Submitted by Ryan Leavengood reports on the Haiku website: “I know I have been very quiet for a while in regards to my Haiku WebKit port, but that is because I’ve been in a long session of coding. I am happy to report that this weekend I finally got WebCore compiling for Haiku. So what does this mean? Does it mean the port is now complete? Unfortunately, no it doesn’t.” Update: Haiku gets a featured speaker spot and a booth at ScaLE 6x Expo
I follow the Haiku project avidly, but posting this as news is a bit of a stretch, and one would think puts more pressure on Ryan. Good luck to him, but let him get further ahead!
Almost as news-worthy as the Open Document Foundation
Good point, but personally I love to hear anything about Haiku in the news. That means that it is still alive in the eyes of the online community, which means interest is maintained. I hope I’m not the only “regular user” out there who is eagerly awaiting a beta release of this amazing OS.
Are in order for Ryan.
Now comes the hard part of debugging and eventually optimizing.
Getting it to compile is a good first milestone.
It certainly shows progress!
Way to go Ryan!!!
