IRC [16:17] <shedi_> can someone help with aolserver on win?
IRC [16:32] *** shedi_ parted the chat.
IRC [16:39] <Dossy> I wish people who asked questions would stick around for an answer. :)
IRC [16:43] *** shedi_ joined the chat.
IRC [16:45] <frankie> Dossy: now you have your occasion :)
IRC [16:45] <Dossy> Hey, there's shedi again
IRC [16:45] <Dossy> shedi_, what help do you need?
IRC [16:46] <frankie> Dossy: now _you_ have to stick around :-P
IRC [16:46] * frankie grins
IRC [16:46] <shedi_> I'm new to aolserver but not tcl so bear with me a second...
IRC [16:46] <shedi_> i have aolserver, downloaded and running from panoptic binary distribution
IRC [16:47] <shedi_> now if want to use the sqlite do i need to compile it first?
IRC [16:47] <Dossy> oK.
IRC [16:47] <Dossy> Ah, yes.
IRC [16:47] <Dossy> I don't believe I built nssqlite3 for Win32.
IRC [16:47] <Dossy> So, you'll want to/need to build that yourself.
IRC [16:47] <Dossy> Or, I'll have to get around to it, sooner or later. :-)
IRC [16:47] <shedi_> hmm.
IRC [16:48] <shedi_> that will another challenge..before i get to start building apps with aolserver.
IRC [16:48] <Dossy> yeah.
IRC [16:48] <Dossy> Working on win32 is slightly more challenging :)
IRC [16:49] <Dossy> I'd like to change that--I'd like to get everything to build cleanly with MinGW for Win32.
IRC [16:49] <shedi_> yes and first i need to setup all the build environment as well.
IRC [16:50] <Dossy> Sorry. :(
IRC [16:50] <shedi_> i wish it was more easier to start working with aolserver on win32
IRC [16:50] <shedi_> do you have any such plans..
IRC [16:51] <shedi_> or any suggestions i can contribute in any way..
IRC [16:53] <Dossy> If you produce binaries, share them :-)
IRC [16:54] <shedi_> yes why not. but i need to upload them somewhere to be shared.
IRC [16:55] <shedi_> is uploading to panoptic wiki is an option?
IRC [16:59] <Dossy> No, but I can put them up on the SourceForge mirror.
IRC [16:59] <Dossy> We'll work out something to get it going.
IRC [17:00] <Dossy> That's the easy part :)
IRC [17:00] <shedi_> nice one Dossy :)
IRC [17:00] <Dossy> So, you said you have Tcl experience--doing what?
IRC [17:02] <shedi_> 5 years, ago I started consulting commercial product by hp which uses tcl/rexx languages on cilent & server side
IRC [17:02] <shedi_> the product performs software distribution, patch , inventory collections.
IRC [17:03] <shedi_> and usually it requires customizing using scripts.
IRC [17:03] <Dossy> Ah!
IRC [17:04] <Dossy> Great.
IRC [17:04] <shedi_> during projects, there was a need for writing up entire modules
IRC [17:04] <shedi_> like message routing to mulitple destnations
IRC [17:05] <shedi_> overall i learned a lot of tcl and still use it as primary on win platforms
IRC [17:05] <Dossy> Great, and now you're looking at AOLserver? Well, it's unfortunate that there's no easy batteries-included installer for Win32, but ... if you can build the components that you need that were missing from what's already available, I'd be happy to add those for download for others.
IRC [17:05] <Dossy> Ideally, I'd like someone to take care of all the binary packaging of AOLserver, at least on Win32.
IRC [17:06] <shedi_> i would love to contribute
IRC [17:06] <Dossy> Let me know if you need any help/have any questions.
IRC [17:06] <shedi_> first i need to setup my dev machine.
IRC [17:07] <Dossy> Maybe I'll give a stab at compiling sqlite3 and nssqlite3 on Win32 using MinGW this weekend--see how it goes.
IRC [17:07] <shedi_> i'm going through your wiki How to build AOLserver on Win32
IRC [17:08] <shedi_> this weekend my task is to setup this environment.
IRC [17:08] <shedi_> do you think dev env on vmware would be fine
IRC [17:09] <shedi_> sqlite , please do share the experience on the wiki.
IRC [17:11] <Dossy> If you have vmware, why not just boot Linux under VMware?
IRC [17:11] <Dossy> frankie has done a fantastic job packaging AOLserver for Debian :)
IRC [17:11] <Dossy> OK, I need to run--be back later.
IRC [17:11] <shedi_> iok
IRC [17:12] <frankie> ...which remembers me to complete 4.5 packagin
IRC [17:16] <shedi_> I need to use win platform because of customer requirements.
