Robert 3-Dec-2009 [3347x3] | Correct, I just need a simple (not much to configure) system so that I can compile some code, that will than be transfered to my server system. I avoid compiling on my server. |
On the server I use EisXen. Sof far OK, but the update/upgrade route is bad. | |
I would like to switch to debian but don't know how I can do this on a running system... | |
Kaj 3-Dec-2009 [3350] | If you can get away with introducing binaries from other systems... They can easily become incompatible. One thing that may help is to choose an older distro to compile on |
Alan 4-Dec-2009 [3351] | Robert: I use Ultimate Edition 2.3, it can boot to KDE or Gnome. If I can set it up and run and compile on it, any body can :) |
Robert 7-Dec-2009 [3352] | Ok. I found a how-to for changing the distro on a live system via SSH. I think I will give it a try over the "clam x-mas days". Than I have enough time to fix it if I screw things up. |
Kaj 7-Dec-2009 [3353] | Interesting, where is that? |
Robert 8-Dec-2009 [3354] | http://www.goudkov.com/ |
Henrik 8-Dec-2009 [3355] | Chrome for Linux beta has been released. |
Henrik 15-Dec-2009 [3356x2] | Installing Jolicloud on a netbook, that I borrowed. We'll see how well it works... |
well, that was it. now it's uninstalled, which was the best part. | |
Maxim 15-Dec-2009 [3358x2] | don't you love how everyone is suddenly copying the iphone? and that it basically uses the paradigm of windows 1.0 , just with prettier graphics. :-D |
the wheel of technology... round and round it goes ;-) | |
Henrik 15-Dec-2009 [3360] | Actually i thought it was a clone of the iPhone, but it turned out to be a thin shell above Ubuntu with a less usable browser and Gnome windows constantly popping up in a jarring way above the UI. I hate these papermaché solutions that only superficially tries to do something for usability. |
Claude 15-Dec-2009 [3361] | someone test the new linux host kit of carl ? |
Gabriele 16-Dec-2009 [3362] | Henrik, did you try Moblin? |
Henrik 16-Dec-2009 [3363] | No, I did not. |
Luis 16-Dec-2009 [3364] | Where Can I Download the linux host kit? |
Maxim 16-Dec-2009 [3365] | you must ask carl, on R3 devchat |
Kaj 16-Dec-2009 [3366] | I'm testing the Linux host kit. Anything you want to know? |
Luis 17-Dec-2009 [3367] | I am interested in Rebol on ARM Android platforms. |
Pekr 17-Dec-2009 [3368] | Kaj - I want to know, if 'call command is part of the core, or the host. Because its current implementation sucks big time and I want /wait and /output refinements back :-) |
PeterWood 17-Dec-2009 [3369] | The Linux version of R3 of call has the /wait option by default :-( |
Pekr 17-Dec-2009 [3370] | uh, that should be ... reported :-) |
PeterWood 17-Dec-2009 [3371] | I reported the problem for OS X - #914 - as far as I know its the same code on Linux. |
Pekr 17-Dec-2009 [3372] | mine is here - http://curecode.org/rebol3/ticket.rsp?id=1223&cursor=26 |
Kaj 17-Dec-2009 [3373x4] | So far, R3 for Linux is only there for 32 bits x86 |
If you're willing to test the host kit, I think Carl will be willing to bump the priority for other architectures | |
CALL having /WAIT hardwired is better than the reverse. Without /WAIT it's useless in most cases | |
You'll have to upgrade to Linux, Petr ;-) | |
Pekr 17-Dec-2009 [3377] | ... or stay with R2 :-) |
Maxim 17-Dec-2009 [3378] | now now pekr... I'll hold you to it... as you said before, everyone should use R3... ;-) |
Kaj 17-Dec-2009 [3379x2] | Ah, calls to the standard C system() function are in src/os/posix/host-lib.c |
Maxim, I didn't want to remind Petr :-) | |
Maxim 17-Dec-2009 [3381] | hehehe I keep reminding... I just like to rub his face in it everytime he mentions R2 ;-) |
Kaj 17-Dec-2009 [3382x10] | Very good :-) |
OS_Create_Process simply does | |
system(call); | |
OS_Browse does | |
system(cmd) | |
with a constructed URL | |
Both have an extra | |
int reserved | |
parameter, so presumably that would have to contain a code for the REBOL refinement | |
It's not clear how you could use that to implement complex refinements such as /output | |
Maxim 17-Dec-2009 [3392x2] | its possible Carl left some things for further consideration... we did pressure him into releasing sooner than later. |
call refinements would sit in well with something easily left for later. | |
Kaj 17-Dec-2009 [3394x2] | Well, quite a bit of extra consideration is needed here. There are no error codes returned, either |
Problem with the parameters is that the host interface will change when added later | |
Pekr 17-Dec-2009 [3396] | Maxim - you are off once again ... |
