- Rainbow Mindy Compiler Notes
- ----------------------------
-
- Here's a very early version of the Symantec Project Manager 8.0.x hosted Mindy
- Dylan byte-code compiler. I've included Enrico Colombini's Pawns program as
- a demonstration. I've used the shared library versions of PPCANSI.o and PPCunix.o,
- so put aliases to these in your extensions folder.
-
- Here're some things to keep in mind:
-
- • main has to be in main.dyl. The runtime system always loads the byte codes
- from a resource called "main.dbc."
-
- • You can have only 1 .dyl file per project right now. This has to do with
- how libraries are built. This will be improved since separate compilation
- is useful.
-
- • Here's the simplest Mindy program:
-
- define method main (argv0, #rest args)
- let greetings = "Hello, world.\n";
- puts(greetings);
- end method main;
-
- • You can't really pass command line arguments to the running Mindy program.
- Eventually I'll add drop-on support, so that the command line arguments will
- be full path names to files that are dropped on.
