Rating: Summary: Excellent book, a must have for any serious porter. Review: I was very impressed with this book. It explains almost everything what is needed to know to port Unix/posix applications to BeOS. The title is somewhat misleading though, this book would be useful for anybody who is interesting in writing applications for BeOS. The differences between Un*x and BeOS makefiles, C, C++, system layouts and standard headers are covered. Also configuration scripts (shell scripts), posix compliance and native BeOS calls. The author also gives quick overview of what tools are (and are not) available and how to use them. So, everybody from old Unix hackers to absolute beginners should benefit from this book. The only problem is that this book is already out of date. Since it's publishing Be has moved from the Metrowerks Intel compiler to the Gnu-based egcs, wich is not covered in this book.
Rating: Summary: Too many words, too little time! Review: If this book was a movie, it would never be released on tape. The author missed a big opportunity by releasing such a superficial work. Definitely not recommended. Readers, please don't run away from the BeOS. Just choose your reading material wisely!
