  |
|
| im new to chuck - hi all. i am able to chuck shreds with the audicle & miniaudicle, but command line is giving me problems. i can chuck a shred directly but if i chuck --loop, i cant get anything to run. and, being new to terminal (OSX 10.4.11) can someone explain " %> " at the start of every line in the documentation? is that the prompt that is suppose to be there or do you type that? when i type that i get this - "-bash: fg: %: no such job". any help would be greatly appreciated! |

Hi, Barry!

Yes, that's right. "chuck --loop" won't return you to the prompt. At that stage you can open a second terminal (bash) window and you type "chuck + my_file.ck" there. This adds that file to the virtual machine you just set up. This means you have one window where chuck runs and reports on anything that happened (the first) and another window where you can give commands like adding and removing shreds.

The "%>" is just the prompt, it means you can give commands, on my Linux box here the bash prompt is a "$>", when you log in as root (to do administration) it'll likely look different, for example "#>". This is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.
I found you a manual; http://www.ss64.com/osx/
Useful commands for chucking;
ls (lists the contents of a directory)
cd (change working directory)
rm (delete a file)
cp (copy a file)
pico (gets you a small and simple txt editor)
That's probably most of what you need for chucking.

The command "chuck --loop" make ChucK running and waiting for you to add shreds. You can do it by opening another terminal window and then adding from ther with:
chuck + foo.ck (supposing you have a foo.ck file)
You can also put ChucK in background, letting you to use just one window. You have to use the same command, but with the & at the end, so:
chuck --loop &
I've never tried this on a Mac, but it should work.

I think it represents a general prompt shell.
Anyway you can type "chuck --shell" to enter the ChucK shell. From here you add shreds just typing:
+ foo.ck
I think the "loop" mode is better
