Hi Vlad,
I think libxml2 is in Puppy since ages, and will stay in it, as many programs depend on it. So it is ok, if you stay with it.

Updated Gtkaml to 0.2.5.1.
Mark

I added gtkaml-0.2.5-i486.pet.
To compile it, I first installed vala 0.6.0.
This installed the required header.
Then I installed again 0.7.0, and compiled gtkaml.

I did not test this library.

vala 0.7.0, compiled in Puppy 4.12: http://dotpups.de/puppy4/dotpups/Programming/Vala/ I could not compile gtkaml. Vala 0.7.0 no longer has all the headers in /usr/include/vala-1.0. The headers were removed since 0.7.0, see official announcement. Vala 0.5.7 was missing the required "valacodenod...

I updated the SFS. Added /usr/local/bin/pkgconfig. Like this, the C# compiler also works, if devx_411.sfs is not installed. I also added 3 more plugins for Monodevelop. monodevelop-debugger-gdb-2.0-i486.pet monodevelop-debugger-mdb-2.0-i486.pet monodevelop-vala-2.0-i486.pet I currently try to build ...

hehe, cool 8) No Gnome is required for Monodevelop :!: I started it without a Gnomesfs, to see errors, in order to build a reduced set of Gnome libs. I was pretty astonished: It will display an error, that some platform services are unavailable, but starts up fine! So Gnome was only needed to compil...

no, glib is not the reason.
I get the same errors with it.
There ist something about Gtk and icons. So one had to try to upgrade Gtk (what also requires a glib upgrade).

It will be easier, to use ultrapup/nyp instead.

I have uploaded Mono 2.4. http://puppyisos.org/isos/2009-01-to-06/Newyearspup02/mono/ User: puppy Password: linux There are 2 SFS files. mono-2.4mini_411.sfs This is 39 MB. It includes only Mono itself (and Gtk-sharp). In many cases, it should be enough to run Mono programs. It includes the C# compi...

the code after "else" must go to a new line. Here is your updated code. I also fixed two "print" statements to print("%s" , thetext ) Mark // Infinite Monkey Theorem // Lobster and Shadow, March 2009 LGPL // use from command line // imt ["search text"] // gene...

The examples now also work in Windows.

They require to add some files to a standard Vala installation, and to add options to the compiler.

Everything is here:

see "readme.txt" for details.

I attach a Glade example. I created it from: http://live.gnome.org/Vala/GladeSample I had to add some changes, to be able to use it in the IDE. I attach a screenshot, that makes it easier to understand the following text. Extract the attached archive to your valide project-folder. Then set up the ID...

Here is a new PET of the Valaide. It includes in an own subfolder /usr/local/glib2.18/ some newer systemlibraries. They do NOT replace Puppys files, so there is no danger to corrupt something. These files are only needed for the IDE, not for Vala itself. http://dotpups.de/puppy4/dotpups/Programming/...

You can use the random method from GLib. http://valadoc.org/?pkg=glib-2.0&element=GLib.Random Example: init // return a random value from 1 to 9 a:int a = GLib.Random.int_range(1,10) print("%d" , a) ------------------------------------------ references http://valadoc.org/? http://www.v...

yes, with 0.5.1 the example compiles fine also in WinXP.
In 0.5.6 it does not.
So this is a bug in newer versions, or the syntax for the "for" loop changed.
Mark

Lob, I get the same error trying to compile it in WinowsXP, using 0.5.7. At home in Puppy I had used 0.5.1: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pet_packages-4/vala-0.5.1-i486.pet The problem is the generated C code, line 34: g_print (_tmp2 = g_strconcat (s, \n", NULL));...

Visual Basic also is popular, so should we use it? ;) Here is an interesting benchmark: http://google.com/search?q=cache:n0jYRXigfrIJ:furryland.org/~mikec/bench/+python+slow&cd=2 Python is even slower than Java :( But the benchmark is old, maybe it got better meanwhile. It was just the first one...

ich hab hier grad rc7 auf einem Rechner mit einer Nvidia Gt 9500 getestet. Verwenden muß ich hier den Treiber 180 (für 8000 Series). Der Treiber 180 selbst funktioniert nicht. Beide sind identisch, nur enthält der für 8000 eine Extra-Datei von Xorg. Diese Variante scheint mit allen neueren Chips zu ...

I currently run Ultrapup 1.1 in Virtualbox in Windows XP. It is booted from an iso-image, that was assigned as CD drive. The harddisk image was partitioned with gparted: sda1: ext3 sda2: swap At startup (from the "CD"), the swap is recognized and used. I can switch it off/on with: swapoff ...
