Yet another option of rewriting Gideros completely so it does not use Qt (I'm not a fan of Qt personally) proved even less practical.
I also flirted with the option of rolling back Gideros to Qt4 (which it has previously used) but that turned out to be impractical. I now realise that the latter "bug" was actually a useful feature for reasons that will become clear in a moment. I did get a working Qt5 compiler, but there were a few anomalies: resulting executables had all fonts missing and did not run in a window but in a large "panel" which overlapped the entire X-Windows desktop. I did attempt to compile Qt5.5 from sources but, after a 3 day compilation process (!), this did not entirely work.
#GIDEROS APPS INSTALL#
That is, it was only possible to install Qt4 directly from binaries via apt-get. The operating system that originally came with my (I mean "our") Pi (pre-installed using the NOOBS system) was Raspbian Wheezy which for some reason only has access to Qt4. Firstly Gideros is built with a compiler system called Qt and in particular Qt5. If more money flows in, we can use that to promote Gideros by, for example, attending conferences/exhibitions and writing articles for websites.įor a good chunk of the year, I've been trying to port Gideros to the Pi which has proved surprisingly difficult, due to two problems. Of course, I'd like to see more money than that! But please give what you can afford and we'll see how it goes. If 10% of those who download Gideros can donate £10 per release that should be enough to pay a salary at the UK minimum wage level. You can dismiss this screen and simply download but we hope people who find Gideros useful will donate what they can afford. The idea is similar to Ubuntu: when you download Gideros, you will go first to a donation screen asking you to donate whatever sum you think appropriate. However, in future releases, we will start asking for voluntary donations when you download a new version.
#GIDEROS APPS SOFTWARE#
We may not approve all software for installation due to software licensing, server stability, or security issues.But given Gideros is free and open source, you may be wondering how I will get paid? Firstly, let me reassure you that Gideros is and will always remain free and open source so you will never have to pay a fee to use it and you can continue to publish with no restrictions whatever.
#GIDEROS APPS FOR FREE#
Please note that we cannot provide commercial software for free but we can help you to install them if you have proper software licenses. We will arrange software installation on your MacinCloud account and you may use them during the trial to make sure they function properly. If you have a list of software that you have already purchased or plan to use with your MacinCloud server account, please contact us. For self-contained applications, simply drag them to your Mac account's desktop instead of the default "Applications" folder and you can run them directly from there. Many Mac software do not require installation and therefore you can directly run them in your MacinCloud account. Software that is currently BANNED from all servers:
