Just a quick note to perl6-compilers that I've just committed a patch (timely submitted by Andy Dougherty) that should enable p6ge to compile under OSX and a few other environments a bit more cleanly. More details to come soon. Pm ----- Forwarded message from "Patrick R. Michaud" <pmichaud@pobox.com> ----- Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2004 16:37:33 -0700 From: "Patrick R.

It really should all be unsigned characters, and its fixed now, as well as the bunches of warnings that gcc was giving when compiling everything. > Without understanding the underlying design, I don't know offhand what to > recommend, but this patch works for me and highlights spots where some > further thought might be needed. Thanks a *bunch* for this -- I've gone ahead and applied the patches (along with other cleanups) and committed them into CVS. A test suite harness for p6ge should be coming within the next day or so-- stay tuned. Pm ----- End forwarded message -----
