So I am preparing for a contracting gig that’s coming up.
I will be doing R&D and helping create a web app for an internal project at a large corporation.
Cappuccino came to mind, because it was mentioned during the phone screen, by the hiring person.
So I am playing around with this again, for the first time since 2010.
And I see that the developers are so fixated on working on Mac’s and OSX that the bootstrap.sh script they distribute on their site won’t even work on other flavors of linux, like my Ubuntu 11.10 server system.
Seems like they are working themselves into a corner. Whats the point of making something open source, if you must have a Mac in order to develop on it.
curl https://raw.github.com/cappuccino/cappuccino/v0.9.5/bootstrap.sh >/tmp/cb.sh && sh /tmp/cb.sh
/tmp/cb.sh: 3: Syntax error: “(” unexpected
robert@winwinhost:~$ sh /tmp/cb.sh
/tmp/cb.sh: 3: Syntax error: “(” unexpected
Is what I am getting on my Ubuntu box.
But the install has seemed to work just fine on my CentOS server.
