Re: getting Croquet to work (linux vs unix?)

Paul Sheldon-2
By this, I get that you know how to do things you like to do in linux
that can't be done with BSD.

eg. other's speak of linux :

Freudenberg's Feb 22 2007 7:41a post was a linux fix.

Bill Six's Mar 4 2007 8:20p post was also (he evidently didn't have a mac
and
couldn't testify to my guessed at memory of a workaround which I forgot).

Does our os base in a "unix flavor" (BSD or linux) make "function not
defined"
a common ground for Luis's emerging intention in his question?

Did Russ solve his problem with that other post answer?
"...Ubuntu linux. After installing libglut-dev and it's dependencies,
everything worked fine."

glut sounds familiar from my intensive studies of Ed Angel's
"Interactive Computer Graphics".
That's the way I got his pc c software working on my macintosh
with its developer environment BSD frameworks.
I would assume, from the above quote, libglut-dev,
are not only building blocks for programmers but also
users programs who subscribe to them at runtime.

That is very interesting. I think that is called runtime environment
and I found some abstract code at os x beta time
where a comment statement was made that Apple folks
should explain this to Redmond (make them eat worms?).

;-)

Your assumption is false, both for the original question and for  
assuming there was any intent in a non-existing follow up question.

The question I raised was because it was highly unlikely, and still  
is, that Vista has a UNIX/BSD/Linux core, which I wanted cleared up.
Microsoft has used Open Source source code (the BSD TCP stack in  
Windows 2000) but not in their kernel, which is still, unless proven  
wrong, an NT kernel.
