes, wine under Linux Mint 10.

Gorkem, I'm running it under wine on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with wineconfig set to XP

gorkem

Oh, already two guys using Linux. Speeding up the process... =D>

I can beta test the native linux build if you'd like.
