I'm trying to get wallaroo set up, but pony is giving me compile errors on the alphabet example
<numberMumbler>
so make fails :(
<numberMumbler>
I have ponyc-wallaroolabs-19.2.14 and `ponyc examples/helloworld` (from the Ubuntu Installation instructions) works...
<numberMumbler>
but in the wallaroo repo, `ponyc examples/pony/alphabet/` gives a bunch of syntax errors
<numberMumbler>
sound familiar to anyone?

numberMumbler: Without seeing the errors specifically, it's likely that you're using the wrong Pony compiler. Wallaroo's releases 0.1.x require Wallaroo Labs' fork of the `ponyc` compiler.
<slfritchie>
Wallaroo's `master` branch no longer has requirement.
<slfritchie>
So, if you're very strictly following the examples in the online Wallaroo book, then using a Git tag or specific commit related to version 0.1.
<slfritchie>
The tedious extra steps required by the book to compile the Wallaroo fork of the Pony compiler is necessary.
<slfritchie>
In the next few days, 0.2 will be finished, and that compiler dependency will be removed.
<slfritchie>
Using `ponyc --version`can help debug.
<numberMumbler>
right now, I'm only using make... master branch, and ponyc is from the wallaroo labs fork :-/
<slfritchie>
Ah, master branch cannot use the wallaroo labs fork any longer.
<slfritchie>
Congrats/condolences for falling into the gap.
<slfritchie>
I hope you're the only one, but it's tough to tell.
<numberMumbler>
haha I win! :)
<numberMumbler>
thanks

I've got to drop the computer and wander to downtown Minneapolis for a theater show. I hope your experiments go smoothly once you're using the new-proper compiler.
