Re: Playing music using pike and SDL.

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

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.

Ah yes, now it works. Thanks. Didn't think to try that. As long as Anno itself is added as a constant, the parameterized versions work correctly. > > What's the intended way to create parameterized annotations? > > This seems to be a compiler bug. Thanks. Not a major issue since there's a workaround (and I'll usually have them in separate files anyway). ChrisA

Pure Pike annotations?
by Chris Angelico 15 Feb '24

15 Feb '24

(Side note: This mailing list seems very dead lately. Is the LysKOM gateway down?) I'm trying to make good use of annotations, but all the existing ones are in cmod files, and I'm trying to work out how best to write them in Pike. My goal is to have an annotation that can be parameterized, something like this: class Anno(string label) { inherit Pike.Annotation; @constant; } @Anno("foobar"): void some_func() { } But while this does result in the annotation itself showing up, the label on that annotation doesn't. What's the intended way to create parameterized annotations? ChrisA

Hi. At Pike Conference 2017 it was decided that we ought to hold a more informal meeting in Linköping ~ once every quarter. As the 3 month mark from the latest conference is coming up soon, it seems time to announce the first such meeting for 2024: Pike Meet-up 2024-Q1 Date: 2024-02-17 (Sat) Time: 10:00 - afternoon/evening Place: Roxen IS AB S:t Larsgatan 22A Linköping Welcome! /grubba

Debian Pike packaging and GTK2
by Chris Angelico 04 Feb '24

04 Feb '24

The latest releases of Debian don't include a pike8.0-gtk package any more. Apparently it's because it depends on old libraries: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=885673 But all of those are optional dependencies. I just tested a fresh Debian 12 installation and was able to build Pike from source fairly easily. As long as libgtk2.0-dev is installed, the majority of the GTK2 module exists, and it's only GTK2.SourceView etc that are missing. How would we go about getting Pike GTK back into Debian? ChrisA
