[edit] Purpose
This Wiki is a community documentation effort for:
- Users of LINA
- Developers writing projects for the LINA platform
- Contributors to the LINA project
[edit] What is LINA?
With LINA, a single executable written and compiled for Linux can be run with native look and feel on Windows, Mac OS X, and UNIX operating systems.
For more information see the openLINA.org homepage.
[edit] What's new in LINA 0.72?
LINA 0.72 includes a cross-platform installation solution that automatically generates installers for Windows, Mac OS X, and UNIX. In addition to creating universal Linux binaries, LINA can now produce platform-specific installers for those applications, so they can easily be installed by any end user.

[edit] Creating a LINA Installer for your Linux Application
LINA applications with installers can be easily generated using the linafy and openinstall commands. Documentation will be posted in the coming week.
[edit] Installing LINA from source
LINA is available as source code which has been tested on different platforms, including Ubuntu 7.04, Fedora 7, OpenSUSE 10.2, WindowsXP, Windows Vista, Windows 2003, and Mac OS X. Besides the source code used by LINA itself, a large number of Open Source tools developed by third parties are needed for the build. We have bundled these tools together into two compressed files which must to be downloaded in order to build LINA from source.
The 0.72 release of LINA includes binaries for "one-click" install of LINA on various platforms. These binaries are around 100MB in size - much smaller than all the code necessary to build LINA.
It is highly recommended that you use the LINA binaries to install LINA.
The following pages contain instructions for installing LINA from source on a variety of platforms:
- Installing from source on Windows
- Installing from source on Mac OS X
- Installing from source on Linux
- Installing from source on BSD
- Installing from source on Solaris
[edit] The LINA Roadmap
The current release of LINA is version 0.72. The LINA source code is frequently updated as we squash bugs and add new features. Below is a link to the LINA roadmap which describes the features to be included in our upcoming releases.
