Thanks to Ryan Leavengood's help on setting up crosscompiling
from Linux we should soon be able to provide you with Firefox2
builds specifically built for Haiku and gcc4. I guess
productivity will go down (or up) :)
I am a web programmer working from home, and if we could get Firefox,
Pe, Apache, and PHP fully working, I could actually switch to Haiku as
my main working platform.
I'd have to run it via VMware (since it won't run on my laptop), and I'd
still have to switch back to Windows to check things out on IE, but it'd
be pretty cool to be able to actually be productive on Haiku.
On the other hand, Be still runs on my old desktop, and I suppose
eventually I could run Haiku on that machine and connect via VNC from my
laptop...
Pe was recently discussed; does anyone know whether Apache and PHP will
compile and run in Haiku? And whether I can get to localhost even if
networking is not fully functional?
If no one knows whether this is possible, I may have to take some time
this weekend and check it out.
