verement / lambdamoo Goto Github PK

Solution: I had a similar issue on OS X which I resolved using the the install_name switch instead of soname.

The ctime() built-in function allows a timezone to be passed as a second argument.

Surprisingly, an argument of the form “:path” will read the file described by the given path and attempt to parse it for timezone information. This may potentially be a security risk.

I'm on Mac (Lion) and I get the following...

as a workaround, I downgraded my autoconf to 2.64... then it works fine.

One of the possible verb preposition specifiers is “off/off of”. However, due to the way prepositional phrase parsing happens, it seems impossible that the phrase “off of” can ever match — because it always matches “off” first, and the “of” becomes part of the indirect object string.

I imagine this has never worked correctly in LambdaMOO?

Would there be any harm in reversing the specifier order to “off of/off”?

building on Ubuntu

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/.../codepoint.the-b.org/pcre'
/bin/bash ./libtool --tag=CC   --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.     -O2 -g -MT pcre_compile.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/pcre_compile.Tpo -c -o pcre_compile.lo pcre_compile.c
./libtool: line 861: X--tag=CC: command not found
./libtool: line 894: libtool: ignoring unknown tag : command not found

Strangely enough this works:
" I edit libtool script in the source package where I replace ECHO="echo" with echo="echo""

The implementation of j(n, x) for n ≠ 0 and n ≠ 1 passes the arguments to jn() in the wrong order.

The implementation of y(n, x) for n ≠ 0 and n ≠ 1 calls jn() instead of yn(), and passes the arguments in the wrong order.

The LambdaMOO Programmer’s Manual documents the fourth argument to verb_code(object, verb-desc, fully-paren, indent) as defaulting to false. However, this is incorrect; unless specified otherwise, verb code will be indented by default.

To build lambdamoo, I needed to, in the git checkout:

% autoconf
% (cd pcre && autoconf)

before I could run "sh configure" as mentioned in the README.

UCD/MCONFIG

has the line:

PERL = time perl

Which fails to execute when running make (time is not a standalone executable on my system, but a shell builtin).

Changing the line to

PERL = perl

allows the build to proceed.

The LambdaMOO Programmer’s Manual fails to document the ability to enumerate verb prepositional phrase arguments by passing a decimal string to set_verb_args() or add_verb().

The following change to the numbers.c function do_power() is erroneous:

-               ans.v.num = (b % 2 == 0 ? 1 : -1);
+               ans.v.num = (b & 1) ? 1 : -1;

As a result, negative powers of −1 have the wrong sign.
