gcc on win with configure

Submitted by oyster on October 2, 2006 - 7:19am

Is there a portable gcc on windows( I prefer to mingw, because it does not need extra dll as cygwin does), which supports the bash, autoconfigue comannd, so that I can compile most of the src on the command line like

./configure
make static
cd py_ext
make mingcmodule.so
make install

please note that I am not saying the portable devcpp IDE. Thanx

FreeBASIC

Submitted by elbel86 on October 2, 2006 - 12:37am

FreeBASIC is a QuickBASIC alternative, and it would be great if it could be made portable. I have found that it is much better with the FBide program, otherwise all programming must be done in a text editor like notepad, and compiled usin the windows command promp. Both programs are open source under the GNU GPL so it sould not be a problem. The website for both programs is www.freebasic.net

Second Life?

Submitted by cavedeamon on September 28, 2006 - 7:30pm

I want to know if anyone has made or can make a second life portable?
www.secondlife.com
It is MMO and Myspace combined to form a 3d world, aka 3d chatroom.
The actual program is a download that runs from the computer.
If you can't post the launcher can you tell me how to make the launcher.
thanks in advance

Card Game - XMSOL

Submitted by Dan Beale on September 28, 2006 - 6:40am

Petr Laštovička's website has some games released under a "reciprocal public license".

XMSOL.EXE is an excellent collection of solitaire card games that would be suitable - and simple - for portable apps wrapping.

The license is a bit confusing, but I don't think it'd prevent protable apps use. And I'm sure that Petr would be pleased about many people using his apps.

Emulate a portable device in your computer

Submitted by orpheus on September 26, 2006 - 2:38pm

Hi,

i'm new, and know what i'm going to tell is not in the way you are working (and may be is done).

Every day there are more devices (TV, DVD players, HiFi and car Audio, ...) where you can plug a portable Device (usually an USB memory) and access to files and play the music, or video you have there.

may be interesting an application than let you select a folder in your computer, and emulate your computer is an USB memory, so you can connect your computer and this device using USB cable, and this device can play the files in the selected folder in the computer.
