DjBR Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Could anyone explain how hypothetically hard could be to port this application to Linux? Would it be because of GTK/QT? Thanks!
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Why 'port' when you can Wine? I have no idea how hard it would be but I'd never do it anyway and I'd never give anyone else the code to try it themselves. Sorry.
DjBR Posted March 18, 2009 Author Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) Oh Lightning, YOU BAD!!! Edit: Well, you say you'd never do it anyway, I will assume this is because lack of knowledge on linux or another language like C/C++. I hope it is not because someone had shouted at you to opensource it, I'm perfectly fine with closed-source. Just thought that you could take advantage on a situation like that and make ImgBurn ubiquitous, at least with a size-slimmed basic features version. Since you don't want it because you don't want it, it will be restricted to a certain group of people only. WINE may be a good solution but a port is much better. Edited March 18, 2009 by DjBR
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 ImgBurn is written in C++ but it's done inside Borland C++ Builder rather than Visual C++ or whatever. I have no interest in making more work for myself and I have no interest in Linux beyond the little bit of messing around I do now with Ubuntu and Wine.
