Re: [Chicken-users] A couple of questions
Hi Clarify please what kind of grapchis programming, games, gui, simulation ? And what a platform? Maybe interesting for you : http://lush.sourceforge.net/ http://www.pawfal.org/fluxus/ Hi, I’ve been working with Scheme for quite some time now, with various implementations, and I wanted to thank you for working on this wonderful one that is Chicken. I’m still pretty new to functional programming and I recently discovered the functional reactive programming style. I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with it in Scheme. I would like to implement a DSL on top of OpenGL for FRP graphic programming. If you have any documentation or existing implementation please tell me. I also wanted to know if it was possible to statically link a chicken program with all its libraries in order to have a standalone executable not depending on anything. Thanks again, Kooda. -- Envoyé depuis ma Game Boy. ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

Re: [Chicken-users] A couple of questions
Getting stanalone executable not a big deal, linking with extensions maybe litle bit tricky. http://wiki.call-cc.org/man/4/Deployment http://wiki.call-cc.org/man/4/Extensions On windoz u can try something like boxedapp or filejoiner, this one pack all application files into single executable.

Re: [Chicken-users] A couple of questions
Bare in mind that both lush and fluxus are FOSS, both GPL, so if you're planning on using it in a game engine that you'll be monetizing be certain that you're abiding by their licenses. Likely this means distributing full source. If that's not desirable to you, might I suggest the SDL egg (LGPL, so you can dynamically link proprietary code), or the Allegro egg (BSD). I think there's an SFML egg floating around, but I'm not certain where it's at these days. Of course, there's also the doodle egg, and simple-graphics; and you can always write inline C with the inline, bind and foreign eggs. If you're building binaries with chicken you can opt to statically link everything, and you can ship the extension eggs as dynamic libraries alongside your binary, if you so wish.

Likely this means distributing full source. That’s pretty much the idea. I’m already aware of licenses issues.

Of course, there's also the doodle egg, and simple-graphics; and you can always write inline C with the inline, bind and foreign eggs. I already played with these and my idea was to write something like doodle with a FRP style and OpenGL. That’s my main project these days, the first goal is to learn FRP and contribute to chicken. If I can use this later in my games that would just be awesome. If you're building binaries with chicken you can opt to statically link everything, and you can ship the extension eggs as dynamic libraries alongside your binary, if you so wish. Ok, it seems ok for my needs, but I’m not in a hurry about that so I have the time to think about it.

Re: [Chicken-users] A couple of questions about exceptions
On 6/5/07, john [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a couple of general questions on exceptions. 1. When handling an exception I can print the call chain out but how do I actually print the error? Just pass the exception object to print-error-message. 2. When a new thread is started how do I signal an error in a previously defined exception handler e.g. in the primordial thread. thread-signal! might possibly work. 2. If (barf1) is uncommented I would like to handle this error outside the current thread and in this case just use the previously defined exception handler. You can of course also do a thread-join! in the thread that creates the thread throwing the error, which would then re-signal the exception that caused the child-thread to terminate. But that depends on your use of the stuff. cheers, felix ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
