TinyScheme

[JRS]

What would make me ecstatic is getting the TSX and RE extensions to compile under VS/VC and GCC and push it up to the Github repository for this project so everyone can enjoy your hard work.
 

[Mike Lobanovsky]

Oh yeah, I see my hard work is always making you ecstatic.

Aren't open source projects great!

I didn't see anyone else beside you and I making the effort to do a Windows 64 bit port of TinyScheme. You have the most to gain by being the lead on the Windows front. Please stop thinking I'm taking advantage of you. If you're not having fun than STOP!

Wise men say smilies are instruments for the dumbheads that can't express themselves adequately through normal human speech. Perhaps I'm one of them. I edited my messages.

I'm just trying to get the SB TS ext. module working on as many platforms as possible. Windows 64 continues to be a challenge. (for me) We are not alone. Finding and documenting the changes needed to port Windows 32 bit or cross platform open source libraries is a honorable task and many will thank you for your efforts.

Attached is Mike's Windows 64 bit GCC TinyScheme console interpreter. (tinyscheme.exe, init.scm and king.scm)

It's a pity Rob doesn't run 64 bits.

Rob,

If you get a FREE Koding.com account, you can run all your favorite Lisp varieties under Ubuntu 64 bit. We can even co-develop with chat in Koding's team collaborative option. Check it out and if you like I can help you install SB and the TS ext. module. (64 bit)

FYI - The GUI part isn't Koding.com stock. I had to install / configure the requirement myself.

Mike,

What is your feelings about the TSX & RE extensions being ported to Windows 64 bit? Is it worth your time?

[Mike Lobanovsky]

Frankly, haven't looked into them as of yet.

[JRS]

Okay, just wondering.

Rob,

Another option for you which would give you both Windows and Linux 64 bit is Amazon AWS. If you aren't a current customer they will give you a year of FREE cloud based computing services. You have to give them a credit card but nothing is charged for the first year. With Koding.com all you need is a valid e-mail address.

I'm running a medium size instance on AWS EC2 which gives me plenty of horse power and burst when needed.

Here is a sceenshot of SB SDL_gfx running via a SSH connection.

Thanks John,

I'll give Koding.com a try !

best Rob

Heads-up, Koding.com seem to be having an issue at the moment bringing up terminals. (VM's) They should have it resolve soon. You will like Koding.com (when its working) and the freedom it gives you to configure your own VM.

My Koding .com VM is working again. Try setting up a free account and let us know what you think.
