Beta testers needed - C to Java byte-code compiler/IDE

[napi]

We are inviting beta testers for our MPC (Multi-Platform C)
compiler/IDE. MPC compiles C programs and generate Java byte-code.
This allows users to develop platform independent software without
having to learn or use the Java programming language. The C language
implemented is a large subset of ANSI C (1989).


Currently the compiler/IDE only works on the Linux platform but we
intend to port it to other platforms in the near future.

Hardware Requirements :
-Any x86 compatible personal computer/workstation.
-64MB RAM

Software Requirements :
-Linux operating system (any distribution) running kernel 2.4 or above
-Java SDK 1.5. Either from Sun or Blackdown.
-Java GNOME 2.6

If you are interested please send an email to zam...@axiomsol.com. All your

Thank you.

How can you be sure that it will work elsewhere without actually having at
least one more platform to test it on? Preferably big-endian (to contrast
little-endianess of x86) and running different operating system.

Bye, Dragan

After visiting the site I recommend you add "that we're planning to
sell" just to avoid any possible unpleasantness.

What salary/hourly rate are you offering to the people whose time will
be used in furthering your business plan, or were you hoping people
would offer to test your product for free?

The porting task would probably be easier had you started on a
platform other than Linux...

Exactly, Rich! For example, FreeBSD :)

P.S. I am being fairly serious. And I agree with Rich, indeed: in my
experience, porting _from_ Solaris or FreeBSD is substantially easier than
porting from Linux.

Only if you fall into the trap of using GNU extensions when developing
code on Linux. Even if developing on a non-Linux platform, using the
native compiler is recommended, since it often has quirks not present
in gcc.

Some people do seem to like working for free when it involves computers.
Indeed, your first paragraph makes very little sense unless you assumed
the OP was one such.
