http://blog.gwright.org.uk/articles/2008/01/04/working-on-nx-again en-us 40 Random bloggings of a clearly disturbed KDE geek <p>Today I start working for <a href="http://www.defuturo.co.uk">DeFuturo Ltd</a> on creating a cross platform NX client (GPL, of course) in Qt for their <a href="http://www.desktopondemand.com">Desktop on Demand</a> service. I must say I&#8217;m really happy to be working again on C++/Qt as GTK was starting to get to my head a bit!</p> <p>The ultimate goal of this project is to create a cross-platform client which can execute directly after downloading without the need to install it anywhere. However, at the moment I&#8217;m simply working on getting an open source client working for Linux, OS X and Windows.</p> <p>Yesterday I <a href="http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/freenx/qtnx/">committed</a> a version of QtNX that I&#8217;ve been hacking for the past couple of days which has now had its backend code updated to use Seb James&#8217; <a href="http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/freenx/nxcl">nxcl</a> client library instead of my ageing nxclientlib. I have confirmed that this works with nxproxy 3.1.0 and nxssh 3.1.0 for connecting to a NX 1.5.0 server, and I assume it works with NX 2.x and 3.x servers as well, but I don&#8217;t have access to any for testing at the moment. I will be working over the coming weeks on getting this to work with OS X and cygwin on Windows, as well as hopefully doing some code cleanups at the same time.</p> <p>All in all, I&#8217;m very pleased with this work and this should lead to some very nice and exciting changes in the NX client world!</p> Fri, 04 Jan 2008 15:39:00 +0000 urn:uuid:5b55f8dc-c8cb-4ea3-b4ba-15b85d500fdf gwright@kde.org (George Wright) http://blog.gwright.org.uk/articles/2008/01/04/working-on-nx-again KDE NX <p>Great news!</p> Sat, 05 Jan 2008 15:00:44 +0000 urn:uuid:4b1a956f-081e-45dc-be45-d1d4f5be35eb http://blog.gwright.org.uk/articles/2008/01/04/working-on-nx-again#comment-382 <p>If you&#8217;re looking for any ideas for extras, it would be great if you could come up with a usability testing package.</p> <p>see <a href="http://weblog.obso1337.org/2007/discuss-open-source-usability-testing-solutions/" rel="nofollow">http://weblog.obso1337.org/2007/discuss-open-source-usability-testing-solutions/</a></p> Fri, 04 Jan 2008 22:59:41 +0000 urn:uuid:5e00ad40-53a5-4b64-a35a-2e74f438b733 http://blog.gwright.org.uk/articles/2008/01/04/working-on-nx-again#comment-381 <p>Oh man, this is good news.
