[Olympus developers 427]: Re: Support on Linux

[Alex Rudnicky]

Phoenix is C code. Rosetta is Perl. Helios is C++, like RavenClaw.

RavenClaw was implemented with a view to making it portable to Linux. The main issue with Windows/Linux (for us at least) were the string manipulation libraries. An attempt was made to compartmentalize these, so in principle porting would be simpler. Some work was done towards a port (in regularizing the code) but was not completed.

Subject: [Olympus developers 426]: Support on Linux

Hi,

     After reading the archived email threads, I know that RavenClaw doesn't work on Linux based platforms. What I didn't get to know is that do we have the same problem for Pheonix, Helios and Rosetta? Or do they work fine on a Linux environment. I have been posting questions frequently to the developers mailing list but I haven't been getting any response from your side lately. I would really appreciate if you could reply to the question in this email.
