Endo 18-Jul-2013 [2073] | created by *LOAD* only once , Ok I got it now. Thanks for the explanation. |
Janko 18-Jul-2013 [2074x2] | I have a question about timezones. I need to make a selector for workonomic where user can set the TimeZone Like "Europe/Ljubljana" instead of TZ offset which changes between summer/winter time depending on the timezone etc.. |
I assume rebol doesn't have "Labeled Timezon => current offset" capability so I am wondering if anybody had to do this and what (s)he found the best solution was? I see two ways, using external service in a lang that has such database/library (like php's ) or using the OS below (from bash) "TZ=":Pacific/Auckland" ; date +%z" ... also is there anything still I can do inside rebol, like getting some prefilled sqlite db using some lib I don't know of.. | |
Gregg 18-Jul-2013 [2076] | QTask may have solved this, and the source should be available somewhere. It might have been Bolek that worked on it, but I can't remember. |
Gabriele 20-Jul-2013 [2077] | Yes, it's in Qtask source. I used a script to translate the TZ database to REBOL, then made a REBOL function to convert between timezones. Note, if you are using MySQL, you can have it handle timezone conversions too. |
Janko 20-Jul-2013 [2078] | Thanks Gabriele, I found by googling that mysql can have timezone database installed and has the functions to handle it then. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/805538/in-mysql-caculating-offset-for-a-time-zone (the second answer, with a link of how to install if anyone else will be looking) |
Reichart 21-Jul-2013 [2079] | :) |
Gerard 27-Jul-2013 [2080] | I always found I was missing some foundation about this Rebol's behaviour. I have to note it elsewhere in my own documentation system as to be able to report it someday when I'll be publishing some formal learning material about Rebol, Red and other Rebol-inspired languages. Thanks. |

Sujoy, I've also had problems loading my cURL extension library | |
It seems to depend on the R3 version and the Linux system | |
Have you tried the latest community R3 build? If that doesn't work, perhaps Carl's last release? | |
These problems seem quite random, so I don't feel like doing more work on R3 extensions in C. I'm having similar problems with Red extensions for different R3 versions, but at least it solves most of the dependency problems with different Linuxes | |
If all else fails, you need to compile the cURL extension on your system from the C source code | |
You have a better chance of me seeing such a question if you pose it in !R3 Extensions | |
caelum 2-Aug-2013 [2088] | When R3 was open sourced, I presume the SDK was not also open sourced? I am looking for the 'C' source code for the RSA, AES and Blowfish encryption functions. |
PeterWood 2-Aug-2013 [2089] | The SDK is only for REBOL2, which was not open sourced. |
Arnold 2-Aug-2013 [2090:last] | To find source codes, you will need to search with google or so. "blowfish source code c" first result looks promising http://www.schneier.com/blowfish-download.html |
