newlisp.dylib on Mac OS X ??

[HPW]

From the doc:

newLISP can be compiled as a UNIX shared library called newlisp.dylib on Mac OS X ...

Has anyone use newlisp.dylib successfull on OSX ?

Is newlisp.dylib part of the OSX package?

What would be the best programming enviroment to call newLISP ?



I am currently investigating multiplatform possibilitys for newLISP embedded in GUI-enviroments.

On windows I have experience with my neobook project, but this is limited to the win-platform.

I haven't used it - I think you have to compile newlisp from source to do that. it's not on my machine anyway.

What would be the best programming enviroment to call newLISP ?

The OSX 'programming environment' is XCode (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/xcode/">//http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/xcode/_, which is baffling and fantastically complex (but free, at least). I don't know whether this is quite what you mean though. If you're writing standard OSX GUI applications, you work - at the highest level, at least - in Objective C (or "Cocoa"), and interface to other things like Java or whatever using libraries and stuff.



If I sound vague, it's because I am. :-)

I was inspired by the discussion about revolution here:



http://www.alh.net/newlisp/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=1448">http://www.alh.net/newlisp/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=1448



and take some closer look at the externals SDK.

Seems that the SDK is for Xcode since some files start with XCmd....

Still much to learn. (And so also still vague!)

By the way: Is newLISP for OSX compiled in Xcode?

[Lutz]

Xcode is built around the GCC open source compiler, which is part of Xcode package and which is also used to compile newLISP. Xcode is not installed by default but comes as an installable package on the install DVD's shipped with evey Apple computer. The latest version is also always available at apple.com.



Since Mac OS X Tiger 10.4 Tcl/Tk is part of Mac OS X und produces a native Aqua GUI.
