 Don't panic, Wayland is not out. :-) And a lot of other X11 stuff will

Sorry, the example was not the whole app. You need a Global class with

the app was already running as root. I cannot be more clear, or send

That's what I would have figured, but I don't know any C either. Dang!
A gtk+2 upgrade tends to break a lot of stuff. VL6SOHO is still in

2.14.7, I wonder if that would do it? I have installed Slack13

[Gambas-user] Gambas3 build issues

2010-06-02 Thread Jose J. Rodriguez
So I finally decided to check out Gambas3 from svn and give it a go,
right after the new structure implemention announcement. However, I
first had to download and build the latest versions of libtool,
autoconf and automake, before reconf-all worked. Still, after all
that, make fails, seemingly on something gtk related. I am using
VectorLinux 6 SOHO Beta 4, which has gtk+2-2.12.9, does it need to be
a newer version too?

After attempting the more complicated build script we use, I tried a
simple ./configure --prefix=/usr, then make.Here's the tail of the
make log, just in case:


In file included from gprinter.h:26,

 here i'v 4.2.4 on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS but gambas3 fails because libtool has
  not the newer version.

  on Mandriva 2010.0 gcc 4.4.1 and on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS gcc 4.4.3, both
  compile without problems.


Well, if it takes a gcc update then I'm toast, that's pretty dangerous
and entails recompiling other stuff with the new gcc, I think (like
the kernel, for instance).

   That is not the issue, you can do that, but they all use the same

 Hem, you are right, I didn't notice.

  Internallly the Socket object knows which ServerSocket created it, but you
  don't have any access to it!

  As a workaround, I think you can use the port number to make the difference.


I will look into that in the meantime.


  Maybe I will make a Server property in the Socket class to get the
  ServerSocket object creator.

  And I can add an optional argument to the Accep() method to define the event
  name of the created socket.


That would be great! Thanks.
