#DOWNLOAD FREE42 FOR IMAC INSTALL#

I know that Cygwin is not a real Linux, and that programs compiled there won't run on true Linuxes, but I have liked it since the distribution includes an absurd number of packages, so I just decided to install them all to be sure I have what I need. Thomas, I do have gcc in Ubuntu (needed it to configure VMware Tools), and it effectively compiles simple text based C programs, but when I get into anything graphical the compiler error output is inscrutable to me.

If I remember correctly, it takes a little configuration twiddling to get the X server going (I don't think it is run by default), and to run the build, you'll need the Mac versions of gcc etc., available for free at you may want to read this document about porting Unix applications to MacOS to get the big picture before you dive in. Just so you know - if you plan on running programs in Free42 on the Mac, I'd recommend compiling the Unix version for MacOS it will run as an X client on the Mac desktop. Unfortunately, Jeff Dionne hasn't gotten around to fixing this yet, and I don't have a Mac so I can't do it either. The Free42 MacOS widget is missing some event handling code, which causes running programs on it to fail. The smart money is on missing development libraries and headers, though (in Fedora, those are typically recognizable by package names including the word devel) - from what I recall of the few occasions I played with Ubuntu's Live CDs, development stuff is not part of the basic Ubuntu install. ) However, if you send me the output from make I might still be able to figure out which packages are missing, though I wouldn't be able to tell you their exact names. I'm not familiar with Ubuntu - I use Fedora myself and I'm too stubborn to change, the hype be damned. Message #2 Posted by Thomas Okken on, 12:42 p.m., Re: more iMac rambling, this time a little more OT With this new computer, I have been neglecting my new 35s! The Free42 Mac widget is not bad, but I must say I prefer the appearance of the Windows and Linux versions.

Unfortunately the 2GB sticks are still pretty expensive, so it will be a while before I upgrade to 3GB or 4GB. It would be nice to have more RAM available to dedicate to the virtual machine. My Apple retailer has extra 1GB RAM in stock, and it is pretty cheap too! I am finding that 1GB is still a bit sluggish if I want to get good performance out of my XP virtual machine. I have learned that my new iMac has an empty memory slot-the 1GB in situ.

I am really liking this Ubuntu too-pretty spiffy for a free OS!

I have been able to compile the Free42 code in VC++ too, and it is indeed fun to tinker with some of the math algorithms. Keep in mind I am a real Linux virgin, but still I would like to learn more. If anyone has any advice about compiling Thomas' source code in Ubuntu Linux 32-bit I would be grateful. I know there is nothing wrong with the source code files-I happen to have an overly complete implementation of Cygwin (i.e., more packages than I will ever use) in my XP virtual machine and Thomas's code compiles beautifully there by simply typing make or make -e BCD_MATH=1 in both gtk and motif subdirs. Alas, I haven't been able to compile his source code myself in that OS-I am assuming I am missing in Ubuntu some key packages and libraries. I find that Thomas Okken's Free42 precompiled Linux binaries run beautifully-both Motif and GTK versions.
