I'm an avid BeOS user, and I thought I'd point out a few cross-platform issues with Zope's web interface: Under NetPositive (the BeOS web browser), the management interface acts as "view." What I mean by that is if I click on a folder (whatever/ manage_workspace) it redirects to the index_html file. If I manually type in whatever/manage_main, I can get there, but this is not automatic. Is this because NetPositive doesn't understand Javascript? Also, BeOS does have python 1.5.2, but Zope doesn't actually compile . Here's the relevant info: In file included from /boot/home/Desktop/Zope-2.0.1-src/pcgi/pcgi- wrapper.c:51: /boot/home/Desktop/Zope-2.0.1-src/pcgi/pcgi.h:59: sys/un.h: No such file or directory /boot/home/Desktop/Zope-2.0.1-src/pcgi/pcgi.h:60: sys/ipc.h: No such file or directory /boot/home/Desktop/Zope-2.0.1-src/pcgi/pcgi.h:61: sys/sem.h: No such file or directory In file included from /boot/home/Desktop/Zope-2.0.1-src/pcgi/pcgi- wrapper.c:51: /boot/home/Desktop/Zope-2.0.1-src/pcgi/pcgi.h:63: arpa/inet.h: No such file or directory make: *** [pcgi-wrapper.o] Error 1 Traceback (innermost last): File "/boot/home/Desktop/Zope-2.0.1-src/w_pcgi.py", line 111, in ? if __name__=='__main__': main(sys.argv[0]) File "/boot/home/Desktop/Zope-2.0.1-src/w_pcgi.py", line 104, in main import build_pcgi File "/boot/home/Desktop/Zope-2.0.1-src/inst/build_pcgi.py", line 97, in ? do('make') File "/boot/home/Desktop/Zope-2.0.1-src/inst/do.py", line 103, in do if i and picky: raise SystemError, i SystemError: 2 I don't know if it would be possible to port Zope to BeOS, but it would be a useful addition. For more information about BeOS, visit http:// www.be.com/ It has standard posix-like development tools like gcc, etc. My main concern is the web interface, as I currently have to go find a Windows machine to effectively mess with any Zope stuff.
