I will be back to Red compiler as soon as I finish debugging the 
ARM backend.
I might start also working on floating point support but we'll see 
that tomorrow.

For anyone interested, here's a direct link to the GTK+ example that 
shows all currently implemented widgets:

I put alla files in red-system/tests, including Red-48x48.png. I 
got GTK-widgets.reds running, but with "Window: skipping missing 
icon.". Where do I put the PNG? As far as I see there is no path 
defined for this file in GTK-widgets.reds. Using Win7 (x64). I thought 
the icon would be built in the exe. I tried now to put the PNG in 
the same dir as the built exe and the icon shows, but I still got 
that DOS terminal to open. Sorry for stupid newbie questions.

For getting rid of the DOS console, you should compile using the 
following option: -t Windows
The default target on Windows for Red/System apps is MSDOS (console 
mode). When Red will be there, I guess we'll switch the default target 
to Windows (GUI mode).

The icon file should go in the directory where you start the executable 
from, so usually that would be the builds/ directory that Red creates 
within itself
Alternatively, you could add a path to the icon in the program
There are no facilities in Red yet to add resources within executable 
files

I think that reshacker tool should work for that: http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/

Yeah, but it's very system dependent

An executable resources handling module for Red/System linker would 
be nice, if someone is interested in contributing.

An alternative to ResHacker, XN Resource Editor, http://www.wilsonc.demon.co.uk/d10resourceeditor.htm
Windows only I think.

Implemented the ability to maximise or fullscreen a GTK window
I squeezed both maximising and resizing into the dialect, but the 
expressiveness is getting tight

IIRC, you'll present Red on 09/12? (Syllable conf?)

Are your bindings ready for the show?

I hope they will be ready for the show, but they don't exist yet 
:-)
Adrenalin is the best drug to make them on ;-)

By the way, I added an extra error message when the icon file cannot 
be loaded

I have a basic binding with OSM GPS Map working
A simple OpenStreetMap browser goes like this:
#include %OSM-GPS-Map.reds

gtk-view [
	gtk-maximize
	"OSM GPS Map Browser"
	osm-gps-map ogm-new-osd
]
I've got a basic binding with LibChamplain to work, too
The code for an OSM browser is very similar

The presentation of the map bindings at GeoFreedomDay went well - 
that is, after I could coerce my Linux to display on the beamer
People immediately came up with the standard question of "Why yet 
another language?", but when I showed the GUI dialect and compared 
it to conventional development, they recognised that something special 
was offered
I'll make some screenshots tomorrow

Response from Twitter: "Good job. This makes even butt-ugly Gtk look 
cool."
My thoughts exactly

It seems that float support is bothering more than one RED supporter 
here, so we will see what's Doc's decision towards the priorities, 
once Doc is back ...

I've got my WebKit browser to work on my graphical version of Syllable 
Server, so I'll start using it for real browsing tasks
I've moved the GLib binding in the GTK+ binding to a separate project, 
here:
http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-GLib
This is now needed by every GTK binding

For your information: A small code editor including lua scripting 
(GTK + scintilla bindings)
All sources included.
Low c footprint.
A good inspiration for further RED evolution.

Looks interesting, Steeve. Be sure to post what you find out about 
Textadept in the Editors group.
