TMI: rustpkg and moving
Mar. 14th, 2013 06:20 pmI succeeded at moving to Vancouver! A bit of culture shock. (Feel free to come up with a joke about moving out of a mutable reference or something.) I'm only here for less than three months, so I'm trying to absorb as much of Graydon's knowledge as possible in the meantime.
Continuing to work on the typechecker refactoring (yes, still); running up against very frustrating sporadic segfaults that I'm pretty sure are not to do with my changes, and that's about the most frustrating thing that can happen.
I also started working on rustpkg to finish up the work that our valiant volunteer Zack started. So far, trying to get rustpkg to build rust-sdl. Since rust-sdl requires some custom build logic -- currently implemented in a Makefile -- to rename the library file on Macs, I figured that might be a good starting point for porting that into build logic implemented in Rust that rustpkg can run. Or not; I still don't really know what I'm doing yet.
Figured I'd prioritize resuming regular posting ahead of making informative postings ;-)
