Adobe In Fear of Finger Pointing! --- Avoiding the Censorship (photoshop-free linux)
[WITH RAISED HAND]
This is my favorite line of the post:
"[Edit: a portion of this post was removed. Please do not personally attack anyone, including Adobe employees.]"
Apparently, "Not Adobe" (sarcasm) is so paranoid that they need to censor out things that might make them look bad, not that they need any help on that front. The appalling thing is, why not support a platform that clearly has tens of thousands of users that would purchase their software? Unless of course, someone is giving that "special somebody" (sarcasm again) a fat chunk of change to deliberately NOT support a platform in fear that it might further cause harm to that "special someone's" platform. And when I say special someone, I do NOT mean Microsoft or Apple (wink wink!).
At this point in time, its pretty easy to make cross platform software, what with Qt and cross-platform compilers. I'm sure that they have at least one or two lead programmers that could whip up a port in a matter of months and even get it releasable by the end o
According to [this snapshot][1] they do, but how they do is beyond me. I have tried building all the suggested versions from SO, of course I used the first ones that came with Ubuntu 13.10 LTS, and then read that I should use different ones (you can find out, there is not much about this on google or SO, and what there is seems to not work at least for me).
Is there anyone out there that has actually had bashdb and DDD working together as that screenshot suggests? I have been able to get it to 'not' show that 'Bash could not be started' dialog, which you get if you try to do it the 'right way' by specifying the --debugger, however, it then just freezes up, doesn't load the source file, and endlessly says 'opening session xxxx..' OR it crashes telling me I found a bug in DDD.
It's hard to think that this is the fault of DDD because EVERY other debugger works perfect for me in DDD, just not bashdb. And I have tried MANY different builds (versions is more like it since there is no compiling really) of bashdb.
