Software News   Software News : REBOL 3 Released for AmigaOS
   posted by ssolie on 25-Oct-2010 19:56:40 (7886 reads)
REBOL 3 has just been released for the AmigaOS 4.1 and can be downloaded from the alpha downloads section.

REBOL 3 is currently in alpha and so is the Amiga version. Please read the documentation on the REBOL site for more information.


For those without AmigaOS you can also try REBOL 3 on a variety of other platforms or even directly on the web.

Note that a Host-Kit for REBOL 3 is still in development which will greatly extend what can be done with REBOL on the Amiga so stay tuned.

Hmm snoopy output gives:


Log Generated by; Snoopy 53.20 (30.4.2010)

00001 : r3 : o.k. = Open("DEVS:Internet/hosts",OLD) = [0x1475AEA0] [206uS]
00002 : ENV : FAIL = Lock("ENVARC:LOCALDOMAIN",SHARED) [128uS]
00003 : r3 : FAIL = GetVar("LOCALDOMAIN",0x5838D444,255,0x00000000) [26082uS]

00010 : r3 : FAIL = Lock("AmigaOS4:/base",SHARED) [80uS]
00011 : r3 : FAIL = CreateDir("AmigaOS4:/base") [83uS]


So it fails to create AmigaOS4:/base

Also it asppears to set "home" to "./"


paths issue? Should it have been built with libunix?

Andy,

What do you get on the following lines, each one run in a fresh console:

read %.

read %./

make-dir %test

>> read %.
** Access error: cannot open: %. reason: -3
** Where: read
** Near: read %.

>> read %./
** Access error: cannot open: %./ reason: 2
** Where: read
** Near: read %./

>> make-dir %test
** Access error: cannot create: %test/

Note that I can create a directory in a sub dir. eg before running 'r3' cd work:temp/

then

10.AmigaOS4:> cd work:temp
10.Work:temp> r3

BTW read %/ list the contents of "work:" ie one dir up, so paths are being handle amigaos style at one level and unix at another.

Possibly some kind of port bugs. Probably best to add them to Curecode, one at a time:

read %/ should post the root, i.e. all assigns, don't you think?

what does:

to-local-file %/

give?

I was chatting with Carl last night and he is aware there are still some issues with path conversions. This is a good thing because it will prove out the path conversion design.

I was also able to build a core with the host kit last night with assistance from the REBOL guys. I was able to launch into chat just fine. Also added support for launch-handler while I was in there so browser launching is now working. Handy for reading docs.

@cha05e90
Please feel free to submit bug reports for REBOL 3 at the official CureCode site. There is even an entry for AmigaOS now (because I entered a bug report).

@all
R3 is still in alpha so it is even more important that any issues are recorded so that the quality can be improved. AmigaOS reports are also important because they can highlight issues with REBOL's multi-platform support which I think is the case here.

I am new to Rebol. I have downloaded this and seem to have it working on my uA1c. When I run
it from the CLI, I get about 30 lines of info and then am left at what I assume is the console prompt:
>>
I then try to run the Hello World program which I got from the Learn REBOL tutorial:
>> alert "Hello world!"
but then I get
** Script error: alert has no value

Can someone please help me and tell me what's going wrong.
Thanks.

Hi, Ned

When it's working, ALERT would display a dialog with your message. The version for AmigaOS4 doesn't yet have a graphics subsystem and the GUI is not included, as we are not yet done writing it.

What you see there is simply that ALERT should be a working function, but it's not set.

The tutorial may not be updated for REBOL 3.

Try some of these:

to-string read http://www.amigaworld.net

chat

random [I like Amiga]

You can at least see the console working, but REBOL will definitely be much more fun when the GUI comes in. The next version should also fix bugs with file access.

Thanks for the clarification. Until it's a little futher along in the development, I think I would be more interested in trying an earlier version. On the REBOL web site I see references to a version 2.7.7, but in the download area for that I cannont find an Amiga version. Is an Amiga version of this or any earlier version available, and if so, where can I find it?

The earlier version 1.3 (there was a large jump in version number at one point to unify different kinds of REBOL releases, so it would correspond really to a version 2.5) is very old, around 2002-2003, I think, and is 68k only, but is available here:
