Cool. Is that an unmodified Linux target?
I mean, would it run on other Linux ARM machines?
Andreas

Yes :)
That's Red/System's vanilla Linux-ARM target, for which we now have 
basic library imports working.

That's great
Is there still GTK on MeeGo, or did they drop it completely for Qt?
Andreas

[3877x2]
purely qt. i didn't yet look if the gtk libs are even available at 
all.
makes ui bindings extremely annoying, unfortunately. but a simple 
wrapper that bootstraps you into GL might be an option.

Bummer. I'd hate to do all bindings double
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MeeGo#Handset
The Handset UX is based on Qt, but GTK+ and Clutter will be included 
to provide compatibility for Moblin applications.

meego is dead in the water anyway, i fear
intel and nokia split up. intel's way forward is now called "tizen"

GTK support seems to depend on the device, and not include the N9
Andreas

[3885x3]
the n9 is not really "full" meego
it's a maemo/meego mix nokia dubs "meego/harmattan"
but the nokia side of things is unfortunately all rather dead now

Tizen will probably include Samsung's reference platform, which includes 
GTK
And Clutter, and EFL... What a mess
Andreas

Just checked, the only parts of GTK that remain on a stock N9 are 
glib and pango.

Switching to Cheyenne project until Saturday, I will do a Cheyenne 
presentation at a PHP event in France on friday, so I need to get 
prepared.

Doc, reading a twitter message - congrats to finishing ARM port stage 
:-)
Dockimbel

Well, there's still the fun part to do: debugging ;-)
(that's why I've left the progress bar at 90% in the Roadmap: http://www.red-lang.org/p/roadmap.html)
From REBOL School channel discussion: .Net support for Red is planned 
after JVM support, which will be most probably done in 2012.
I'd like to make the JVM port before the rewrite of Red/System in 
Red, as doing so will certainly require some deep adjustments to 
Red/System compiler and linker, so better have it experienced before 
the rewrite.
experienced: experimented

I've tried including two bindings in one program that both include 
the C library binding, and I can't get it to do a single pass over 
the nested include, either with relative or absoltue paths to the 
C library binding
The first thing it bombs out on is a #L marker that it seems to insert 
into the source to mark line numbers (even though I didn't do a debug 
build)

I will a look at it today.
Kaj: I have just pushed a fix for the problem you've reported.

Great, thanks!

I can confirm that including multiple times works now on Linux
Particularly, Mike's case of using both GTK and 0MQ works now
The WebKit binding is now here:

Implemented a separate SCROLL widget in the GTK binding, that can 
be used as a container for other suitable widgets to make them scrollable

Red/System can now compile hello.reds (including the Red/System runtime) 
for ARM, and the resulting binary works fine.
Kaj

[3911]
That's ARMv5, isn't it, not ARMv7? On what targets does it and does 
it not run?
Dockimbel

[3912]
It should work fine on all ARM9+ CPUs, which is pretty much any ARM 
platform used these days.
Andreas

[3913]
ARMv5, yes. Should work on ARMv5+.

For ppl non-familiar with ARM naming conventions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture#ARM_cores
Andreas

So on ARM9, ARM11, Cortex A.
Cores, that is.
As Doc said, that covers most ARM systems in use today (except for 
the original StrongARM (historic; for those who happen to own an 
Apple Newton or Compaq iPAQ) and the current Cortex M microcontroller 
cores.

Red/System hello.reds now runs also on Android. If you have a rooted 
device, you can get and run the binary from here: http://sidl.fr/tmp/hello

is there any other possibility than using rooted device?
