Curious if anyone's tried...

...compiling and running SEQ on Cooperative Linux...

Oh, now that is something cool I'd like to play with. Check it out, from their Downloads page:


Release Name: Gentoo

Notes:
Contributed by Pat Erley
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a stage3 i686 gentoo install.

IMPORTANT NOTE: use with coLinux 0.5.4 and above!

It will work best with devfs support compiled into the kernel with mount
/dev on boot enabled.

there is a config in /usr (/usr/src/linux-2.4.24-config-devfs) that you
can copy into /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-co and rename to .config for a devfs
enabled patched coLinux kernel.

It's installed with:

cflags="-O2 -march-i686 -pipe -funroll-loops"
cxxflags="${cflags)"
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86"

(see gentoo.org for the meanings of these)

Noteable features:

`emerge sync` will update the portage tree ***
`emerge -s [package]` will search for [package]
`emerge -pv [package]` will show what USE flags are being used to
install [package] and it's dependacies ***
`emerge [package]` will install [package] ***
`mirrorselect -a -s 5` will find the 5 fastest gentoo mirrors for you ***
*** internet access required
Defaults:

it's using metalog and vixie-cron.

Networking:

eth0 starts with dhcp by default
/etc/conf.d/net allows you to change this behavior
rc-update del net.eth0 to disable net

I'm sure I'd be opening a giant can of worms getting into something like this...

Pass the can opener.

Dont know if it would work. I see on the screenshots that cygwin is loaded several times.

If you have to use cygwin, seq will not work under it. I tried for a while for a friend. Cygwin doesnt have QT and I was never able to get it to work right with the QT that was developed for cygwin.

From the FAQ:

Q4. Why doesn't my X server work under coLinux?
coLinux currently doesn't support running an X server that requires a graphic adapter, because such virtual adapter doesn't exist at the moment. If you want to use X, you can run a Windows X server such as Cygwin/X, and launch an X session across the virtual network.

Since the only thing Cygwin is being used for is the Xserver it should work. Assuming of course, the Linux you install has all the requisites.

Try http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/qt3/download.php for QT3... haven't used it myself, but looks promising. For cygwin, btw.
