missing widget

 in itself is already a bug. If it would recognise it as system/alias/gdk-image! 
 it would say "missing icon"

Ok, looking on that.

In my test program, gdk-image! is alias 1018, so 1005 seems way off

Yes, I have located the issue in compiler code, I am now looking 
for a durable fix.

Pushed a temporary new fix for #172, let me know if it works for 
you now.

Yes, thanks!

I've moved the GTK library initialisation into the binding, so that 
the explicit gtk-begin isn't necessary anymore; but it prevents using 
the workaround still needed for #129

I suppose local variables are not initialised?

Implemented attaching an object to a (button) action

Here's an example that gets input from a line entry field:

Red/System [ ]

#include %GTK.reds

button-pushed: function [
	[callback]
	widget				[gtk-widget!]
	data				[handle!]
][

 print ["Input: "  gtk-get-entry-text  as gtk-entry! data  newline]
]

input: field "Here"

gtk-view window [
	170 90  gtk-position-center
	"Red GTK+ Input Field"
	fixed [
		70 10  label "Input:"
		 5 30  input
		60 60  button [50 25  "OK"  :button-pushed input]
	]
]

Added a few more examples

Doc, the examples are now suitable for demonstrations, such as coming 
week

Nice!

adding some actions could be attractive for a demo

Sure, if you can double my hours in a day

Doc, the 0MQ binding still works, so you can use the request/reply 
example, on Linux or Windows

A fairly impressive demo is to start the client before the server

As soon as http://www.raspberrypi.org/will be available, the ARM 
emitter would be strongly necessary, Interresting toy for less than 
expected (if they keep promises)

unfortunatelly raspberrypi website is a mess

Yep, we're living in interesting times

The cURL binding still works, but I don't have a nice example for 
it yet

I've cleaned up my SDL binding; although sound still doesn't work. 
It's now here:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-SDL

I've added the PeterPaint example, with some more comments

It demoes mouse events, drawing, program arguments and loading a 
bitmap file

I've added a sample.bmp file from SDL for easy access

SDL can be demoed on Linux. I haven't tested on Windows yet, although 
it should at least almost work

Great, thanks!

You can put GTK and SDL on the website now, if you want

Sure, I will.

Is there an idiots guide for new users and developers?

Have you looked at the webiste - http://www.red-lang.org/- ?

I don't think there's a quide guide on getting started for people 
new to red and/or rebol ...

guide2 = quick guide

Red-SDL , and the PeterPaint example works under Windows XP apart 
from the name of the dll which is SDL.dll instead of libSDL-1.2.dll

Ah, that's a weird transformation. I'll add it. Thanks for testing!

Where did you get the Windows SDL binaries?

this isn't it ? http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php

Oh, I thought they didn't have ready made binaries :-)

I don't seem to have an unpacker for Mac disk images. Could somebody 
tell me the SDL library name in the DMG package?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Disk_Image

Yes, but I need information out of the SDL DMG

The page there refers to a number of "free" utils for unpacking dmg 
files .. though for windows

I tried Linux loop mounting and 7-Zip, but my versions don't seem 
to support DMG. It's just much easier if someone with a Mac has a 
quick look

I have a mac but daughter has password protected it .. and she no 
longer lives here!

Kaj: the lib name is SDL but when properly installed, it should be 
referenced as: /Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Versions/A/SDL

Graham: there's no such guide yet. You have a few basic instructions 
for installing Red/System and compiling the Hello script here: https://github.com/dockimbel/Red

Graham, use the password utility on the installation disk to reset 
it.

Doc, is that with .dylib or not?
