Hello,
I have started working on ApexDC for Linux. The client is based on Qt framework and this doesn't mean that will just work on KDE only The Linux version should be the same of Window one but with few changes because the two OS are different
Client is based on DC++ core and the idea is to make it good looking like ApexDC and got all functions a windows client has.
There are two packages:

• DC Client core (called libdcclient)
  
• GUI

The frist one is just the client core that it's very easy to compile because I wrote autoconf and automake scripts and those will help you fixing missing dependences. Then the second one is the Gui that links against the libdcclient so you don't need to compile client and gui everytime. There is no public release or test version yet, but here some screenshoot I did:






What do u think? Is someone involved in this project?

Bye

[netcelli]

Yes! It uses DC++ core

[Lee]

If DC++ incorporates it, I'm sure it'll get ported.

The idea is to implement little op features (apart from the standard set) as we want to focus on getting user features there first.

Once there's a stable-ish and somewhat functional version we'll announce it. We're working closely with netcelli.

then crise should have the code soon from adrian

he already has it.

Really great news, I know I am not involved in the funds, but imHo netcelli should get the reward with honours! My next dream is unleashed! Anyone up to write Apex Mobile for pocket PC? I'd love to have it on my Qtec 9000 running Win Mobile 6.1. If the present Linux client works on some small Linux distro, which works on the Qtec, it will be fine too.

[netcelli]

Well, trolltech is developing API for WindowsCE too but I have no idea if it will works

[Greg]

I'm sufficiently excited, awaiting some sort of usable release.

Hey Hey

That are really good news.
Finally someone take the challenge.
Great work m8. Keep going on

[Lee]

Just a quick heads up. Anybody interested in testing early builds (read: not for production/regular use) should PM netcelli so he can distribute the builds.

Once a certain level of stability is available we'll start pushing more publically.

Ya know I was about to post a new topic about a linux release not happening and that I might try myself, but as this is looking good I think I will just sit back a bit and see how it goes. As I have said before I aint a coder, but recently I decided to swap over to linux and thus decided I need to learn programming.

So any suggestions on where to start learning linux coding will he helpful and then when I get to a good enough standard I will see what I can contribute.

Oh and definatly put me forward for testing. Could do with something better than LinuxDC++!

[Zlobomir]

imo he does not bash, he just wants a challenge.

Linux will prove difficult for beginners pro. If you want to learn to code on it, you'd be best with a background to coding to begin with.

Better to become comfortable to use it out of KDE first then start coding on it.

There are loads of linux forums around. They always prove the best place to learn.
