Re: Playing music using pike and SDL.
by Martin Nilsson (lvl 60) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 13 Mar '26

Were you not able to get any C code to play through SDL either? Does your SDL library have a mixer compiled in it (I think it is optional)?

managing comport settings in linux
by Henrik Grubbstr�m (Lysator) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 13 Mar '26

13 Mar '26

Not a good idea; the design philosophy of Pike is that Pike-level code should never be able to cause memory corruption at C-level. With ioctls there's no way to know what data a specific ioctl wants without reading the documentation for that specific ioctl for that specific OS. ioctls and fcntls are a way for device handlers to hook in APIs that aren't standard across all filedescriptors. / Henrik Grubbström (Lysator) Previous text: >2004-08-17 13:32: >Subject: managing comport settings in linux >-------------------------------------------------------------------- >What would be nice, is a way to define ioctl methods in >Pike.

GTK2.TextBuffer
by Marcus Comstedt (ACROSS) (Hail Ilpalazzo!) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 18 Sep '10

18 Sep '10

I find the "len" parameter to some functions in GTK2.TextBuffer rather puzzling. set_text("abcdefghij", 7) - gives 7 characters in the buffer set_text("äbcdefghij", 7) - gives just 6 characters set_text("\u1d8fbcdefghij", 7) - down to 5 characters This seems like complete nonsense. Why do we require the parameter in the first place?

System.Inotify
by Arne Goedeke 28 Aug '10

28 Aug '10

I merged the Public.System.Inotify module into pike as System.Inotify. Its currently only in my git. You can fetch the branch called 'inotify' at http://laramies.com/git/pike/ I would like to commit this into cvs. However, it seems to me that the current policy is not to commit anything new until 7.9 is there? Also, right now it is seperate from the dnotify in Stdio. The inotify api is different from dnotify, so it might not be possible to merge that. All comments on the code welcome. arne

sqlite bug on Windows?
by Csürke Tamás 22 Aug '10

Hi! Pike programs (pike version 7.8.316) crash on Windows if I use sql insert with the builtin sqlite module (on Linux there is no problem). Maybe it is a bug? Cheers: Tamás

I just retyped the same command which fails in during pike7.8-core.postinst, except without "--distquiet". Commenting the command out in pike7.8-core.postinst let's pike install end normally. /Marc

I've reported this to debian, but maybe the dev-list can also shed some light on the the topic. On one system, pike7.8 from debian installs correctly. However on one other, using a AMD Geode processor (if that has anything to do with it), it fails while dumping. I get this when I do the following command by hand: #pike -x dump -r /usr/lib/pike7.8 Error in attached textfile.

pike7.8 7.8.352-dfsg-2
by Magnus Holmgren, Millnet/Lysator/Debian/Mensa ＠ Pike developers forum 16 Aug '10

I've finally uploaded pike 7.8 to unstable (despite the failure to dump dump.pike). The documentation handling will also have to wait. The set of meta packages is unchanged. Changes since 7.8.352-dfsg-1: * Add trigger for dumping of Pike modules when pike7.8-core or any module package is installed. * Remove support for the unversioned local module and include directories (/usr/local/lib/pike/*) to avoid having to coordinate their creation and removal by multiple versions. * Drop apparently obsolete build-dep libgtkhtml2-dev. * Don't run update-alternatives --remove on upgrade. * Exclude Tools.PV, which requires GTK (not GTK2). * debian/rules, unbreak_cross_compilation.dpatch: Use the right gcc and pass --host=$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE) to configure as necessary. Fix various bugs preventing cross compilation (Closes: #582242). Thanks to Marc Dirix. * Exclude modules GDK, Gnome, and GTKSupport, which also are for GTK+/Gnome 1.2, and update the package description of pike7.8-gtk to reflect the fact that it provides GTK+ 2.0 bindings. * Disable --with-relocatable-dumped-modules; it doesn't seem that we need it and it doesn't seem to work 100% properly. * no_dump_modules.dpatch (new): Patch install.pike not to dump modules at build time (thus no need to exclude master.pike.o in debian/rules). * Move AutoDoc and module-related modules and standalone tools to -dev and let -dev depend on -image. * module-layout.dpatch: Move misplaced parenthesis that caused the wrong local include directory to be added. * Build-depend on libmysqlclient-dev instead of libmysqlclient15-dev, which is now a virtual package provided by the former. * dumping_problems.dpatch (new): Patch from CVS fixing problems encoding the master object when dumping some modules. * cflags.dpatch (new): Make pike -x cflags print include_prefix as-is instead of stripping the last component. * Drop pike7.8-config; pike -x cflags and pike --dumpversion fills its functions. * Some changes in the meta package relationships.
