 🧸: installation of bear would fail for Windows [🇷 for BE/BA]

Dear all bear users,

Since the file depository site for the GUI (GTK2) pre-compiled tarballs has been banned for unknown reasons, the installation of bear for Windows OS (10/11) would fail. I found this myself two days ago. I will try to find another file depository site or a smart way to host these GUI files ASAP. What I was planning now: buy a mini-PC (have to keep it powered on), install Debian Linux, and use the Apache2 package to set up a homemade web server. How does it sound? Anyway, sorry about the inconvenience. I will make an announcement here once I fix the issue. Thanks for your reading.

All the best,

 🪶 Apache

Hi Yung-jin,

in my CRO I had the Apache on HP-UX serving our Windows clients.
Be prepared for occasional hiccups requiring a restart. Instead of an own dedicated server running 24/7, I would opt for a provider.

 🪶 Apache

Hi Helmut,

Great and many thanks. I will try both Apache and Nginx. And then pick one. It will be a very simple web server just for the purpose of hosting files.

All the best,

 📣 : 🧸 installation for Windows is back.

Dear all,

Bear installation for Windows 10/11 is back to normal. I just uploaded the updated "preinst.r" and "bw_preinst.r" (under bear directory) to SourceForge. Please check the download site (or my signature panel below if you don't know where it was). I cannot put any URL here. Sorry about this. Thanks for your patience.

All the best,
