Author Now where's that confounded OpenDylan documentation ?
io

Hi --

Today I downloaded, for the first time, opendylan1.0beta1 for Linux.
I coudn't get the documentation, though. The page below

http://www.opendylan.org/gdref.phtml

links to Functional Developer, which is no more, and which sends us
back to opendylan.org

Not much use having a compiler if we can't learn how to use it, is
there?

Hope some of you guys fix this.

TIA.

I believe you can browse the documentation in the source repository:
http://www.opendylan.org/cgi-bin/vi.../documentation/

I got it through svn.
Boy am I lost...
It looks *as if* OpenDylan is more mature than *any* open source Common Lisp out there.
But who knows?

Thanks anyways.

I would think so, yes. And something close to the commercial lisps.

Unfortunately to date the IDE only runs on Windows, which makes it a lot
less useful to me.

Well it is a work in progress... Is getting the IDE up and running on *NIX
_just_ a matter of finishing a duim backend, or is there other
functionallity that needs ported?

(currently mucking about with the gtk-bindings from the source tree)

I don't *know* of anything else (assuming you're not talking about e.g.
debugging and dynamic code injection support), but that doesn't mean
there isn't anything.

What's duim?
By the way, what's the problem with IDE on Unix? And what are you
using? Stuff like wxWindows is cross-platform.

Cheers.

The Dylan User Interface Manager. A high level interface library.

Win32.

I suppose some kind of Win32 widget emulation could be a fast path to
porting, if someone knew something about something like that. Myself, I
don't know anything about Win32 GUI stuff and don't have a Win32
machine. In fact while I did a *lot* of GUI stuff in the mid 90's, I
haven't done any for a good while and know only Mac Toolbox pretty well,
not even Carbon.

Bristol-S7's Wind/U toolkit
Mainsoft's MainWin - are the answers for Win32 widget set on other
platforms - be it Unix/Linux/Mac

Hi,

we have put the Functional Developer documentation (as is, so far) on
our web server. It is now accessible from:

http://www.opendylan.org/gdref.phtml
