Lobster,
for the hello-gtk.gs, do you have a carriage-return on the last line?

I just tested, running Intrepid Puppy alpha3, devx loaded, I copied the example hello-gtk from my web page, pasted it into a file, compiled it with valac, it works.

Hmm, I took the carriage-return off the last line, it still compiles.

I have copied the code you posted to this thread, that compiles too.

I'm using Vala 0.5.7.

Many thanks Barry,

I am awaiting a page on GTK on your Genie pages Smile

I have cautiously added Valide Shocked

and got a working hello world

There are good example GTK for Vala but not Genie on the Vala pages
Mark is already using Glade but I am still working up to crawl status

Lobster,

I just tried to compile hello-gtk.gs with Genie and got the same error you had. I noticed the line 'add (button)' was indented with two tab characters so I replaced the tabs with 8 spaces. It didn't compile so I added a blank line , without any indentation, at the end of the code and then it compiled. Using Vala 0.5.7 and Puppy 4.1.2 frugal.

Thanks seeker Smile

that is good advice
(didn't seem to help)

The Valide editor seems to be the source of serious problems for me
- or maybe it is the required libraries for gtk compiling . . .
- it effects other editors and even Seamonkey, so that invoking save as crashes the program you are activating save as and sometimes even save from
this effects things too drastically to use it
and I must for now stick with Geany editor or Medit editor

I have noticed this on three pristine installs of Puppy

for now I will be using

Valide is however potentially an excellent IDE for Vala/Genie
so if anyone can replicate this behaviour and find out what and why
that would be great Wink

I have medit and the genie launguage specs package installed but how do I turn on the genie syntax highlighting?

EDIT:

Never mind, a couple reboots later it works.

Great tip MU - makes sense - it has been difficult
but hey this is cutting edge . . . Smile

This should be an easy question, how do I use a window I made with Glade in Genie?

What about square roots and exponents?

Thanks I'll take a look at it.

But now when I try to compile my program I get this error message:

install:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pet_packages-woof/libgee_DEV-0.1.5.pet

Then in the Valaide, go to the options, and add as library there:
gee-1.0

On my system, the ide crashes again, if I go to the options Sad

That worked right after I had installed it.
So I added with an editor:

Thanks! The "valac --pkg=gee-1.0 hello.gs" is what I needed. The IDE broke my puppy so I can't use it. Sad
