I am also interested in Phix. I tried it once, but had the same problem as Chris. Would you mind explaining what the significance of Phix is, and how it compares to OpenEuphoria? And how does it build/compile itself compared to how OpenEuphoria binds/translates? What are your future plans for Phix? I am really curious.

See http://openeuphoria.org/forum/m/117059.wc

To that I would add native threads are complete and that Phix self-hosts on Linux, though not much else works there yet. Two other things I know are missing are regular expressions and sockets.

Phix is self hosted, no other tools required. All done in 15 seconds or less - just run "p -c p", or "./phix -c p" on Linux.

Just today, I got my first ever pure-Phix dll working, in preparation for getting .so to run properly on Linux (whether pure-Phix or not), and getting more things working on Linux is top of the list (or should be, I keep on finding excuses to do more Windows stuff, like creating dlls, porting Edita to pGUI/IUP, or yet more rosettacode entries).

I find pAlloc.e in https://bitbucket.org/petelomax/phix/raw/772b4c59b783910a1ad6b6d82046c5ff7f5999d2/builtins/pAlloc.e and install it in builtin folder Solved question :)

Phix\demo\win32lib\w32utils.e contains

Rather cleverly and quite correctly, the Phix compiler has spotted a bug in the code for you that OE completely missed, albeit one (erm, two) that no-one has ever reported, either.

You could get rid of the other warning with either

    return sq_floor(sq_rmdr({a,a/#10000},#10000)) 

or, more compatible with OE,

    return {floor(remainder(a,#10000)),floor(remainder(a/#10000,#10000))} 

I personally ditched win32lib over a decade ago, I think arwen is better, but still windows 32 bit only, and plan on using pGUI (32/64 bit, and win/lnx) from now on.
You may or may not find using the demo\win32lib\ version goes better than the one you have installed for OE, but it may not be the latest version.

Oh - I just checked and actually Phix ships with demo\win32lib6\, which is even older, v0.60.6 from 2004, and there's no w32utils.e in that version.
Then again, I suppose I should just say outright that I have no time or sympathy for anyone who "cannot live without win32lib"!
Nah - that's too harsh. Instead I'll say "If you need a later Phix-compatible win32lib, tell me the version and I'll see what I can do."
