Hello,
We have played around with the BeOS a bit now, and have concluded that we don't know enough about it :help: to port the client. :crazy:
If someone would like to volunteer to assist, there are some things that would help.
First, we need to know how to successfully get ncurses installed and working.
Second, we need to port the 'NCBI Toolkit', an open source set of libraries here:
ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/toolbox/ncbi_tools/
Just uncompress it into an 'ncbi' directory. To port, you need to create a ncbilcl.BeOS file (in the corelib subdirectory) and a BeOS.ncbi.mk file (in the platform subdirectory). Then to compile you cd out of the ncbi directory and run
'ncbi/make/makedis.csh'
Unfortunately BeOS does not have Csh either so this fails :D
If anyone can make significant progress on getting the toolkit built, please contact us! (trades@mshri.on.ca)
We belive if we can get curses and the toolkit libraries successfully built, we should be able to handle the remainder of the porting with possibly a few more cries for help here and there.
Thanks in Advance
