Get Opera 10.6a they will be releasing it on all the platforms in a couple of weeks.

Hi Henri

I tested 32-bit versions. I used Firefox from the official Ubuntu Repositories and Chrome from it’s official homepage.

Versions
Chrome:4.0.249.43
Firefox: 3.5.7

I guess I used the versions available to the broad pubic, (at that time).
If you have any suggestions for me, I will try to respect them for the future comparisons.

Thank you

Did you test 32-bit or 64-bit? Firefox 3.6 doesn’t have a JS JIT in 3.6 (coming in 4.0). Did you test Firefox builds from Canonical or Mozilla Corporation (different linkage)? Which channel of Chrome did you test? For an apples-to-apples comparison, you should test Chrome stable channel against Firefox releases. OTOH, if you tested a development version of Chrome, you should test trunk nightlies of Firefox.

Here is the updated steps for the new version of Vala.
for the prep:
sudo apt-get install flex bison gobject-introspection libglib2.0-dev

everything else the same-

the sample code should be updated as follows:
hello.vala
———-
class Demo.HelloWorld : GLib.Object {

public static int main(string[] args) {

stdout.printf(“Hello, World\n”);

return 0;
}
}

to compile and run:
$ valac hello.vala
$ ./hello

Thx for the tutorial,

user@computer:$ sudo apt-get install flex lex bison yacc glib gobject-introspection libglib2.0-dev

saying flex, yacc and glib packages does not exist.

Comment on Flash/ActionScript3 “Programming” under Ubuntu by Thierry

Hi Rodrigo,

I guess you only need to import the libraries…Sorry I have been out of flash for months and I am far off any decent internetconnection, so I cannot test it for you.

But I guess you need to add import fl.transitions add the beginning of the file?

Hi,
The BIG problem with this approach is that you won’t be able to access fundamental libraries like fl.transitions and Tweens.
Has anyone come about solving this?

Cheers,
Rod
