Hello.
I am happy to present polYdev.
polYdev is a FreeBSD operating system.
For graphic applications it uses Xorg, xfe and JMW windows manager.
The live cdrom offers "pure X" applications (gui applications that do not need parent wigetset, like GTK, gnu, Qt, carbon or KDE).
You may transfer the system from the cdrom to other devices.
polYdev is:
- multi-arch (can run 32 and 64 bit programs, console and Xorg).
- multi-os (can emulate Linux, Windows (via Wine))
- multi-cross (can cross-compile for nearly everything)
- multi-media (graphic (Xorg) and audio (with uos), ready to work)
- multi-dev (develop tools ready to use)
- multi-users (easy tools for managing)
- multi-net (all needed to connect, installed and working)
- multi-assist (assistive via sak voice-synth)
You may download the iso here.
The source of included applications and how to build the cdrom are in GitHub here.
How to install.
- Download the iso.
- Boot from the iso.
- At booting it can take some time to decompress the system.
Do not worry, all is ok.
After the splash screen, the screen will fade and you may still wait while the system is mounting local files.
When the boot has terminated, login as root and enter pyv.
The polYdev desktop will appear.
WARNING : For virtual machine, minimum 2 gigas of RAM are needed.
Transferring to device:
Click on menu button of traybar:
Installing live applications.
There are extra applications in the distribution.
Wine emulator, fpc compiler, IfranView image editor,...
You may install it that way:
Adding users.
Once you have transfered polYdev to device, reboot using that device.
You may now add other users.
About poly-cross-compilation.
polYdev is equipped-configured with fpc (Free Pascal Compiler).
fpc is the only low-level compiler who has easy cross-compilation features.
This because fpc exists for mainly all architectures, with same code.
"Write ones, compile everywhere" is the slogan of fpc.
For "pure X" applications, fpGUI and MSEgui widgetsets give you all needed to create high quality gui applications.
All the extra-applications in the distribution where compiled with this beta-release, without any configuration needed.
The sources are in /dist/src/.
You may compile it via MSEide or IdeU, load the *.prj file and modify-compile-run it, "out of the box". Form designers are included too.
fpc can create console and gui applications (included web, multi-media, voice assisted) but also native and Java-compatible libraries, even graphical-output-libraries !
Enjoy ;-)
