Hi list,
I'll soon make a release of Neko 1.1 , as soon as everything have been
tested and deployed in my company.
I worked a lot this week on NekoML compiler performances, and I could turn
the recompiling-the-compiler time from more than 3 minutes to around 20
seconds on my box. The standard library have also been completed with all
the system stuff ( commandline arguments, file and directory access, create,
delete, .... ).
As for the Makefile, there is now one single Makefile that should work as-it
on Linux systems, and maybe need some edit for BSD/OSX . In that case please
send me informations so I can add commented configuration such as :
# For 64 bit
#
# CFLAGS += -D_64BITS
The Makefile only compile the VM and the Std library, and then bootstrap the
compiler. Once done, it will compile and run the src/tools/install.neko tool
that will take care of the rest of the compilation ( some neko sources for
MotionTypes and other libraries).
In Neko now there is a primitive for accessing the system string ("Windows",
"Linux", "Mac" or "BSD"). This way you can modify install.neko in order to
make it support the corresponding configuration.
It's good time now if you want to make some tests before the 1.1 official
release.
Best,
Nicolas
