I downloaded jit.gl.lua Beta 6 (I'm on a Mac). I was surprised to find nothing I could identify as a Max object or as instructions. It looks like the only way to use it is to compile it? I only have fleeting experience with compiling. I launched max.jit.gl.lua.xcodeproj on my Intel-based MacBook Pro which launched XCode... which I've never used. Fingers crossed, I hit the Build button and got 16 errors and 20 warnings. (The first several errors lead me to believe that there's some sort of file path that's not set up right.) Tried the same thing on G5 PPC and got 2 errors.

So I guess it all boils down to these questions:

1) What do I have to do to get jit.gl.lua up and running?

2) Do I also have to download and install anything from Lua.org?

3) Is there any documentation to the jit.gl.lua implementation at all... or do I just use the generic Lua docs? If there are specific docs, how do I access them?

Hi Jeff,
The build errors are probably due to your system not having the C74
SDK folders in the right place.  If you haven't done this kind of
thing before, it may seem arcane.  My guess is that it couldn't find
include files like jit.common.h etc.

Looks like I didn't put any compiled binaries in the B6 download.  I'l
take care of that tomorrow.  In the meantime, download 4.1 and you
should be good to go.
thanks,
wes

i like jit.gl.lua a lot. been using 4.1 under max4 for a while now 

but before i write too much code, would you care to comment on its 

future? do you plan to continue to update/support it? will scripts 

be compatible with jitter2? or will luaAV take over? (btw the svn

hello,
i like jit.gl.lua a lot.  been using 4.1 under max4 for a while now  
but before i write too much code, would you care to comment on its  
future?  do you plan to continue to update/support it?  will scripts  
be compatible with jitter2?  or will luaAV take over?  (btw the svn  
checkout has been broken for a while).
curious,

I didn't announce it when I updated my share page, but jit.gl.lua is

now open sourced and will continue to be maintained. The beta6 build,

which I'm going to update tomorrow, has a few bug fixes and added some

niceties like better error reporting. If anyone has any patches to

make or code suggestions, I will act as the maintainer and fold those

in to the source for release. The way I see things now, unless anyone

has serious bugs to report, jit.gl.lua is stable and I don't foresee

any big changes being made to it with the one caveat of possibly

adding obex scripting support but this is a lower priority than other

tasks at hand as the object is primarily for OpenGL 3D and not patcher

scripting like JS. Current scripts will most definitely be compatible

with future versions of Jitter with no changes needing to be made.

The Jitter object model and current object set/API will continue to

exist in Jitter2 and future versions, ensuring this compatibility.

LuaAV is a totally separate project that is part of my phd research

and exists independently of jit.gl.lua. Thanks for the heads up about

svn. I'll look into it. I'm not using the anonymous svn access, so I

might not catch it if that part goes down for whatever reason. In the

future, you can send me a message about this offline or via the

great. thank you Wesley, this is very reassuring to hear. it looked

great.  thank you Wesley, this is very reassuring to hear.  it looked  
a bit like you'd abandoned jit.gl.lua, put up the source there in  
current state and gone off to do luaAV.
but i'll worry no longer.
