Hehe, well, I just discovered how easy it is to port command line tools, and there are quite a lot of 'em out there. Everyone can do it, this is how:
Find a suitable tool to port, say for example bin2iso. Download the source, if it's only one file, bin2iso.c, type; GCC bin2iso.c -o bin2iso.exe
This produces the exe file called bin2iso, i all goes well.
If there's more files in the archive, there's usually a makefile aswell.
Look for makefile.linux, these often works for AOS4 straight away. Rename it to just makefile. then type Make. If all goes well, you'll get some AOS4 binaries, if something fails, first check the makefile, if it's too big and messy, try compiling the stuff by hand, if it's not too messy... Good luck ya'll, let's see some ports from all you none coders like me out there! _________________ AOS4 Betatester, Peg2, G4@1ghz, Radeon 9250 256mb, 1gb RAM.
