Release Candidates :: DSL v3.1 RC1



When I open murgaLua and type print(sqlite.version()), the sqlite version is 2.8.17 but them I run sqlite -version I get 3.3.6

I think it's great the you chose to include fluid, the fltk GUI builder, but I wasn't able to make the /bin/convertFluidToMurgaLua.sh script to work.

murgaLua looks great so far, though.

I don't think fluid will stay. It will likely become an extension together with the conversion script. Recall, this RC is  temporaraily oversized to try to help with the conversion. So far, I have been able to convert all of my Lua programs (48)  to Lua 5.1.1 and Fltk, via murgaLua. So the next RC will be back to just under 50MB.

I too have found the convertFluidtoMurga.sh to have issues. But then it is early in its development cycle. I do use fluid to help with some layout, but mostly I find the Fltk manual the most helpful for GUI and having Lua 5.1.1 is a joy. I also feel that there is a better interface to Fltk than before. The conversion has been a big project.

I've been wondering how big that task would be.  I converted a couple of my personal scripts just to see how much work is needed, and it's quite a lot...at least for me =o)

I had started working on a uci extension for FLTK, including Fluid, just before MurgaLua was introduced to Damnsmall.  It was being done primarily to use Fluid (or in my case to try learning Fluid/FLTK) in DSL. If you want I could finish that sometime in the next couple of weeks and submit it with or without the conversion script.

mikshaw, If you have something with fluid and a fluid2Lua, and as a uci that would be great. I won't bother makeing fluid an extension.
clacker, I guess I had better align the sqlite versions.
