i was playing around with NCI stuff tonight and ran across a problem
in loadlib. the following code does not work:
.local pmc lib_gtk
lib_gtk = loadlib "libgtk-x11-2.0"
The need for such libnames arises typically on debian and alikes, where
not all -devel packages are installed. I see two possibilities here:
1) demand from user to either install the -devel pkg or symlink the
shortname
2) Parrot stops trying to ...
ext_start = strrchr(*lib_name, '.');
... strip extensions.
i was planning on playing around with gtk+ bindings and parrot and
went about looking around for the work that had already been done and
didn't turn anything up. if anyone knows where i can find it or who i
should talk to i would appreciate that info as well.
Google for "NCI gtk". There is also a weekly summary entry but the
xrl.us shortcut seems to have expired.
