SidecarForLinux

A hack of the unix software (started with the IRIX version) to make sidecar work under linux. (RobinsonTryon)

UPDATE:

As some of you know, we've been unable to get the source code to sidecar released, and so we're writing a new version. Information about this task, including my notes on how to reverse engineer legally? can be found on the Sidecar for Linux Developer Page.

    -- Robinson Tryon

• The (proprietary version?) of the software is working quite well, and I'm currently doing some testing under different linux systems. (this version will be dropped when we get our open source version working properly)

Documentation

• SidecarForLinuxInstallInstructions -- they're a little rough, but useable :)

Developer Pages

• SidecarForLinuxDeveloperPage -- information about the port from the IRIX version to Linux version.
• SidecarForLinuxBetaTesting
• SidecarForLinuxGUI --- we're starting on a GUI to make things easier. This should tie in w/ a kerberos GUI, I hope.

Source Code

• I still need to check about the licensing of this stuff... I think all of the stuff that I built from is public domain, in which case I can post it here.
• UPDATE: the source code is currently not going to be released as OpenSource. For further information, contact linux@dartmouthNOSPAM.edu, or come to one of the DartmouthLinuxGroup's WeeklyMeetings.

Binaries, etc...

• Currently all of the software is downloadable from http://northstar-www.dartmouth.edu/~qubit/sidecar/
  (once we get a dedicated ftp server for Linux/Free software projects/etc... we'll move all of this stuff over to that box.

The "About" box

• Big thanks to ResearchComputing, RichardBrittain, and JosephHill.
