World: r4wp

re 1. Saahirion's builds never needed to have such libraries copied 
in the program dir. I'm using MinGW includes in combination with 
MSYS make to build R3. To me it looks like some problem in your make 
procedure.

re 2. REQUEST-FILE native! has nothing to do with graphics. It is 
present even in the "official" R3 release.

re 3. by "R3 editor" I meant eht EDITOR function you have ennounced

re 3.1 here is quickly cleaned-up version: http://cyphre.mysteria.cz/stuff/editor.r3

re 3.3 Note the keyboard shortcut code stub in the link above, this 
is the way how to support shortcuts in R3GUI. Easy, isn't it?


As I said feel free to blame R3GUI where appropriate, there are surely 
bugs around...the REQUEST-FILE bug just simply have really nothing 
to do with R3GUI but more with your compiled exe.

Rebol3 on Trello is nice Graham. Could you add me? I'm "semseddinmoldibi" 
on Trello.

Added :)

Great news Kaj!

Kaj - cool! So R3 got improved R2/DLL interface we wished for :-) 
(not everyone is fluent with C, thought R3 native extension mechanism 
is not difficult to understand)

Kaj, did not run the example, but you export 'hello, but you call 
'do-hello. Isn't it bug (leftover from R/S version?)

Kaj, very nice work! Hope this would inspire others to write R3 extensions 
in Red using your binding.

Pekr: the `hello` symbol exported to R3 is mapped to index 0 in RX_Call, 
so from there you can map it to `do-hello` or whatever Red function 
you want, no bug there.

Kaj - is your binding different to Doc's one, or the same stuff?

I started my binding first, to try to help Doc make progress towards 
supporting Android. He used some code from it, but he doesn't need 
a complete JNI binding in Red itself

My binding implements the complete JNI interface now, at the lowest 
Red/System level. Doc's bridge binds only a handful of JNI functions, 
but he is building higher levels on them now towards a bridge with 
Red

thanks, Kaj. Then keep your work, more complete binding might become 
handy to those who maight need it ...

Kaj, thanks for your work. I haven't looked but are there any examples 
that I can try on my devices?

For the R3 bridge, there's a Red example and a Red/System example 
in source form. No binaries at the moment

Those are the Hello examples?

Compilation depends on a Red development branch, so I can't integrate 
it with my build runs for binary downloads yet

hello-REBOL-3-extension.*, yes

I see. Thanks, Kaj. You and Doc are something else.

Thanks

The example for JNI is hello-JNI.*, but you have to compile two parts. 
The Red/System part needs to be compiled like the R3 bridge, as a 
library. The Java part needs to be compiled by Java, similar to Doc's 
instructions for his Java bridge

Kaj, you seem unstoppable!

Kaj, great work on OpenGL!  Question: Am I understanding correctly 
that the OpenGL backends currently available don't use the hardware 
rendering in the GPU?  If this is a correct understanding, do you 
have a roadmap for including hardware rendering capability?  Just 
curious.

Yes, there's some way to go to implement other backends, but I've 
taken up work on that again

@Kaj, so you static binding could be wrttten as a r3 extension as 
well?

GrahamC - interesting question :-)

Yes, you should be able to mix library and executable functionality 
in all sorts of ways now

Not sure if Red can #import libraries from other libraries, but it 
should

Haven't tested that yet, I guess it should work on Unix, not sure 
for Windows.

Kja, nice progress on OpenGL support!

(Sorry for the typo, low caffeine level ;-))

Low sleep level here; home improvement day with Freddy

so, can you make a GUI out of all this?

OS-mesa

You have to build it yourself out of 3D particles such as triangles, 
polygons and textures. Or use an existing one and write an extra 
binding for that

Of course, we already have GTK+

There's also the other way around: most GUI toolkits such as GTK 
have an OpenGL widget, so with my multi-backend design I can make 
OpenGL backends for the widgets of those toolkits. You'd have your 
regular widgets and then the option to use part of the window for 
3D

I'm struggling with a fully built r3gui so I might just wait a bit!

I'm eying some libraries that could be used for medical applications 
:-)

most of the stuff I've needed I've had to build myself :(

In REBOL or in medical?

medical stuff for Rebol

Yeah, not much support there

well, there's a billion$ out there for medical apps

Paying customers?

for myself .. and those who use my app

someone's email is attached to that link
