World: r3wp

http://bolka.at/2010/rebol3/a102/hostkit.htmlhere's more documentation 
on the work I did for A102, along with the full patchset

funny, in order to delete files in the makefile, I have to use r2.... 
there is no delete application in windows!

as in delete.exe or del.exe

its just a command-prompt function.

cool.. it works.. banner window

yeah! :)

congrats!

I'm using the posix stuff for now

Should be fine.

Except for the dynamic loader stuff, maybe.

Do you have dlopen on Amiga?

yes

libdl.so is implemented as well as a more native amiga elf.library

libdl.so is a thin wrapper for elf.library

Great, then extensions should probably work as well :)

that is the plan ;)

I've one more tip on the way of getting started with AGG: A109 has 
a stupid typo in it.

Ah, fortunately it's ifdefd in TO_WIN32. So nevermind :)

whew... I have a TO_AMIGA Carl added

I guess it must be in your 109 as well?

Mhm, I saw it in A109 :)

It also introduced another _great_ flag, "HAS_SMART_CONSOLE" :)

what does that mean?

do you have OpenGL support on Amiga?

Maxim, a subset is currently available called MiniGL

It disables to hostkit's own pseudo-readline stuff for console I/O.

Maxim, no shaders yet :-/

or fancy stuff.. basic GL stuff to run stuff like Quake et al

cool, you might want to look into my Extended Custom Gob Rendering 
host-kit once you've got the default host-kit working with graphics.

Maxim, awesome.. I will look into that

Maxim, if you keep things simple OpenGL-wise it will work just fine

chat is working fine... neat :)

great :)

it allows you to hook up alternate graphics drawing within AGG or 
directly on the window which view opens.  though you still have to 
map all that nasty OS specific windowing event stuff first.  keep 
in mind that you might be able to do stuff like a datatype viewer 
right into the view engine  :-)

so is there supposed to be one host-kit per platform in the future 
or ?

hopefully not.

it being the CGR path to host-kit... its still an infant, but I think 
its promissing already... just worked out a few issues with Andreas 
and its working fine on windows now.

arg... path= patch.

in the host-kit/src there is an os folder... that is where all the 
OS/platform-specific things are supposed to be.

once that is mapped all the rest is supposed to work multi-platform.

Andreas, sharing a common host-kit might be #ifdef hell though?

Yes, in a few places.

But that's how it is already anyway.

true.. it is fairly isolated so far

#ifdef where necessary, and separate files in the os/*/ trees where 
sensible.

when it gets to complex, its extracted and put into an isolated file, 
which is how its been evolving so far... quite straightforward.

We just really need to get Carl to the point where the hostkit is 
kept as a single source base.

Not one codebase for each platform which then slowly get out of sync.

where do commits go then?

rofl.
