I've completed the posix port of unununium and comitted it to the
mainline darcs repository.
To build it, grab the sources from darcs, and run 'scons'. Execute
install/unununium. Without oskit, the first-try build success rate
should be about a million times higher. Please give this a try,
especially if you are running something other than linux. Supporting
darwin and cygwin would be nifty.
The good part of this is there is no more oskit, no more crashing, and
no more being limited by the absence of basic device drivers. Now we can
think about interesting problems like designing an orthogonally
persistent OS.
The bad part is that Unununium really doesn't do anything now. I think
tonight I'll try writing some reincarnation of hydro3d. Expect
stereoscopic rendering :)
On a more useful note, I'd like to maintain at least one other supported
platform. This could be either the existing oskit stuff, or a new effort
to support hardware directly, or another OS like native win32. It
doesn't much matter what it is, but doing this will help keep interfaces
portable. Any volunteers?
