in thread Perl 6 ... dead?
Unfortunately, time, willingness and enthusiasm are not enough. Not only must you have these, and C skills, a hi-speed link that doesn't bill you by the minute, you must have a complete understanding of:
- CVS
- rsynch
- diff
- patch
- Configure
- (g)make
- yacc
- lexx
- gcc extensions to standard C.
Basically, being a fully paid-up unix system programmer is the base criteria.
And that's before you start trying to understand pir, pasm and pick your way through a directory structure that is twice the size it could be because it contains everything including a gob load of stuff that is completly irrelevant to the basic parrot code. Compilers for half a dozen, half completely irrelevant languages amongst other stuff.
And woe betide you if you mention that your trying to build parrot on a Win32 system.
