Re: ANN: CamelBones 1.0.0-beta4, ShuX 3.0-beta3
These new releases bring experimental Intel compatibility to both the CamelBones framework and ShuX. In addition, there have been a few minor bug fixes and additions to CamelBones - see the included release notes for details. I've read in earlier posts that you were concerned about the intel port because of something with libff (libffi). Does this version mean, you have have a solution to this and fixed or implemented it already? Manfred

I've read in earlier posts that you were concerned about the intel port because of something with libff (libffi). It's ffcall actually - ffi is another library that does the same thing. http://www.haible.de/bruno/packages-ffcall.html I use the avcall() function to build up a stack frame with which to call the C function objc_msgSend(). Because it relies on low-level ABI details like stack and argument alignment, it's more troublesome to port than a typical Cocoa or Carbon app that uses high-level library calls. Does this version mean, you have have a solution to this and fixed or implemented it already? It's a potential solution. I don't have an Intel Mac to test whether it runs or not, but I've got the build procedure pretty much ironed out. And, I have a good idea about what the potential problem areas might be. Note that one problem has already been reported and fixed.

In addition, there have been a few minor bug fixes and additions to CamelBones - see the included release notes for details. What is CamelBones? CamelBones is a Cocoa/Perl bridge for Mac OS X. It allows you to write Cocoa apps in Perl, and also to access Perl classes from Objective-C. Partial support for GNUStep is also included. What is ShuX? ShuX is a graphical POD (Plain Old Documentation) reader for Mac OS X. sherm-- Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net Hire me! My resume: http://www.dot-app.org

There's certainly a world of difference between this and a the very early version I last tried. The window positions, so far as I can make out, follow an arbitrarily set rule and this does not respond to any user changes. I would like a) to be able to set the preferred size for new windows and b) to have all windows open in the same position, with cascading only if more than one window is open. I hope you can supply prefs for such things in due course. JD

Sorry, but it doesn't open is too vague a description for me to offer any concrete help. I need to know more about your system and the Perl you're trying to run ShuX with. For instance: Are you using an Intel-based Mac? Have you modified the system-supplied Perl in any way? (Installing extra modules doesn't count.) Are you trying to get ShuX to use a custom installed Perl? sherm-- Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net Hire me! My resume: http://www.dot-app.org

I've been (im)patiently hoping you'd find time to be able to update and release a new version. Thanks, Sherm! Looks great! Michael Glaesemann grzm myrealbox com
