Towards a standalone application

   

The Bol Processor BP3 is cur­rent­ly com­prised of a con­sole (writ­ten in C lan­guage) and a set of PHP/HTML/CSS/Javascript files that act as its inter­face. A con­sole ver­sion of Csound can also be attached. For detailed instal­la­tion instruc­tions, please refer to the Bol Processor ‘BP3’ and its PHP inter­face page.

It all works beau­ti­ful­ly in a design that is com­pat­i­ble with mul­ti­ple 64-bit sys­tems: MacOS, Linux and Windows. However it does require the instal­la­tion of an Apache+PHP pack­age to run the inter­face. (We are cur­rent­ly using the free ver­sion of MAMP on Mac com­put­ers to devel­op the BP3 interface.)

The next phase of the project will involve the cre­ation of a stand­alone appli­ca­tion that will replace the web brows­er and its asso­ci­at­ed PHP/HTML/CSS files. The appli­ca­tion will also be avail­able in three ver­sions, for Linux, MacOS and Windows.

This step is with­in our reach using the PHP Desktop plat­form. Versions in MacOS and Windows are already up and run­ning, but there are still a few issues that need to be resolved to reach the state of a distribution.
