Dear Colleagues
Many thanks to Chris Burrows (below) and Bernhard Treutwin (off-list who
pointed out that he is using BlackBox without any problems under ?Ubuntu
6.06 LTS with Wine 0.9.60). I have BlackBox running under the same
version of wine, on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, and it is well behaved. So, I can
develop for BlackBox under Windows running my preferred operating system
but I would like to run BlackBox natively under Linux.
Why? Two reasons:
1) Selfish: I now have a great preference for Linux.
2) Development: I am working on something that I want to make available
under Open Source and would like as many people as possible to have
access, and I think that the Linux community (of which I'm not really a
member, only a user) would be interested in BlackBox, and could
contribute to its development and use.
Reading the links Chris provided it is clear that there has at least
been some interest in a port to Linux. I can programme in BlackBox but
am completely and utterly ignorant of what a port would involve. Does
anybody have any suggestions as to how I could encourage a port to
Linux?
This is perhaps an ambitious, or even daft, question, but I thought I
would ask anyway...
Best wishes to all, Martin Fisher
