(11:32:26) mjl-: hotaru2k3: sounds like your PATH is wrong (11:32:44) mjl-: from the top of my head, that's a line that should have a string in it, a date (11:32:45) hotaru2k3: actually, it turns out i didn't mk install when i should have (11:33:11) mjl-: ok, so KERNDATE wasn't defined i bet (11:33:18) mjl-: because ndate wasn't in your path (11:35:59) hotaru2k3: KERNDATE was defined, it was just empty (11:36:26) npe left the room (quit: No route to host). (11:40:49) hotaru2k3: now i just need to figure out how to fix http://code.google.com/p/inferno-os/issues/detail?id=101... (11:43:24) mjl-: hmm, it doesn't work because you have a 16bit dolor depth display? (11:46:28) hotaru2k3: it says "emu: bad display depth 16 chan r5g6b5 xscreendepth 16" (11:47:47) gdiaz [n=gdiaz@dos.9grid.es] entered the room. (11:53:46) hotaru2k3: ah, it works if i use -C m8 (11:54:15) hotaru2k3: i thought i had figured out a workaround last time i used inferno on this machine (11:55:20) core-ix [n=dvda@gw1.sofiasoftsolutions.com] entered the room. (12:08:01) underspecified_ [n=eric@naist-wavenet126-150.naist.jp] entered the room. (12:28:19) mjl-: hotaru2k3: does -C a8r8g8b8 work for you? (12:35:53) hotaru2k3: no, it doesn't (12:37:06) hotaru2k3: http://pastebin.com/d4deaddde (12:50:50) gdiaz: i'm going to write something like perldsc man page for inferno (12:51:04) gdiaz: has anyone wrote something like that? (12:51:35) mjl-: perl data structure? (12:51:42) mjl-: i don't any anything (12:51:55) mjl-: sounds useful (12:52:10) mjl-: like how to "grow" an array with one element at a time, or by reserving a bit more (12:52:10) gdiaz: yes, that man page is quite useful, and i wish something simmilar for inferno (12:52:33) gdiaz: just a collection of basic recipes someone could use (12:52:48) mjl-: well, perl is in a stronger need for it. because its references and hashes, arrays, etc. and their syntaxis is quite convoluted :) (12:53:19) mjl-: gdiaz: are you goint to describe tables.m there too? (12:53:29) mjl-: or will you consider that to be an external library? (12:53:39) mjl-: i.e. are you confining yourself to language features? (12:53:44) gdiaz: mjl- hum i don't know anything about tables.m . . .but yes, hash.m & friends are candidates (12:54:06) gdiaz: the limits should be the the inferno svn distribution (12:54:11) gdiaz: not just limbo idiom (12:54:21) mjl-: hash.m sucks a bit imho (12:54:34) gdiaz: or at least i think so, i never used it, why it sucks? (12:54:40) mjl-: dict.m might a friend of hash.m (12:54:52) mjl-: Hashval is a int real & string... (12:55:00) mjl-: it's just a weird interface (12:55:19) mjl-: tables.m uses polymorphism to store any object, indexed by int or string (12:55:24) underspecified_ left the room (quit: ). (12:56:42) gdiaz: i'll start ith the basics first and get to those modules later (12:57:07) mjl-: cool (13:10:01) npe__ left the room (quit: ). (13:10:57) npe [n=npe@195.207.5.2] entered the room. (13:11:05) npe left the room (quit: Remote closed the connection). (13:11:14) npe [n=npe@195.207.5.2] entered the room. (13:38:14) underspecified_ [n=eric@walnut.naist.jp] entered the room.
