If not, check out <a href="http://www.laptop.org">http://www.laptop.org</a> for more information. The reason why I'm mentioning it is simple, EiffelStudio is running on it.</p> <p>We received our test laptop last week and installed the standard delivery of EiffelStudio 6.0 for Linux-x86. See below for a picture of the laptop with EiffelStudio:</p> <p><a href="http://www.eiffelroom.org/node/218"><img src="http://www.eiffelroom.org/files/images/IMG_1262_small.JPG" title="The OLPC laptop without flash" width="200" height="" alt="olpc1" /></a> <a href="http://www.eiffelroom.org/node/219"><img src="http://www.eiffelroom.org/files/images/IMG_1267_small.JPG" title="The OLPC laptop with flash" width="200" height="" alt="OLPC2" /></a></p> <p>The only thing that we had to do was to use another window manager (twm in place of the sugar one which truncates the visible screen a little bit too much to see the whole EiffelStudio environment) and have our own .gtkrc-2.0 file to use a smaller font than the default for GTK.</p> <p>Note that to execute your systems, you also need to install a C compiler (tcc or gcc) as the laptop does not come with one. But you do not have to develop on the laptop, you can do like us, develop on Linux-x86 and simply copy the binary over the laptop.</p> <p>The specs of the laptop are 1GB of flash memory for the hard-drive and 256MB of RAM which is good enough for compiling some relatively large projects (1000 or more classes).</p> <p>Happy Eiffeling, Manu</p> http://www.eiffelroom.org/blog/manus_eiffel/eiffelstudio_and_olpc#comments EiffelStudio laptop Wed, 22 Aug 2007 14:44:25 -0700 manus_eiffel 217 at http://www.eiffelroom.org
