That sounds good, I have been out of software for a while so I was not = even aware of mingw. I think you are right that IO in linux should be no = problem. I wonder if mingw has some mechanism for accessing IO ports or the = parallel port that would allow us to avoid giveio or userport. If not we can = always use giveio or userport.

Subject: Re: [Abios-rtool-software-dev] Discussion of tools to use for = ABRT software. I was thinking we could stick to gcc on both Unix and Win32 systems. I really like the mingw package and it seems to work well. Parport IO should be reasonabally easy with something like Userport or GiveIO to open up the IO ports on NT version. I'm not quite sure, but from what I remember, its pretty easy to use the parport in Linux as well, though I don't remember if you have to be root to access the ports. --- Jack Gassett <jac...@ya...> wrote: > Hello again, >=20 > =20 >=20 > I=12m sending this message out hopefully to start a > discussion on what tools > to use to create the client software for the > Affordable Bios Restoration > Tool project.=20 >=20 > =20 >=20 > The requirements that I would like to fulfill are > the following: >=20 > * Support for Linux and Windows. > * Easy installation, one unified installer would be > nice.

vivek,=20 Thank you for participating, QT is an option but I think the downside of QT is that it is a much larger install than something like = fltk. What does everyone else think?

Hello again, =20 I=92m sending this message out hopefully to start a discussion on what = tools to use to create the client software for the Affordable Bios Restoration Tool project.=20 =20 The requirements that I would like to fulfill are the following: * Support for Linux and Windows. * Easy installation, one unified installer would be nice. At the very list the required libs/toolkits should be minimal and easy to install. * GUI (can be at a later stage). =20 Here are some possible approaches to accomplish this: * Java/CommAPI/Swing. This should work for Windows and Linux and is fairly easy to install. I=92ve never written a gui in Java though. * gcc, using cygwin in Windows. After talking with Mike he wanted to stay away from cygwin and wanted to use fltk as the gui. I like fltk and would like to stay away from cygwin if possible. I=92m not sure what = Mike had in mind to do that but my next bullet is a guess on what he was = thinking. * gcc/Visual C++ using ifdef statements for the differences between the linux and windows versions. =20 Any other ideas or clarifications on how to do this? Any other = requirements that we should include up front? =20 Thanks, =20 Jack. --=20 Internal Virus Database is out-of-date. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
