Has anyone tried to compile in 64bit mode and dived into the problematic 
areas already?

I think the first thing to look at is the structu sizes. Either press 
it back to fit 32bit size, or expand it into 64bit space. Not sure 
what kind of side-effect this will have.

Hi, I'm reading the REBOL3's source codes, and I don't know It's 
a typo or not: in this file https://github.com/rebol/r3/blob/master/src/include/reb-c.h
at line 61, about defining the uint type, It seems #ifdef DEF_UINT 
 was not correct. Maybe #ifndef DEF_UINT ?

LiH: to me it looks you are right, you can do "pull request" with 
the fix.

As I'm updating my old scripts on rebol.org, I'm trying to understand 
the problems with compress/gzip & decompress/gzip , 
and found at least one issue in u-zlib.c . 

When compressing, as the checksum method is assumed to be adler32 
for most of the code, stream->adler (the current checksum) is wrongly 
initialized to 1 in two places, giving an off-by-one checksum in 
the output and making it unusable for decompress/gzip. 

Still no clue for what yields the 
     ** Script error: value out of range: none
error and why calling 
     compress "" 

seems to fix this problem sometimes.It seems that something isn't 
correctly resetted between calls.

Now digit the following commands in MinGW console: => Now type ??

Can rebol be built to include .r scripts for a portable rebol?

not sure I understand your question  ':-/

to distribute applications?

Bundle scripts along with the rebol executable, for distribution, 
as a single file.

if you compile the host kit you have full control over this.  Otherwise, 
Saphirion seem to have built an encap tool for R3.

Saphiron's encap tool was built before the sources were available

If you do what Florin wants, how would you get your code to execute 
instead of landing on the console?

the console is just a loop in the main which gets a string and executes 
it.  what you'd do is execute a string of utf8 text directly.

I had the r3 hostkit running as a dll with full host support... in 
fact, I was able to execute R3 scripts from within R2   :-)

obviously there was no sharing of info, only exchange of string data

so I'd use load/mold on the string from/to R3  ...

Are you answering the question?

I'm just saying that with the hostkit, you can execute or setup evaluating 
whatever you want however you want.

florin: yes, it's possible to include embedded modules or embedded 
extensions with R3. but it's not documented how to do so, at the 
moment, so you'll have to dig through the sources yourself.

for embedded modules, it could be as simple as dropping your module 
in src/mezz/, including its filename in src/mezz/boot-files.r and 
doing a full rebuild (including `prep`) after that. didn't try yet, 
though.

thanks

Florin, I wrote this about adding your own scheme https://github.com/hostilefork/r3-hf/wiki/How-to-add-your-own-scheme

GrahamC: Wonderful, thanks.

That's what I did for my vanity builds for integrating the time and 
smtp schemes

Has anyone tried building R3 on Windows with CodeBlocks? I want to 
run R3 in debug mode, to track down native bugs.

I can also use VS2012 Pro, but it's less likely that someone has 
tried building on that. One can hope, of course.

Just so happens that I have a CB project file for the official source 
layout, if you want it. There's also a little change to make-make.r 
that you'll need t make for which he's made a pull request.

https://github.com/rebol/r3/pull/77

Sent you the file

btw, there's currently no difference between the release and debug 
targets - CB just builds the all target with whatever flags were 
there. We could change this to create distinct builds, obviously.

put the project file in the root of the project - sibling to the 
.git

for which he's made a pull request
 -> "for which Andreas has made a pull request"

Thanks. Andreas helped set me up with VS2012 builds. I'll get to 
CB later, I'm sure with the help of your project.
