Okay. And the same is true of macOS; they use LibreSSL. We also use libpng, libgif, libjpeg, etc. and of course WebKit for the web browser. Nobody is claiming that this is a 100%-from-scratch-no-reuse-allowed project. What's your point?
- wadera 6y agoTo use Haiku in a decent way (not complete, but close enough), you need to use all the Qt and other ported software. So your arguments don't stand.
- waddlesplash 6y agoMy main development VM for Haiku has no Qt software, or even the Qt libraries, installed. I'm using native apps for code editing, debugging, error messages, etc. So that's not quite true. I'm not sure what arguments I made "don't quite stand" simply because you need to use Qt apps. In fact I was arguing that using Qt apps is perfectly alright! LibreOffice is not "native" on Windows or macOS, but people still use it there, yes?
- wadera 6y agoWhat? Are you really using the OS you are developing in a VM? And we should think you are serious.
- waddlesplash 6y agoUh, both of my main machines have bare-metal installs and I do develop from them. But when you are doing kernel development, it's much easier to "unbrick" a VM than bare metal, yes?
- wadera 6y agoEveryone can read clearly it's your main installation.
- waddlesplash 6y agoI'm glad you know more about how I use Haiku than I do. /s
- anthk 6y agoThe Be/Haiku GUI doesn't use QT at all.
