Note, I think that some of the .bac include files are broken in Wary 097, /usr/local/BaCon -- I created them by opening the .bac.html files on the BaCon website and saving them as plain text -- but the files have lots of '*' characters everywhere.

Note that Wary 097 has a compiled /usr/bin/bacon compiler, so doesn't need Bash 4.x.

Hi Barry

Just a note to say Wary 097 seems fine - all the basic's,
from a n00b viewpoint seem to work.

Woof woof at startup ok, nico edit seems fine, using it now.

Wired internet - good. Not tried wifi yet, or dialup.

Had to setup mouse tapping - no prob's.
(051 tapping worked auto-magically)

097 not quite so snappy as 051 -
(guessing thats because of extra drivers etc)

Manual frugal to sda1 ext3, 256mb ram,
Celeron 2.5Ghz proc, 700mb swap partition,
Acer Travelmate 243LC laptop. approx 8yrs old.

Very best regards and many thanks for all you do - Ray

Dear Lobster,

I am attaching the latest hug.bac and glade.bac as an archive. I know they work fine. Just unpack and replace your old files with these.

With kind regards,
vovchik

I'm probably doing something wrong, but:

Dear jpes,

Looks as if you are missing the indent binary (and who knows what else). In any case, here is the indent binary. Place it in /usr/bin and give it another try.

With kind regards,
vovchik

PS. And just run "bacon mastermind" for compilation of the source.

Who dares to attempt to compile and run the gtk-server demo on the BaCon website?

Or the Glade example calculator.

Dear NinerSevenTango,

The program compiles fine and will work if you first install Peter's gtk-server (http://www.gtk-server.org/). Get the latest version and compile it. Make certain your /etc/gtk-server.cfg file corresponds to your version of gtk, otherwise you will have problems. Gtk-server is very picky about correspondences between the config file and the version of gtk you are running.

With kind regards,

Thanks, vovchik.

I did download and install the latest version of gtk-server.

This is a full install of Quirky 1.3.

I installed it as a 'shared object', after installing FFCall.

There is no /etc/gtk-server.cfg. I found it at /usr/local/etc/gtk-server.cfg. Should I move it, reinstall with some different options, or add a path variable? Hmmmm.

Edit: The file lists a bunch of libraries. I could find them all except:

libgtkgl-2.0.so, libgtkglext-x11-1.0.so, libgdkglext-x11-1.0.so, libgtkembedmoz.so, libpoppler-glib.so

Now I'm wondering, if the program calling it can actually find it, will it bomb if these libraries are not present?

I appreciate your response, thanks again,

Dear NinerSevenTango,

I seem to have all the libs you list installed and I also have a the .cfg file in your location, in addition to /etc. If I remove the .cfg file in /etc, then gtk-server refuses to run, so in my installation that is the correct location. I remember from my previous gtk-server experiments (quite a few), that the libs called for in the config file had to be on your system. I will look into this tomorrow, since I am trying to finish an urgent job....

With kind regards,
vovchik

Thanks, vovchik, I believe that's enough information to save me a bunch of time fixing it. I can hunt those libs down and install them.

Happy coding!

Math '+' function in calc.bac needs () to add.

PRINT (f+g)
