Our little Open Source Tuesday was yesterday night – we had a sit-down, took out our laptops, and continued our projects. All three of us.
I worked on understanding the PHP build system and workflow when creating C extensions. Got a bit further. I feel the need to write down the sequence of my failures, so that it can evolve into a guide. Here are the tips I got from ekneuss – First: compile your extension statically into a PHP5.3 source tree. Second: do not use make install.
Fredrik worked on exposing his C++ objects to Lua. A game, with spaceships, no less.
David was hacking Python on his cellphone. His invention: make the phone complain loudly every 5 minutes when there are still unread SMSes in its inbox.
Also new, another gathering: Our town’s Open Source environment is getting moving, more and more folks start gatherings, a really good thing. An open meetup on things Web 2.0 organized in Tomas’ home (!), as advertised on Facebook, and T’s blog “What’s Next”. (Via Guppy, of Polar Rose.)
