Bus error with Blackhole

Hi, I installed and tried to compile with Blackhole on OS X yesterday, but got a bus error during the compile. I'm at a loss as to how to proceed with this. If anyone would like further details, I'll be happy to provide them, but I'm not sure what to provide. Thank you, Benjohn -- benjohn(a)fysh.org - Twitter @benjohnbarnes - Skype benjohnbarnes - Mobile +44 (0) 7968 851 636

Re: [gambit-list] The module system

Hi John, Thanks – I didn't get a reply about the "X Module System". I did get Black Hole installed though, and started to work with it, but I got a crash while compiling with it. Mark and Per have come forward with some suggestions on getting some debugging info out of black hole to try and diagnose the issue, so I'll do that – I'm on holiday so probably on reduced bandwidth for a week or so though :-) Another tip is to go through some of the dumping ground projects. Several are large enough to need a build system, so I've found looking at what those do can help with getting some ideas about using gsc.

This sounds great, but in gsi, or when I compile a file with gsc, neither "module" nor "use" are available: >> >>> gambit # gsi >>> Gambit v4.6.1 >>> >>>> module >>> *** ERROR IN (console)(a)1.1 -- Unbound variable: module >>> 1> (module a_module) >>> *** ERROR IN (console)(a)2.2 -- Unbound variable: module >>> 2> >> >> Is this something that has been removed, or do I have to turn it on? >> >> Thank you, >> Benjohn >> >> -- >> benjohn(a)fysh.org - Twitter @benjohnbarnes - Skype benjohnbarnes - Mobile +44 (0) 7968 851 636 >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Gambit-list mailing list >> Gambit-list(a)iro.umontreal.ca >> https://webmail.iro.umontreal.ca/mailman/listinfo/gambit-list -- benjohn(a)fysh.org - Twitter @benjohnbarnes - Skype benjohnbarnes - Mobile +44 (0) 7968 851 636

Gambit wiki account creation
by Marc Feeley 02 Jui '11

Due to the recent increase in spam on the wiki, I have installed a mediawiki extension to ask that all account creations be OKed by me and the email address confirmed by the requestor. That way we should be able to reduce the spam down to zero. The price to pay is that the new account won't be usable immediately. So if you would like to contribute to the wiki, you might want to think about creating an account in advance. Marc

Sorry about the previous empty reply.

I did notice these before, but I didn't realise that it provides an OpenGL wrapper, rather than just a means of managing extensions.
