The on wire protocol is pure ascii, and fairly simple. Given that hb_gui runs fine on windows, I don't think there's big problems to port it to OSX. > --binghe > >> has anybody built the heartbeat GUI client for OSX? >> >> looking at the dependencies, it looks like it should be fairly easy to do. >> i'd really prefer to just build the GUI client instead of trying to build >> the entire heartbeat package, but i'm unsure how to do that. if anybody has >> an pointers on how to accomplish this, i'd love to hear them! >> >> even better would be a heartbeat-gui Fink package, but that's just me >> dreaming ;) >> _______________________________________________ >> Linux-HA mailing list >> Linux-HA@lists.linux-ha.org >> http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha >> See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems > > _______________________________________________ > Linux-HA mailing list > Linux-HA@lists.linux-ha.org > http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha > See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems > _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list Linux-HA@lists.linux-ha.org http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
