Introduction

Have a look at the description made for the WEL library. The same applies to EiffelVision2.

IDE

If you want to load the vision2 library you should use Eiffel Studio 5.6 as running any vision2 project on Eiffel Studio 5.7 ends in a segmentation fault and the up to date versions can't read any acex files yet.

Linux:

  • You find the vision2 ace file in the subdirectory $ISE_EIFFEL/precomp/library/spec/linux-x86/vision2/

Windows:

  • You find the vision2 ace file in the subdirectory %EIFFEL-ROOT%/precomp/library/spec/windows/vision2/

I tried as well opening the 5.6 library in 5.7 (as the 5.7 IDE is more advanced) but didn't succeed...

Instead of loading just the vision2 ace file it's more usefull (at least while getting to know the code) to create a new project that uses the vision2 libraries

Communication

We agreed to communicate via IRC (orwell.freenode.net/es-vision). For Windows user there are different programs available. For example:

Linux user (for ex.) one of the following

  • xchat
  • irssi (console-app.)

after downloading and installing, you can connect to a server with the command

/server <serveradress>

where <serveradress> is (for ex.) orwell.freenode.net (more freenode servers).

to enter our channel, type:

/join #es-vision

also you can set/change your nickname with

/nick <new_nick>

where <new_nick> is you nickname.
