VisualBe++?

Development

Howdy!

Are there any plans of rebuilding VisualBe++ to run in Haiku (Beta 3)? I like using it and MeTOS in Zeta as I learn to program in this C++ language (that is barely human readable–it gives me fits reading it).

I prefer the graphic interface (like Visual Basic 3.0) so I can see what I trying to do and understand all the underpinning options involved in forms, etc… I know professionals probably do not like using such an interface (since they know what they are doing in the first place).

I located two very old posts…but they never really touched the subject of making it available for Haiku.

MeTOS is on our repository server software.besly.de. it runs but not totally testen.

I do not see MeTOS in HaikuDepot. Most likely it is not 64-bit, which is the H1B3 I have installed.

I would test it if it was available in 64-bit.

Thanks for the info.

Please use Terminal in Haiku and perform the following command per your system, 32 or 64 bit:

For 32Bit type in the terminal:
pkgman add-repo https://software.besly.de/repo

For 64Bit type in the terminal:
pkgman add-repo https://software.besly.de/repo64

Afterwards, refresh repositories by typing in Terminal:
pkgman refresh

Thanks, but this is not a missing repository issue.

I already have the repository installed.

I probably would see it if I had a 32-bit system.

MeTOS is the old beOS build in a haiku package, so it is only 32bit.

I can not remember if i put the source included the package, but iirc this is only the old software.

Well, at least I can continue to work my projects in Zeta and get the app working there first.
Then, I copy the source (i.e. .h & .cpp) files into Haiku and see it works there afterwards.
