Skinkie, I've toyed with the idea of running linux as dual boot a couple of times, and have gone
as far as getting damn small linux running within windows. This has got me thinking about doing so
again.

Is there any linux version which will come with everything needed to run SGC that I can use? Or
would I just need to download any version and then compile in () the extras?

I've got to say that what you've done looks very promising - I've seen similar stuff as part of
other programs, but this is the first specifically for Chinese learning, and free. Just wish I
could try it out. Perhaps you could compromise your open source principals and just get at least
one Windows developer?

... ok something very interesting. Someone on the Dutch Forum gathering.tweakers.net suggested
that the failure of WinXP could have to do with:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Execution_Prevention if some computer techies with problems
could look if this is enabled. I'm very happy to hear about it!

Our build environment is Gentoo Linux. (Combined with hand build Win32 components.) Except for two
things everything is in there:
- libzip (I can provide you an ebuild for it)
- praat (to create a praat .so / .dll you need some manual labor, which is in the HOWTO)

The project is technically finished (lets say: there is no money anymore, and everything that is
still been done, is because we believe that there are enough users to benefit from it. Hey we are
uni people ;)) If someone with specific windows skills is interested to join or want to take a
look *sure*.

Tried adding DEP exclusions for both SGC and Singleword - didn't make any difference unfortunately.

i might have a look at getting this working on Linux, but it won't be soon . . .

If you want to try Linux, try downloading one of the Ubuntu live cds. Pop in the CD and reboot and
it will load up into Linux (assuming you have enabled your computer to boot from the CD). Have a
look around, see if you like it and that everything works, and if so then proceed with the
install. Personally I prefer KDE over Gnome, so you might want to check out Kubuntu instead.

There's a little button in between the picture and the # that looks like a speech bubble that will
add quote tags to any piece of selected text. Alternatively, you can add them yourself using [
QUOTE ] and [ /QUOTE ] (minus the spaces before/after the [ ] )

It is not very smart to advertise Ubuntu, if a Ubuntu user has problems with GTK+.

I must be lucky because I have the program running on three different PCs, two in the US and one
in Singapore. Has anyone else gotten it to work?










roddy -

I got it functioning ( I think, haven't actually tested it, but the GUI starts up) on a desktop
PC. I'd compare the two machines to see what the difference might be, but I don't know where to
start.

Thanks very much Roddy

Actually, if someone wants to try Linux this distribution is going to be one of the easiest to
take for a spin, and presumably the problem your software has with Ubuntu will be solved at some
point.
