> could you elaborate on that? The Pike 7.7 package no longer needs perl, libperl, libreadline or libpng.

I'd like a small change to Calendar.Language done:
by Erik Dahl, roxen ＠ Pike developers forum 09 Aug '06

09 Aug '06

I need some way to retrieve the language of a Calendar object, in order to e.g. encode it. I would like to add a constant for each cFOO class in Calendar.pmod/Language.pmod. My wanted change in Calendar.pmod/Language.pmod looks like the following (shortened here since there are many small changes): class cISO { constant name = "eng"; class cSWEDISH { constant name = "swe"; [...] class cLATVIAN { constant name ="lav"; class cLATVIAN_UNICODE { constant name ="lav"; class cSERBIAN { constant name ="srp"; class cSERBIAN_UNICODE { constant name ="srp"; So the following code will retrieve the ISO 639-2 string of the language the Calendar object is using the new property of the Language object: > Calendar.Minute m = Calendar.set_language("swe")->Minute(); > string cal_name = m->language()->name; > Calendar.Hour h = Calendar.set_language(cal_name)->Hour(); The default language will be "eng" on most systems. > Calendar.Second()->language()->name; (4) Result: "eng" Since I do not have cvs access, I can supply a diff file, it is done against latest 7.7 source snapshot. What do you guys say?

Further CVS conversion adventures

Ok, one can of CC to whomever that can explain this: pelix:~% co -p1.119 /pike/data/cvsroot/Pike/7.0/src/las.c,v > apa /pike/data/cvsroot/Pike/7.0/src/las.c,v --> standard output revision 1.119 pelix:~% co -p1.119 /pike/data/cvsroot/Pike/7.2/src/las.c,v > bepa /pike/data/cvsroot/Pike/7.2/src/las.c,v --> standard output revision 1.119 pelix:~% gdiff -u apa bepa --- apa Sun Aug 6 13:19:32 2006 +++ bepa Sun Aug 6 13:19:38 2006 @@ -2055,8 +2055,8 @@ push_type(T_VOID); /* not varargs */ push_type(T_MANY); function_type_max=0; + s = pop_type(); low_build_function_type(CDR(n)); - push_type(T_FUNCTION); s=pop_type(); f=CAR(n)->type?CAR(n)->type:mixed_type_string; n->type=check_call(s,f); pelix:~% Now, version 1.119 is _well_ before the 7.0/7.1 split (which happens around 1.174-1.179 somewhere), so how can there be a difference? Did someone introduce a change in las.c by simply editing the last version in the ,v file? When _should_ this change happen?

dlmalloc
by Martin Stjernholm, Roxen IS ＠ Pike developers forum 05 Aug '06

05 Aug '06

I just committed Doug Lea's malloc implementation to 7.7 to be used foremost on Windows since the OS malloc sucks there. I hope there shouldn't be any legalese complication with this. It's been put in the public domain through <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain>.

Configuration loop in bundles
by Martin Stjernholm, Roxen IS ＠ Pike developers forum 05 Aug '06

05 Aug '06

The configure stuff to setup the bundles can easily get into an infinite loop if there's an error in the configure script. This is especially bothersome because it causes xenofarm clients to hang. A recent example: configure: configuring in modules configure: running /bin/sh '/home/build/xenofarm/client/pike-7.7/kali.roxen.com/buildtmp/Pike-v7.7-snapshot/src/modules/configure' CC=rntcl --cache-file=.././config.cache --srcdir=/home/build/xenofarm/client/pike-7.7/kali.roxen.com/buildtmp/Pike-v7.7-snapshot/src/modules configure: loading cache .././config.cache /home/build/xenofarm/client/pike-7.7/kali.roxen.com/buildtmp/Pike-v7.7-snapshot/src/modules/configure: syntax error at line 3: `MOD_LDSHARED=${MOD_LDSHARED=\$' unexpected configure: configuring in post_modules configure: running /bin/sh '/home/build/xenofarm/client/pike-7.7/kali.roxen.com/buildtmp/Pike-v7.7-snapshot/src/post_modules/configure' CC=rntcl --cache-file=.././config.cache --srcdir=/home/build/xenofarm/client/pike-7.7/kali.roxen.com/buildtmp/Pike-v7.7-snapshot/src/post_modules configure: loading cache .././config.cache /home/build/xenofarm/client/pike-7.7/kali.roxen.com/buildtmp/Pike-v7.7-snapshot/src/post_modules/configure: syntax error at line 3: `MOD_LDSHARED=${MOD_LDSHARED=\$' unexpected ################################################### # Extracting bundles... # Requested from: # ./post_modules/Nettle/nettle.bundle checking for bundle nettle... /home/build/xenofarm/client/pike-7.7/kali.roxen.com/buildtmp/Pike-v7.7-snapshot/bundles/nettle-1.14.tar.gz configure: WARNING: Bundle nettle already installed.

Re: new ground with windows
by Martin Stjernholm, Roxen IS ＠ Pike developers forum 02 Aug '06

I'm using VC8. I hope I haven't messed things up too badly for VC6, but I don't know whether the new --enable-dll thingie works there. I think the basic dll creation and loading stuff should be the same; the differences are rather how to package the MS CRT in the dist and the new manifest pling-plong goo. > /.../ I then tried VC2005, and And what? ;) > I also note that --with-debug and --enable-dll seem to be > incompatible, as configure bombs out when trying to test the compiler > in CommonLog (conftest doesn't run, it "fails to initialize properly"). I'm testing with --with-rtldebug --enable-dll which is practically the same thing since --with-cdebug is the default. That works fine. Have you tried building from scratch (i.e. after "make cvsclean")?
