Had a closer look and spent 6 hours  playing with the new version of bitC
and yes that was the issue all the unit tests were ok but all the ones like
basic and block  fail mostly because the comment block is ;; instead of //. 

 

Its compiling now including my own project. Speaking of which  the 0.9
release notes mention the BITC_ROOT variable and it looking there for a
default include directory , I take it this is no longer the case .  I
noticed the prelude.bitc is not in usr/local/include  if I copy the include
dir form the source should this work ? Anyway for the moment im just using a
make file that sets the include dir like the source distribution. 

 

Also should we have a dev mailing list so not to pollute the design
discussions?  I'd like to-do more with it but with little doco /examples
outside of the spec your caught between spending a long time trying things
or asking a newbie question in the design forum.

 

Regards,

For reference:

 

  tests in test/unit are expected to pas

  tests in test/pretty are expected to pass

  tests in test/bugs are expected to fail

  everything else in test/* is stale and need to be updated or moved out of
the way

 

Thanks!
