Serpent Files

README.txt -- information about serpent and wxserpent

AUTHOR: Roger B. Dannenberg

NOTE: under OS X 10.5, I cannot simply build a binary for wxserpent. 
Instead, I have to build an application. You can run from the command 
line using open -a PATH/wxserpent.app init.srp -- this will pass 
init.srp to the running application. You pretty much have to run like 
this from the command line right now. When compiled with DBGLOG, 
(wx)serpent(.app) will print stdout to a file (srp.log for serpent,
wxs.log for wxserpent.app) as well as to the console or text 
output window. You can use "tail -f wxs.log" to echo the data to the
console to aid in debugging. Note that due to some update problems,
you cannot print to the text output window from within a redraw 
routine, but the text will appear in wxs.log, so this is useful
for debugging redraw routines.

I put the following in ~/bin/wxserpent so I can type "wxserpent init.srp":

#!/bin/sh
echo "running wxserpent with arguments $*"
/Users/rbd/serpent/wxs/Release/wxserpent.app/Contents/MacOS/wxserpent $*
