works in OS X, not in Linux or Windows
Posted: Wed Sep 17, 2008 2:16 am
I have a group that does weird things - actually nothing - when I build a Windows or Linux standalone. In the standalones, it seems that this group does not receive messages. For example
on openstack
send startEncoder to group "encoder"
end openstack
works in OS X, but in the standalones it seems that startEncoder never gets the message. I know this because I have a test statement at the head of startEncoder - put 0 into field "log" - that in Windows & Linux does not put anything. It's only this group out of dozens that is misbehaving.
Anybody seen weirdness like this before? It reminds me of an old MetaCard bug I once saw.
My next step is simply to recrate the "encoder" group from scratch and start adding handlers one a time. But spooky stuff doesn't make me happy, because this program is controlling a million dollar telescope.
I'd be happy to drop it on one of my web sites if anyone would care to take a look.
I'm running the latest and greatest version 3, but this happens in 2.9 too.
