MissingInActionPorts :
  • Glib, Gdk, Gtk+, GIMP
    While Refraction is still on the way, I for one would still love to see The GIMP port to BeOS finished, it's a shame this port has somehow stopped. Yes Refraction is on the way, yet it will be a long time before it reaches the maturity of The GIMP. If the GIMP port is not completed, perhaps gtk+ should be ported properly(perhaps with bindings(not sure of the correct term) to the BeOS API so that it is clean and fast and looks like BeOS, enabling various aspects of the GIMP UI or numerous GIMP plugins to be perhaps integrated into Refraction. Also porting gtk+ could allow some other linux apps to be ported. Here's some links:

    Anyone else got any other ideas on this?
    Any information on why it has stalled?
    What difficulties were encountered?

  • Tk (No port prevents a lot of Tcl/Tk and PythonTk app ports)

  • SimpleDirectMediaLayer Currently maintained as part of LibPak by ahwayakchih. Eugenia’s SDLGameLibs is obsolete.

  • wxWindows is a set of libraries that allows C++ applications to compile and run on several different types of computer, with minimal source code changes. There is one library per supported GUI (such as Windows, GTK+, Motif, and Mac). As well as providing a common API (Application Programming Interface) for GUI functionality, it provides functionality for accessing some commonly-used operating system facilities, from copying and deleting files to socket and thread support. wxWindows is a 'framework' in the sense that it provides a lot of built-in functionality, which the application can use or replace as required, thus saving a great deal of coding effort. Basic data structures such as strings, arrays, linked lists and hash tables are also supported. Thay even look for BeOS developer to restart the port activity!

  • Qt - at alpha stage.

  • MySQL is an extremely popular database solution, and the people at MySQL.com really want a port to be done. http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/BeOS.html

  • Neverwinter Nights from section 8.04 of the faq a BeOS version will not be completed.

  • Ongaku?What ever happened to this app?
MissingInActionAppsDemo :
  • Directories synchronizer - The developer (Pavel Popov) seems to be non-contactable. And as I would like a simple way to sync my directories and the trial period has run out I don't know what to do. Does anyone know where he is hiding or any other good app. Worst case scenario: No other app, Pavel is long gone from the BeOS scene and the app is abandonware. If so, does anyone have a serial to share? EsoX
