Troubles arise

By farcaller June 18th, 2008

The current code is not compilable even under Cocotron. It uses rare, but nice and optimized features of Cocoa.
What that means? In the most simple case: no FOW for Linux. That automatically means no FOW for 99.9% of possible users. Guys that host their stuff on OSX servers already have nice and elegant solutions for their business.
I don’t really have any idea what to do. Rewriting code to make it fit cocotron would make it more slow, less pretty. Making it work as it is - useless. Writing a wrapper to make it use Foundation.framework in Linux - sounds impossible at my current level of OSX (and Linux) internals knowledge.
Sigh. Have to find other solution…

    Hi Vladimir, If you don’t mind could you file issues for the problems you are having with Cocotron? It would help the project to have them documented and they might be solvable in a reasonable amount of time for you.

    I’ve been thinking about implementing some of the missing cocoa API in cocotron myself. However that still forces a developer to use OSX to compile his code, and this is a major problem ATM.
    I’ve installed Gentoo back and now trying to build cocotron in pure Linux environment.
