What an excellent set of updates. A Big Thank You; congrats.
neko and nekoc seems to work great on my ubuntu/libnunx install but
nekoboot gives me:
feldt:~/tmp$ cat proto.neko
var superproto = $new(null);
superproto.puts = function() { $print(this.msg + "\n") }
var proto = $new(null);
$objsetproto(proto,superproto);
proto.print = function() { $print(this.msg) }
var o = $new(null);
o.msg = "hello";
$objsetproto(o,proto);
o.puts(); // print "hello"
$objsetproto(o,null); // remove proto
o.print(); // exception
feldt:~/tmp$ nekoc proto.neko
feldt:~/tmp$ neko proto
hello
Called from proto.neko line 14
Uncaught exception - Invalid call
feldt:~/tmp$ nekoboot proto
Called from tools/nekoboot.neko line 60
Uncaught exception - [file_contents,proto]
feldt:~/tmp$ nekoboot proto.n
Called from tools/nekoboot.neko line 65
Uncaught exception - File not found : neko
feldt:~/tmp$
What am I missing?
