@tedchoward @davew Just pull the latest develop to get the updates. I also have another PR coming in that fixes some eggregious issues in dot-path resolution. That'll take maybe 20 min, so you'll want to pull again and rebuild in just a bit.
@tedchoward @davew Well, I got a little ahead of myself. The REPL should work for some basic stuff, but there are still dot-path search issues I have to track down. This one has been a slog, but making slow and steady progress. Either way it's worthwhile to pull again and rebuild. From the top-level of the project you should be able to run:
./frontier-cli/frontier-cli ./databases/Frontier.root
... to start the REPL.

@jsavin @davew I’m getting a build error when I run `make -C frontier-cli`
```
› make -C frontier-cli
../third_party/cmake-install/bin/cmake -S ../third_party/Paige -B ../third_party/Paige/build-headless -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES="arm64;x86_64"
/bin/sh: ../third_party/cmake-install/bin/cmake: Bad CPU type in executable
make: *** [../third_party/Paige/build-headless/libpaige.a] Error 126
```
It looks like it’s trying to use an embedded version of cmake. -

@tedchoward @davew aah. Good to know. I'll have a look later. I've got an Intel machine I can try it on

@tedchoward @davew And around now you're going to start to notice a whole bunch of stuff that's very broken. 😉
For example I just tried parentOf (string.mid) and got system.compiler.["kernel"].string, which is totally wrong. Heheh. (That's the next battle. Then back to networking.)

@tedchoward I fixed the bug that was causing weird dot-path lookups (I think). You should pull latest develop and rebuild to get it. [cc @davew]

jake savin is making good progress on porting frontier to run, headless, on linux and mac os. just wanted to make sure you were in the loop.
hope all is well! been following your work on old PCs, many of which i used "back in the day."
I _so_ miss Frontier (and its babies). Eager to se this happen!

i am totally looking forward to it too.
jake is doing amazing work, and i'm going to be sure to clear a lot of my time when he's ready for me to start building stuff with Frontier on Linux.

@aeva @halcy yep, absolutely. compare to minecraft, whose larger part was done by just one person (hatsune miku), and so you get this systems driven open world game where all systems overlap interplay and relate to each other in a way only someone who doesn't have to coordinate dozens of teams could set up.
-
@lritter @halcy a fun thing about making massive worlds with hundreds of people working together in parallel is you have to favor modular designs that require less synchronization between teams, for the same reason you try to avoid it in parallel programs. I think that's why Nintendo abandoned the classic Zelda structure and the new Zelda's all have modular gameplay systems, for example.

@aeva @halcy in fact i think the primary reason to play a typical western AAA game is to experience a setpiece with detailed realism, and then only after that come the mechanics, how you actually spend your time there, and they feel kind of bolted on.
compare this to e.g. super mario 3d world, where being able to parse the scene quickly is crucial to a good experience, and so all visual design flows around this goal of enabling the mechanics.

@halcy imagine though trying to make, say, Call of Duty with Project Gold's digital painting tool. The results would probably look amazing tbh, but it wouldn't look like Call of Duty.
