Re: externals in LiveCode vs RunRev

By that, you mean the "User Extensions" setting in Preferences... Files & Memory? Setting that did not resolve the issue. Interestingly enough, this was never set in RunRev 4.0. But your suggestions jogged my memory. When I set up RunRev 4.0, I had to go into the Run Rev application folder and add m...

externals in LiveCode vs RunRev

Hello - I have been using RunRev 4.0 on and off for a year or so and decided to give LiveCode 4.6.2 a try. Right off the bat I'm having problems calling external functions. Have the rules for eternal calls changed? Searching through the forums and Google didn't yield anything. The issue is that RunR...

Re: weird revExternalLibrary issues with standalone Mac app

Yeah, that stuff is kinda cryptic to the newcomer. I just sorta hacked away at the build enviornment until the errors went away. The Stack that uses the externals seems to run now, even on PPC. I guess I'm done until I hear otherwise.... :roll: But I figure making the proper fix would be as easy as ...

Re: weird revExternalLibrary issues with standalone Mac app

Excellent diagnostics Mr. Wieder. Agreed. :D Again, many thanks. I would have been stuck for weeks, probably. The ExtenalsEnvironmentV3 downloadable from the tutorial http://www.runrev.com/developers/lessons-and-tutorials/tutorials/advanced-externals-part-1/ is now out of date. It references an OSX...

Re: weird revExternalLibrary issues with standalone Mac app

OK, well isn't this interesting. I've sent the little test app to several friends, and so far: * revExternalLibrary gets loaded correctly if they are running Snow Leopard (app ran correctly on 5 out of 5 machines running 10.6.4) * revExternalLibrary fails to load if they are running Leopard (failed ...

Re: weird revExternalLibrary issues with standalone Mac app

OK, here's another data point: I sent the app to another friend (and who - and I don't know if this matters - does NOT have the RunRev tools). He's running 10.6.4, and the application seems to run fine on his Mac. Both libraries are shown when the stacksinuse button is pushed, and the app seems to b...

Hello - I'm still pretty new to RunRev (been using it for the past 6 months). I am having a problem where standalone applications run fine on my Macs, but throw error 573,37,1 on my client's Macs. Some details: I'm using Revolution Studio 4.0.0 on the Mac platform. I'm running OSX 10.6.4. My app use...

How to detect and handle an External's runtime error?

Hello - I'm very new to Revolution, and I've searched here and asked The Google but have not been able to find an answer. Apologies in advance if this topic has already been covered somewhere. How does one detect and handle a runtime error occuring in an External function call? The IDE halts and dis...
