Re: httpGate not found:: Simple Canvas Drawing: A Minimal Example
Dear Abu, In my case of 32 bit, pil version = 3.1.6.0 C. OS is Porteus-3, Slackware LiGNUx 32 bit. While installing as root, I did (cd src; make). Still I had to do again (cd src; make gate) to get httpGate. May be I am missing out something or the makefile in src is not making all. Regards. Alabhya
Re: httpGate not found:: Simple Canvas Drawing: A Minimal Example
Hi Alabhya, While installing as root, I did (cd src; make). Still I had to do again (cd src; make gate) to get httpGate. Oops, yes! Sorry, I didn't check thoroughly. The first target in src/Makefile is just 'picolisp', not 'all'. So you have in fact to do (cd src; make all) ♪♫ Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe

Re: httpGate not found:: Simple Canvas Drawing: A Minimal Example
Dear Abu, Now I need to admire you for extreme humility along with legendary genius and prompt hand holding. Makefile stands corrected for next release. May be we can have 3.1.6.1 as immediate maintenance release. Regards Alabhya
Re: httpGate not found:: Simple Canvas Drawing: A Minimal Example
Hi, how about adding a separate httpGate_readme? This file could contain build instructions and a short introduction and be expanded later. Perhaps pointing to a future httpGate documentation section on the picolisp website?

Perhaps pointing to a future httpGate documentation section on the picolisp website? Yes. In fact, when I wrote about on my todo list before, I thought of my plans to write an httpGate article in the Wiki. There is more to 'httpGate' than I've communicated until now. I use it to auto-start applications on the server, based on symbolic names in a configuration file mapping to the application-specific ports. This works in combination with 'ping' (to keep applications alive) and 'retire' (to stop idle applications). Just couldn't find the time yet ;-) ♪♫ Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
Re: httpGate not found:: Simple Canvas Drawing: A Minimal Example
Hi Alex, sounds like httpGate is an interesting and quite capable part of the ecosystem. I haven't had time to try it out at all myself, focusing on trying to learn the picoLisp language itself for now. Maybe I'll try and find some time to experiment a bit. New release coming up on monday? Looking forward to that!

Re: httpGate not found:: Simple Canvas Drawing: A Minimal Example
Hi Alabhya, # /usr/lib/picolisp/bin/httpGate 80 8080 gives error: file not found! Probably you don't have global installation of PicoLisp. You could either install from a package, e.g. in a Debian-based system with # apt-get install picolisp or otherwise follow the description in the INSTALL file (e.g. set the symbolic links as described, or call the executables with local path names). ♪♫ Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
Re: httpGate not found:: Simple Canvas Drawing: A Minimal Example
Dear Abu, Thanks! Now it works. 1. Why only deb package is guaranteed to work in contrast to others, say plain tar.gz? Should they not all be same? And if there are official differences then they could be documented along with additional installation steps like (cd src; make gate). 2. I saw httpGate in a previous release. May be its time to check current release for other left outs and release next version with corrections. Prospective picture for business: 1. What are your other projects? 2. Detailed outline of various projects dealing with commerce and finance will be useful.

While the above always give the expected results, the following or otherwise follow the description in the INSTALL file (e.g. set the symbolic links as described, or call the executables with local path names). is not a very useful advice, because INSTALL doesn't tell about 'httpGate'. To build 'httpGate' locally, you have to compile it $ (cd src; make gate) and then call it (as user 'root') with a local path name like # /path/to/installation/bin/httpGate 80 8080 Or, you set a corresponding symbolic link as described for the other executables. ♪♫ Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
Re: httpGate not found:: Simple Canvas Drawing: A Minimal Example
Dear Alabhya, Thanks! Now it works. Great! 1. Why only deb package is guaranteed to work in contrast to others, say plain tar.gz? Should they not all be same? The plain tarball unpacks to a locally isolated directory. It cannot write files to files spread around the system, and it also doesn't contain compiled binaries. The advantage is that you can unpack it in any place - and more than once - to get strictly local installations, which you can modify and adjust without influence on a global installation. And if there are official differences then they could be documented along with additional installation steps like (cd src; make gate). Very true! Actually, it used to be correct initially, when there was only the 32-bit version of PicoLisp. INSTALL says to do $ (cd src; make) which targets to 'all' in src/Makefile, and thus also builds 'gate'. Only when just the 64-bit version is build, 'gate' is not covered. I try to put at least a note into INSTALL before the next release (on Monday). Unfortunately, the whole 'gate' stuff isn't documented at all yet, mainly because it is not strictly part of the core PicoLisp system. It is on my todo list, though. ♪♫ Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
