Bonjour Sylvain,
> I'm curious, why don't you port your application ?
Well, not sure I get your question, but here's the context.
I develop a manufacturing system for a customer. This *must* run on Windows (I'd
love the to use Linux but well, I'm sure you're aware of the
linux-on-the-desktop story :-) ).
I develop most of the time on Windows but being an idealist, I'd like two things
:
- I'd like my software to run on Linux (which it does, provided some careful
handling of portability issues; thansk to PySide/python, etc this is quite
easy).
- I'd like to develop my software on Linux (even if its end target is Windows).
Now, you could say that since the target is windows, it's safer/more economical
to do the actual testing on Windows. In practice, I spent 95% of my time in that
situation.
However, there's something practical here. My application is a typical fat
client/server one. It is deployed at my customer's premise which is behind a
firewall. Since I work 100km away from him, we have established a secure
connection between the server and me. That server runs linux. From time to time
I want to check that the fat-client behaves correctly once run in the customer's
network. So what I do is that I deploy my fat-client over the server and test it
there. Since the server is the only machine I have access to and it runs linux,
my fat-client must run on Linux as well if I want to be able to do my tests.
You see ?
