RE: Re: Veering OTKylix Licensing
Jim, Thanks for the link. In all my years of using Delphi and now Kylix, I have never encountered such a license statement. I somehow knew it was not right for the individual developer. /rant was gonna rant about Kylix bashing, but decided not to /end rant Best Regards, Keith B.

It uses a (hidden)version of wine, and I just don't like that emulator and a 48 meg trial download is huge, in my book. They will be changing the license terms. I'm sure it's under review, since the borland forums are up in arms. As for wine, it's only the ide that uses it, not the finished apps. The problem I have with kylix is distributing apps, since you need about 8 megs of libraries. I've heard it requires the particular version of qt that ships with kylix, so you end up with a .tar.gz of 3+ megs that blows up to 8+ on install. For those who are using kylix, try InstallMade, which makes a .tar.gz of the finished project including autodetecting and packaging the required libraries and links, etc. -- Ken Moffat [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
