You forgot that you have to create a flexi stream first - in-memory streams happen to be provided by the same library but they're something different.

[ann] [beep-announce] mostly successful installation on SBCL / Linux
by pjm＠spe.com 04 Mar '06

04 Mar '06

I just installed cells-gtk-2006-02-16 on Fedora Core 4 using SBCL 0.9.10. I originally tried SBCL 0.9.3 but got fatal errors. I did get one condition raised regarding redefinition of a constant, but allowing it didn't seem to cause a problem. When I ran (test-gtk::gtk-demo) I got the following error: * (test-gtk::gtk-demo) debugger invoked on a CFFI:LOAD-FOREIGN-LIBRARY-ERROR in thread #<THREAD "initial thread" {A68C4C9}>: Unable to load foreign library: libcellsgtk.so Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL. restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name): 0: [RETRY ] Try loading the foreign library again. 1: [USE-VALUE] Use another library instead. 2: [ABORT ] Exit debugger, returning to top level.

I don't see an easy general solution but for the moment I've uploaded version 0.9.3 which offers the following workaround: <http://weitz.de/rdnzl/#*coerce-double-floats-to-single*> You should be able to (temporarily) rebind this variable to T for single float arguments. Well, UNLESS your .NET method's signature contains both System.Single /and/ System.Double. Let me know if that helps or if you have a better idea.

[ann] [gsharp-announce] Gsharp progress report
by Robert Strandh 15 Feb '06

15 Feb '06

Dear mailing list member, As promised, here is another Gsharp progress report, again mainly for those who follow neither the CVS mailing list nor the #lisp IRC channel. I have worked on several different things since the last progress report: * Key signatures are now Gsharp objects (as opposed to just vectors) with their own protocol. I did not change the external format yet again, and instead made it possible for the current one to deal with either representation; * Gsharp can now handle elements with zero duration. That turned out to be a major reorganization of the code. This functionality will be used for elements such as key signature changes and clef changes; * I changed the class hierarchy of elements according to a suggestion by Christophe Rhodes, so that there is now an additional class `rhythmic-element' that represents elements with non-zero duration; * The external format for representing buffer objects has been modified, though Gsharp can still read the old format. The new format is easier to extend with new types of objects. Instead of using a dispatch macro character, there is now a single macro character `[', which is followed by a fully qualified symbol name that indicates the name of the class of the object; * I reorganized the command tables so that the one used by the command loop can be determined by the type of the current layer, and the type of the element preceding the cursor. This makes it easier to use the same key strokes for different kinds of elements and different kinds of layers; * I started implementing ties. The code for representing ties in the buffer seems to be working. However, rendering ties is hard, and requires access to the book by Ted Ross, which I have now ordered so that I can finish this work. Rendering ties turns out to be messy in other ways as well, since most rendering code at the moment works "vertically" by measures, whereas ties need to be processed "horizontally" by layers; * I introduced two new packages esa-buffer and esa-io (that I hope will become part of a separate ESA library one day) which contain code adapted from Climacs that manages buffer/file i/o in an application independent way. I made Gsharp take advantage of these new packages to behave more like an editor application should, with named buffers and Emacs-style file i/o (C-x C-s, C-x C-w, etc); * Gsharp now has an `info pane' (what Emacs calls "mode line") that shows the name of the buffer, whether it needs saving, etc. Documentation changes: * I updated the documentation to reflect an old change from using a CLIM interactor pane to using an ESA minibuffer. The documentation is still not fully up-to-date, nor is it complete, but it is better than it was. New score: * There is a new, partially-completed score in the Scores directory. It is a tune used in a commercial on NZ TV. Minor fixes: * Fixed a bug that made Gsharp crash for empty clusters. These were used in one of the scores in the Scores directory, but I had not used that particular score to test Gsharp for a while. Now, all the scores in the Scores directory should work; * Fixed a bug that ignored the explicit x-offset of elements. This bug was introduced when the spacing algorithm was altered. One of the scores in the Scores directory needs explicit x-offsets in order to avoid overlaps of elements in crossing voices; * The temporary midi file generated by the `play' commands is not put in /tmp. It is still not uniquely named, nor is it cleaned up; * Fixed a bug that did not recognize modifications to lyrics elements so did not invalidate the corresponding element. Related fixes: * I modified the font viewer in the Fonts directory (another CLIM application) to play nicely with the others, and not destroy the port. Now the viewer can be used from the CLIM Desktop. That's all for this time. -- Robert Strandh --------------------------------------------------------------------- Greenspun's Tenth Rule of Programming: any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc informally-specified bug-ridden slow implementation of half of Common Lisp. --------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ gsharp-announce site list gsharp-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/gsharp-announce
