05:12 <stellar-slack> <graydon> ok, yeah, after upgrading my mac and its xcode, I can both reproduce the problem and confirm that ^^ that fixes it

11:15 <stadja> Hello guys !

11:15 <stadja> I'd like to develop a small app using horizon's api

11:16 <stadja> what would be the easiest way to generate xdr transaction representation ?

11:16 <stellar-slack> <bartek> what language are you using?

11:17 <stadja> well

11:17 <stadja> php or javascript

11:18 <stellar-slack> <bartek> then you can use js sdk: https://github.com/stellar/js-stellar-sdk and api reference is here: https://stellar.github.io/js-stellar-sdk/

11:18 <stellar-slack> <bartek> we don't have php sdk (yet)

11:19 <stadja> thanks

11:20 <stadja> but is the javascript sdk usable without node ?

11:20 <stadja> (I mean use it as a library for exemple ?)

11:20 <stellar-slack> <bartek> yes, if you're using npm, the package name `stellar-sdk`: https://npmjs.com/package/stellar-sdk

11:21 <stadja> cool !

11:21 <stadja> so I'll test that

11:28 <stellar-slack> <bartek> oh, you mean *without* node. then you can use bower or just download a build file from here: https://github.com/stellar/bower-js-stellar-sdk

15:48 <stellar-slack> <otto_mora> XDR

15:49 <stellar-slack> <otto_mora> sorry, I meant to actually search for that, please ignore

17:17 <stellar-slack> <danielpauljones> I see all of the npm packages out there. which is the best if i just want to create a transaction ? I want to send the transaction through a REST call from c#. I am having trouble with stellar-sdk in visual studio and seems like overkill for what I am trying to do. Should i trouble shoot my issue with the stellar-sdk npm or is there another simpler way to go?

17:18 <stellar-slack> <bartek> what kind of problems are you having with stellar-sdk?

17:32 <stellar-slack> <bartek> @danielpauljones: ^

17:34 <stellar-slack> <danielpauljones> in visual studio - Debugger listening on port 5858 C:\code\stellartest1\node_modules\stellar-sdk\node_modules\stellar-base\node_modules\ed25519\node_modules\bindings\bindings.js:83 throw e ^ Error: The specified module could not be found. \\?\C:\code\stellartest1\node_modules\stellar-sdk\node_modules\stellar-base\node_modules\ed25519\build\Release\ed25519.node

17:34 <stellar-slack> <danielpauljones> first try at node.js in VS - so most likely my inexperience

17:36 <stellar-slack> <bartek> I have no experiense with VS but it looks like node bindings required by `ed25519` were not compiled

17:37 <stellar-slack> <bartek> does this help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14278417/cannot-install-node-modules-that-require-compilation-on-windows-7-x64-vs2012 ?

17:38 <stellar-slack> <danielpauljones> So i should try to make steller-sdk npm work? Seems like it, just wanted to make sure before i headed down this path. There is not an easier way to create transaction hash.

17:40 <stellar-slack> <bartek> if you want to build an app, you need to have a package to build transactions (for js: stellar-sdk). but if you only need to build a few transactions it can be better to use https://www.stellar.org/laboratory/

17:41 <stellar-slack> <danielpauljones> OK need App, will get back to you when i find the problem. I am sure it is me and VS. thanks

17:43 <stellar-slack> <jed> danielpauljones: You can also try building the tx in go or some other language if node is giving you issues

18:37 <stellar-slack> <raymens> @jed @danielpauljones there's a PR in the xdrgen project that generates usable C# XDR bindings, very low level though and not optimal

18:40 <stellar-slack> <scott> crap, I forgot that was even there @raymens. Sorry about that. Let me check it out today

18:41 <stellar-slack> <raymens> hehe, no problem
