Re: Linux image for 64-bit PicoLisp

Hi Alex and Henrik, Would the Linux system or my Mac, or both, have to be in 64-bit mode for the 64-bit PicoLisp to work? I would say: yes. Because a 32-bit Linux cannot execute 64-bit binaries (the other way round works, though) Why do you need a ready-made Linux image? Isn't there a direct

Re: Linux image for 64-bit PicoLisp

Hi Jon, > - Is it possible to run OpenGL stuff with 64-bit PicoLisp on Ubuntu? Yeah, this is one of the major open issues on 64-bits. Unfortunately, the 32-bit OpenGL library doesn't work on 64-bits, we have to rewrite it using 'native' calls. I couldn't do it until now, as I have no local 64-bi

Re: Linux image for 64-bit PicoLisp, OpenGL

Hi Alex, I have some time available today and tomorrow. At least we could get started on the 64-bit OpenGL library. Re. VirtualBox: It's also available (for free) for Linux hosts, here: If you're interested, you might be able to run 64-bit Ubunt

Re: solicting user stories of picolisp

Thomas, you have to read http://picolisp.com/5000/-2-I.html if you want to understand how it works completely. And the problem is of course that it's slow (regardless of where or what) and I don't really have the time to fix it :-) On Wed, Jul 21, 2010 at 9:40 AM, Alexander Burger wrote: > Hi T

Re: External symbol names

OK, it's a misunderstanding then, I thought you wrote somewhere that one shouldn't rely on the ext symbol names too much, but it seems I was mistaken. This is good news because then the external symbol can be used to access an object, rendering an explicit autoincrementing id redundant in many sit
