Missing PyRexx.cls, PyRexx.dll and Pyrexx.py

[rjidenburg]

Subject files are not there, instructions for building them are incomplete. After downloading and installing Msys2 it is not clear what to do next.

The CMakeLists.txt seems to suggest I need to do something with Cmake, but invoking it yields an error for line 2 ( the project line ).

Any suggestions would be welcome

I managed to compile and link orxpython.cpp by modifying the CMakeLists.txt to run under Ubuntu 24.04. Now on to doing some python interaction.

The orx-version seems to be real work in progress since the hello.rex py~print version is not recognized. So I tried to run the alpha.0 version with PyRexx and that seems to work ok. Looks like changing the init method to activate for the class has some drawbacks. All the testGroups work on an individual basis ( with -f option) the testrun with the -x option to exclude the datetime.testGroup runs into a segmentfault.

Ok, now that all directives are class level, no py=.Pythonnew, but .Pythonprint("Hello World")

All the previous accomplished with:

Open Object Rexx Version 5.2.0 r13054
Build date: Dec 31 2025
Addressing mode: 64
and
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
Release: 24.04
Codename: noble
and
cmake version 3.28.3

and
Python 3.12.3

I used this CMakeLists.txt (which also worked on Linux Mint 21.3) for Ubuntu 24.04
