World: r3wp

what just happened with the     !REBOL3 Host Kit     world?

It was empty when I got here. :)

(note I wasn't blaming you... It just got flushed and no one noticed....)

Yeah, I thought it was strange as well. Thought I read a note from 
Carl somewhere about a restore with a corrupt file... possibly a 
casualty?

Just getting used to this AltMe thang myself.

if this group was corrrupt, this would be VERY bad ... please can 
someone confirm with Carl?

now back to discussion....

Carl doesn't come here very often.... I think someone in the "inner 
circle" should tell Carl to get in touch with you.

Henrik was the guy who told me to come here.

hehehe

I assume he is inner circle :)

yeah he is.

I can give you some general information about the host kit though...

Good stuff... I all I have read is what is on the r3 web site.

what I'd recommend is for you to get to grips with the MS build of 
the host & extension.   just to get it compile and understand the 
file structure.

good idea.. is there a link to the sources?

then, once carl or maybe henrik, gives you a link to a file with 
the Amiga stuff, you'll be in a much better position to port it.

dowload link for the latest public host-kit:  http://www.rebol.com/r3/downloads/r3-host-kit-a107.zip


this includes both MS and linux distros, note that the linux one 
doesn't have the required files for enabling the graphics on linux 
(they have yet to be attempted by anyone AFAIK).

back

Thanks for the link Maxim! I'll take a look into this more once I 
get to my real job... lol

hehe

your email lists you on a domain .ca... are you in canada? and if 
so where?  (if you don't mind)

I'm in the wild west Alberta.

cool, in Montreal myself

Another Canuck :-)

Seems smilies don't do much in AltMe.. (used to IRC)

Well, they smile :-)

So, what happened to the old messages in this group?

Several groups seem to have lost their content

On the day Carl stated working on backend servers...

The above host kit link doesn't do much good: it's Windows-configured, 
without interpreter libraries and makefiles for Amiga or Linux

remember that I talked about getting to grips with windows version 
first... which is the only one with graphics done.

;-)

OK, but you also said there was a Linux distro in there

Linux x86: http://www.rebol.com/r3/downloads/r3-core-a107-42.gz

Ah, cool

Place where I found that link: http://www.rebol.com/r3/changes.html

Thanks!

That's Core, though, not the host kit

I already had that through upgrade

Whoops.

So back to jail card

Wrong link: http://www.rebol.com/r3/downloads/r3-host-kit-a107-42.tar.gz

Same page though.

Holding my breath

The download locations seem to be protected by security through obscurity

Indeed.. I tried to find them myself but didn't think to look in 
changes.html

They are on the main changes page on REBOL.com, linked off their 
main page. This is not at all obscure.

Especially for a highly experimental release.
