Re: [Freeciv-Dev] fltk + civclient: anyone consider a port?

Greetings!

        I'm new to FreeCiv and FreeCiv-Dev, so please bear with me while I
adjust my irony and humor detectors.  "On the Internet, no one knows whether

        That's a shame, because I'm starting work on porting FreeCiv to BeOS.
Since the GTK port of BeOS isn't stable (no key events, etcetera), it's going
to be faster to do a fully native port.  Any of you interested in BeOS port,
go see http://www.cosource.com/ and browse the BeOS section -- and sponsor
a proposal when it arrives!


        Which brings up the issue of submitting source changes to freeciv.
I can file a bug against the server, providing the patches needed to let it
run on BeOS.  Is the same mechanism preferred for a new client, which would
appear in a new subdirectory (client/gui-beos/)?  I'd expect the first draft
submitted would NOT use automake and autoconf, but that flaw would be corrected
soon afterwards.
