This should be a fairly simply job. I want the AI program N.I.C.O.L.E. compiled to run on windows. How much would you charge to compile the program so that I can run it on my windows vista machine? I have only basic computer skills, and would need it to run either out of the box, or after an install and/or some simple setting up (with detailed instructions). N.I.C.O.L.E. - "Nearly Intelligent Computer Operated Language Examiner" - NICOLE is a theory or experiment that if a computer is given enough combinations of how words, phrases and sentences are related to one another, it could talk back to you. N.I.C.O.L.E. can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nicole/ N.I.C.O.L.E. was written in C++ for linux, and I really want to talk to her. Thank you for your estimates. | |

Ok. It's designed for POSIX OS's apparently. So you could download Cygwin and try to compile it under that. That would be a good first attempt. If that fails, then it'd have to be a re-write of linux specific sections of code to make it Win32 compatible. | |

Thank Zaita, If I read it right (probly not), Cygwin is a linux emulater for window? I have fidora installed in a VM already. I have also tryed to put this program together in suse, fidora, DSL embedded, and gentoo. I still have DLS embedded on a flash drive, very handy. But my linux skills are well below noob. I have readed a linux beginners tutorial, and I followed the instrustions in N.I.C.O.L.E. Still now luck getting her to talk to me. Now I would like to hire some 1 to do it for me. I am sure it is not a difficult task for some1 with the right skills. | |

You do realize the project hasn't been updated in 7 years. Most of the Linux libraries used to develop it are probably no longer backwards compatible. If you wanted to try it under Linux, I'd suggest a distro from about 2001 (maybe something like Slackware 7 or Redhat 7.2) | |

| Thank your Zaita. I know its old, but it still sound like fun. Hadnt thot about using an old distro. Thanks for the idea, Ill try it out. | |

Hi Cerbitos, amount of effort in porting can vary a lot. You cannot tell until you have spent time looking at code and trying. I would take a risk and try porting it to Windows if you can pay $2000 in case of success. And, it will likely be porting to cygwin. | |
