I have always wondered how compilers and interpreters work not to forget the debugger. It is a tall order - but I will persist :-) (hopefully...) Could you tell me what you need libffi for? Anyway I also use more time to practice programming in Gambas. I am sure there are other's who do the same and produce those valuable little pieces of code. Those people should be asked to send them to somewhere to be collected. And a rule should be that nobody uses word "stupid" when having a look at them :-) I have a domain kllog.net, which I bought for other purpose but it is now unused - I could start collecting these examples there (or maybe the allbasic.info want's to do that) - then people could suggest which are good enough to be part of the Gambas distribution.

[Gambas-user] Creating a library
Hi List! I've written a kind of library, where I droped my standard routines. At the moment, I have to compile this class every time with my projects. Is there someone on this list, who can tell me, what I have to do, to compile the library separately and how I can get access to the methods in the library, when I want to use them in my project?

The ^ is at the position where th error is.
Is the field temp_image existing?
Is the _ also allowed in field names as it looks allowed in table names?
What is your field an table name and are they following the syntax rules
of posgresql, the database system you use, as I rememeber well?
Just reading what I typed I see clin_consult.temp_image(piccie) (values)
Do you mean the field -=- clin_consult.temp_image -=- in table -=- piccies -=-
or the table -=- clin_consult.temp_image -=- in filed -=- piccies -=- ?
Should the fieldname not be surrond with quotes while a dot in the
name in most caases is not allowed.
As far I know the only safe are just only alphanummeric and underscore
and a name as -=- clin_consult.temp_image -=- looks to me as invalid
without qoutes surrounding this name constuction.
Try to add a field as 'myfiled' in the table and insert into that filed.
to find out you current fieldname is a invalid field name.Best regards

When he is a ISP and a customer of that ISP is the owner of the wiki then the customer need the permission and the orginating publisher can ask the ISP to knock off the customers wiki site when no permision exsists.

[Gambas-user] Problem fixed in gb.db.sqlite3
Hi, I fixed an important bug in the Sqlite3 Gambas driver in revision 1536. The driver sometimes truncated the value of fields in query results. This bug appears recently for the following reason: There is a missing feature in the function that run SQL queries (sqlite3_exec) in the sqlite3 library, that prevented me from implementing Blob support. So I took the source code of this function and rewrote it for my needs. And SQLite changed, and so the old code did not work, and so I had to update it. Of course, this situation is far from perfect, but I see no other solution at the moment. Maybe I should write to the SQLite author to ask him to add what I need in the sqlite3_exec function.

The publisher wil not make it GPL if they can have financial profit of it when they sell the book. Asking the publisher to make it GPL will be need as it is posible they do not know about GPL, it is in general not in there interest anyway for the complete work/book. Because the current book as-is is so outdated they maybe well willing to do but take in account that if so many people want it free as wiki they have also still posible customers for selling. It's a bit contra. Any way it is in best interest for allBasic to prevent illlegal as much as possible and getting permision before is always better as telling 'I did not know' afterwards just in this grey situation. If he do not want ask the permission then he should not use the book as basic start source with copy/paste but type his interpretation in his own words and the gambas community can add/correct this content.

Does the publisher even own the copyright in this case? Rittinghouse used a vanity press, by the looks of the book a print-on-demand one, and they often don't. I would check my copy but it's still packed following my most recent move. If he'd used CafePress or Lulu I would feel safe saying they absolutely don't own it, but as I recall he used a different one. At any rate, the biggest obstacle to wikifying the book was the fact that we don't have the original document. Even then it'd take a lot of work. Benoit's original Gambas documentation was much shorter and it still took me weeks to get it into the original Gambas wiki which eventually fell into disrepair and disorganization, just as I think the one based on this book eventually would. MediaWiki is a better wiki than TWiki was, but a book needs a fundamental organization to it. I think that if someone wants to proceed with this, you'll need to get in touch with John -- or, if the worst has happened, with his estate.

Everyone will say ys go for it. If you like experimenting, have time and want to learn something as a wiki I would say go for it but try first a private wikisite to get the feeling how it works. And as usual on forums and mailists, everyone wants all kind of stuff but contribute to it is to much work so you will be long time on your own. See the start of allBasic, the idea is good, the frontpage give a nice view what is avalable but as Rob Kudla already mentioned the contribution should be more to make the site a hit to go look for information. Yes it need time to grow up and time will tell. As time passes by every new site should at least half the content of an already existing site to have a value for the visitor or a very special and unique subject to attrackt people for a visit and posible contribution. For realy good sites you need 2 hands (10 fingers) the remaining you need the hands of all china people. Conclusion? It is better to spend time to help other potential good sites in the growup period then starting a new site. Concentrating information has more value then spread it out over different sites that lose the interest of the visitors who did like the site so much. allBasic site is willing to host the wiki as he told and initialized already. Fabian Bodard did make gambasforge.net and got a lot contributions but he has to less time to maintenance the site well. Gareth Bult has made http://gambasrad.org/ and spend a lot of time but the last entry in documentation is around Nov 2007, except 1 in Jan 2008. This one was/is connected with the gambas wiki from Benoit and the maillist. The forum is still alive but topic/post versus views is enorm. There is need of practical examples with documentation other then the syntax of the gambas Basic languageas proven by the many requests. Willing to provide exists but a few do it in practice.

Re: [Gambas-user] Nice book of Gambas
I'm not certain how much the publisher cares. Feel free to let me know if this has already been hashed over. Excerpt from page 2 of the book: "All rights reserved. Personal use of this material is permitted. However, permission to reprint/republish this material for advertising or promotional purposes or for creating new collective works for resale or redistribution to servers or lists, or to reuse any copyrighted component of this work in other works must be obtained from the author, John W. Rittinghouse." Without diving into technicalities, I think that just about covers it. And trying to find a way around it will likely take more effort than just creating a new/original work from the community. I originally offered to assist with getting the dead-tree version of the book up-to-date without knowing Mr. Rittinghouse's personal concern that will likely prevent him from continuing work on the book. It was from that thought that the wiki idea was brought up by John (allbasic). I'm personally not very interested in wiki since wiki doesn't travel well on airplanes (I fly for a living) or to hotels with spotty internet access. I have a strong preference for paper. My offer still stands. I'd be willing to offer my time to help edit a [new] book for Gambas. I do a fair job at spell checking and some general grammar cleanup. This is my feeling: I think what may be best is not to attempt to use/revise/rehash this book out of respect for Mr. Rittinghouse, but perhaps to create a new book altogether (paper, electronic, whatever). I started creating some very basic documentation (based almost exclusively on gambasdoc.org/help) for my personal use, but what I really want--and probably what most everyone learning Gambas wants--is a lot of good examples.

OpenOffice are text files zipped, so you can create a spreadsheet with OpenOffice, and use it as a template with your Gambas program by unzipping it, modifying the content.xml file, and zip it back. I'm using this method with the web application I develop in Gambas for my job. I generate OpenOffice documents, Word/Excel documents and PDF.

[Gambas-user] Getting a picture back from postgres
Now that I've finally inserted the picture, are there any tricks for getting it back and re-viewing it - someone I think it wont be just a simple query, I used the code in Picture database I can extract the blob, but now trying to write to a file it complains about 'getting blob' and wanting a string I guess one somehow has to reverse the process.
