Query regarding porting to Linux/Mac

[Naveen Kumar]

Hi!

I'm Naveen Kumar. I'm a Final Year B.Tech (Computer Science Student). I'm the Manager of GDG Lingaya's University, a sub-Chapter of GDG New Delhi. I've been using Ubuntu Linux for over a couple of years now, and I also help people on AskUbuntu, although I visit a couple of days a week or so. I'm also familiar with a few other Debian-based distros like LinuxMint, and also BSD; although Ubuntu is my default OS.

I found the Build ToolKit here and realized it's for Windows only. I have worked on building & installing packages made using C++, Qt & Python on these platforms in the past. And Mac shouldn't be very much different either. Hence, I'd like to know 'what' exactly are we supposed to port to Linux here? What kind of source code would be shared with us: Python or a project that is specific to an IDE or a Qt Project or something else?

Thanks.

P.S. I'd also love to help in the 'Translation' part and am learning Android App Development too currently. Do I have to submit multiple proposals then?

- Regards,

Naveen Kumar

Have a look at our code on github, it's a Qt project.

Yes, you need to submit multiple proposals. One project idea per proposal.
