Q: string_bitwise

2005-11-12 Thread Leopold Toetsch

A visitor on #parrot just asked if we had a fink build (which we don't). Before I bother the fink folks directly, is there anyone listening here who can help us put a fink build together?

I use fink for ease of installing dependencies(imagine the annoyance of trying to install gimp when you don't have any of it's dependencies and don't know which ones you need), and I could try making an info file for parrot. One problem that I can already see is the tree that parrot creates fo

If there are changes that are required to make Configure.pl more flexible, I'm sure we can address those. If you give me a list of what you need, I can work on the configure changes to make it happen. I almost always work out of the svn sandbox, so I don't normally touch this. Thanks! On

Well I've noticed a couple things. The initial make install installs more files than is needed... I recommended file structure for fink is documented at http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/packaging/fslayout.php?phpLang=en so it's mainly just being able to have Configure.pl adhere to it. But I

2005-11-12 Thread chromatic
Hi there, I'd like to change where print output and warnings and errors go within a section of PIR code, like you can change them in C and Perl by closing and reopening the file descriptor or localizing the typeglob, respectively. This is important for the pure-PIR Parrot::Test. I've looked at t
