This is a preliminary release of Haptik for GNU/Linux, mostly aimed at public beta testing.
It still lacks many features if compared to the Windows version.
Most of these will be filled before final release.
Following is a list of current open issues:

• There is no automatic checking for newer versions.
• Error is reported to user through console I/O i.e. You have to always check the log file.
• Phantom devices are not yet enumerated and reported device info are uncomplete.
• Dual devices are not supported for phantom devices, but this is actually a limitation of OpenHaptics for Linux.
• due to differences between Visual C++ and GCC in handling void pointers the FUNCTION_ADDRESS() macro is provided to use procedure callbacks.

Callbacks are implemented using timings facilities provided by native APIs or by accessing the /dev/rtc device through the librtctimer library, but we plan to include support for RTAI as soon as possible.

Currently the GNU/Linux version is provided in source-form only from the download section.
Make sure to read carefully included readme files before running anything!
Sources have been tested using gcc 4.0 on a Kubuntu distro.
A precompiled binary release will be provided as soon as the port will be considered completed.

Special thanks go to Mario Vigliar for providing knowledge and support on linux programming.
