Hello, It looks like I have been successful in bringing a modern programming language to RISC OS by porting the Vala compiler.
Well, I managed to compile and run the Hello World program... I am very impressed by the work done in the GCCSDK and the porting tools. That was a great help without I would never have managed it. Anyway, I now have a directory that contains some settings which enables the autobuilder to produce a Vala compiler that runs on RISC OS. Where do I go from here? I suppose it should be checked in into the SVN repository, but I do not have access to that. I made some local changes to the glib2 library, which were neccessary for Vala, but I think they have been obsoleted both by new glib releases and some changes in the repository. I should check that, I suppose. Well, there is a small error in the RISCOS documentation for glib-2.0-dev, which says: " C flags -I/LibGLib2:glib2-0 Linking flags for shared libraries -LLibGLib2: -lglib2.0 Linking flags for static libraries -LLibGlib2: -lglib2.0 -LLibGetText: -lintl " which should read: " C flags -I/LibGLib2:glib-2.0 Linking flags for shared libraries -LLibGLib2: -lglib-2.0 Linking flags for static libraries -LLibGlib2: -lglib-2.0 -LLibGetText: -lintl " (That is my experience anyway) Cheers, Jan-Jaap (Now trying to figure out how to build something useful with Vala using OSLib which is AOF, and GLib2 which is ELF...) _______________________________________________ GCCSDK mailing list [email protected] Bugzilla: http://www.riscos.info/bugzilla/index.cgi List Info: http://www.riscos.info/mailman/listinfo/gcc Main Page: http://www.riscos.info/index.php/GCCSDK
