elx does offer a trial version of kylix, but I haven't gotten this to work
yet. Will report to elx forum as well.
The basic procedure is
0) su
1) untar the package
2) cd to kylix_trial
3) cd to borpretest
4) ./testsystem - reports good results "kylix should work"
5) ./setup.sh - install successful to /root/kylix
instructions say to use startkylix to run
6) cd /usr/local/bin
./startkylix &
7) Get message "Generating font matrix. Please wait..." plus a dialog box
saying the same thing. 8) Now running at 45+ minutes 100% cpu with
occasional disk access. Probably in a loop.
The following are from a ps ax display
1452 pts/1 S 0:00 /bin/bash ./startkylix
1455 pts/1 S 0:03 /root/kylix/bin/Kylix
1457 ? S 0:00 wineserver
1458 pts/1 S 0:00 /root/kylix/bin/Kylix
1459 pts/1 S 0:00 /root/kylix/bin/Kylix
1460 pts/1 R 18:20 /root/kylix/bin/transdlg Generating font
matrix. Pl ea
Top shows continuous growth of Mem. used and buff and corresponding drop
in Mem. free at each iteration. transdlg is consuming all the cpu. Swap
is not changing.
I haven't had success on gentoo with kylix, either, so I'm not really
surprised.
Guess I'll kill it and move on.
