Hello, I am sorry about my English, but it's not my original language. I would like to encourage you on developing a Linux version of your Excellent program. I used to use you program in Windows and I think it would be a good idea of using it on my linux system. Thank you

Yes I agree with you. It will be a great project!!!
But normaly, the version 4 will be open source so with borland kylix, it's possible!!!
I don't know the opinion of antp but I think it well a GREAT IDEA!!! :up:

(Sorry for my English :hum: )

I do not have time to work on a Linux version, but as yoda_81fr said version 4 will be open source (GPL) so if somebody can make a Linux version.
I try to make for this version 4 all the internal list management better separated from interface, so the one that will have to make Linux version will only have to modify the interface (the only special thing I use for internal list management, I think, is the XML parser from JVCL which works fine in Kylix).
I guess that current version should run under Wine, but I was unable to get Wine working on my Redhat 8 so I could not test :/

linux ver got my vote

HI!

i love ant movie cat...but i don't know how to code :(
anyone out there who is willing to convert this fantastic prog over to linux gets my vote for president :grinking:
esp with my fears over winxp's self-help crap. don't want no m$ trojans, virus or dodgy drivers recking my hardware.
until then, must try wine on my new linux flavour and cope

regards from the U.K.
and i apologise beforehand if this is the wrong topic/thread

I have tried Wine and Ant Movie Catalog in Mandrake 10. It works except the scripts :cry: .
I hope anyone can export this incredible program to Linux. Your program is now the only reason for me to enter on my windows partition.
Congratulations my friend. Excellent idea and excellent program.
Greetings from Spain.

It is strange that the scripts do not work :??:
What happens exactly ?

You can also try XAMC which is a rewrite of AMC made in Python.

Hello ;)

AMC perfectfully works with wine on my Linux
(of course, i've had to recompile wine by myself)

And I develop some script for AMC with my Linux

So it is possible and it works (try to recompile wine from the sources)

Hello ;)

As a linux user, I will try to compile the sources with
  • kylyx (bordland product)
  • GPC - Gnu Pascal Compiler which support some Delphi
  • and I've heard about PascalFree
If I succeed in such compilations, I promise U will know that

PS : a group has tried AMC for linux called XAMC (a sourceforge project), however they have all recode, they begin from scratch, that's why the name differ

You won't be able to compile the program directly.
All the user interface is made with VCL (based on Win32), and Kylix only has CLX (based on QT).
So you at least have to remake the user interface.
But the program is not made well enough to make this easily I think :/

Hi guys. I can say AMC 3.5.0 (and its scripts) runs on Linux, but the gui doesn't render well :(
There's a new port using python and qt called moviefly, but it's still in development.
