LiveCode Forums.

the question I have here is why even the simplest example


on mouseUp pMouseButton
answer "hello world"
end mouseUp


generates error on save to web - I've went through the tutorial herer http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4071/l/800867-how-do-i-put-my-first-app-on-the-web but got the same errors ...

So I'm going delete one of them, which one shall I delete?

sorry - should have deleted the one on the other thread since there's no real HTML 5 support there ...

Ok, so I am getting ready to deploy, I am using "Save as standalone application .."
I create a super simple app that has a button, which has answer "hello world" in its mouseUp event
simple, right?
I have a few question:

1. the size is HUGE, I got a 40Mb installation which takes 5 seconds to ...

I totally agree with everything said and it IS true - on linux it works quirky but MUCH better
but being mainly a Windows user - due to my son's requirement, and also trying to deploy to web which is a total waste of time, this is my experience on windows:
* too slow to work with
* web -> generates ...

my CPU load is very low, it's around 25%, livecode doesn't create a CPU spike at all, it just hangs.
I don't know how or why I'd need to setup debugging stepping into/out functions, I've been developing for over 30 years, and never experienced a strange situation like this, I don't mind uploading my ...

@Mikey - you gave me the answer - the inclusion comes from behavior or code or anything like that, there's no central point that holds all the 'necessary files' needed to run a project
that's fine, I just needed an answer (that answer)
Thanks

@bogs, I somewhat disagree with your comparison:
Card is indeed like form, but stacks are like project, and what I am missing here is the concept of solution

you can have dependancies between stacks (just like you'd have in .net - using that example) to define the dependencies between the projects ...

debugging on windows is pretty much impossible, just stepping takes abuot 5-10 seconds for no REAL actions (e.g. stepping into a function, over defining local) nothing that does any real computing, so I suspect something about debugging is just.

another thing I've noticed is that I am using long ...

I meant no disrespect, every language has its benefits, I guess my main annoyance comes from the fact my son went to a course where they chose LiveCode as the environment (hence my insistning on LC for his first 2-3 projects) but his understanding of actual programming concept is little to none ...

the revert is cool - I'll give it a shot asap
I think at this point of time as far as IDEs go, we've come to expect certain things such as:
"it seem that the stack (source?) has been changed , would you like to reload it ?" if not have it auto relaod, even notepad++ does that for you ...

still ...

you can lock any thread you'd like
I am good with that

For #2, I'm assuming you're seeing that on Windows, yes?


yes, I am on windows 10, it's dog slow, not feasible to work at all this way - reminds me of the bad days of eclipse some 15 years ago
plus the lack of code complete - and the total confusion of lack of "project/solution' file that ...

no idea, it got there, I deleted it ...
I still get the errors of 'stack already opened'
I have to close and remove from memory before I compile to exe - this gives me 1-3 error messages, otherwise I just kill LC after about 10

I only have 4 stacks opened - I can't seem to attach images here, any reason ?
is there any other way other than "Poject browser" to see which stacks are currently open ?

this brings be to the first question - I think because my stacks tries to open an already opened stack - it goes crazy on the ...
