Following hallowed tradition, we begin with
the simplest visibly functional program
feasible, just to demonstrate the mechanics
of constructing and running a wafe
application:
#!/usr/local/bin/wafe --f
Command c topLevel \
label "Goodbye World!" \
callback {puts Goodbye; quit}
realize
If you create a textfile "goodbye.wafe" containing the above text, make it executable by doing
chmod +x ./goodbye.wafe
at the unix prompt, and then execute it by doing
./goodbye.wafe
you should see a small X window with "Goodbye!" written on it appear: Clicking on the "Goodbye!" should make the window vanish and the word "Goodbye" print out on the terminal.
(If the wafe executable is installed on
your system in some place other than
/usr/local/bin, you will need to change
the first line of the above script accordingly.)
If you prefer to save typing, all examples
shown are available in the examples/
directory.
