I was wondering what the demand for new, fresh linux battle.net bots is lookin' like? How many people actually use linux to run bots and/or looks for bots that work under linux? Just curious.

I use JavaOp2 in Linux, that's about it.

Was thinking more along the lines of C, avoiding the Java mess.

I have a (rather old and slow, but eh) NetBSD machine and have access to a FreeBSD machine. I know they're not Linux, but I would be interested in running a bot on either/both of them.

Besides Java, the only bot I know of is zdsbot, or something like that.  But I don't know how well, if at all, it's being maintained anymore. 
This'll make an interesting test for broken AV:

If it'll be open-source, then well, have at it. ;)

There's no point in creating a battle.net bot now days without  it being open source. Everything is already at everyones fingertips - they just have to piece it together. heh. Ofcourse it'll be public domain.

Open source does not mean public domain.

Anyways, I've gotten bored and want to develop a new bot, preferably with GTK. Right now I'm looking at gtkmm with C++. GTK# seems like another alternative, but debugging is horrible under linux.

It'll be open source, similar to Prolix albeit a lot prettier. If anyone is interested feel free to contact me.

I would be very interested in a *nix bot to run that's fairly uptodate with the current status of bnet..

*zds is open source and somewhat maintained..
Prolix is the alternative next project the creater of zds moved onto ..
Which is on sourceforge.net I believe, can find links there(may have to dig around) to the site|person who is maintaining zds now.

At the risk of this being seen as nothing more than shameless self promotion, I'm writing a b.net library in C++ for FreeBSD.  Not enough hours in the day means relatively slow development, but it's development none the less.  I'm sure once it got to the point of being usable, all it would take to make it compile under linux would be some simple #ifdefs for correct headers.

Lies!  I got pretty good at gdb back in the day, but I don't really remember it anymore.  There are lots of gui-front-ends to it (xxgdb is one), which let you make use of gdb's power with a prettier interface.

you took it out of context.

I meant debugging C# is horrible under linux.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand C# to be specifically tailored for Microsoft's .NET API?

At least, that's the only platform I've ever heard of C# being used with.
