Naalaa 6 - Linux Installer

[1micha.elok]

Hi Marcus,

I found Naalaa 6 - Linux Installer on my harddisk (please find the attachement file included here).
I don't know whether it is still working or not, but it may bring a good old time memories

Downloaded and extracted the folder. Ran a sample demo. "could not fetch the compiler result."

The dependencies, zenity and xclip, are already part of my system.

Hi Johnno56,

hmm...it's a bit strange....
on my linux, it's working successfully.
I tested Naalaa6 on Linux : Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS 64-bit.

Herewith my step by step on a linux terminal :
1. compile [ hello.nala ]  
    $ ./ned hello.nala
2. the result will have two files [ hello ], and [ hello.sbe ] 
3. run the result
    $ ./hello
4. On your linux there will be some dancing lines 

Herewith what inside [ hello.nala ]

Code:

Problem seemed to be the 'naalaa6' program in the './bin' directory. Checking the properties of the file showed that it was not flagged as an executable. Changed the properties and 'hello.nala' now compiles and runs without error. "Mystify". Cute. lol

Many thanks for the assist. Appreciated.
