livecode crashing on making standalone

[bbalmerTotalFluency]

Hi:

I've resolved this already after a rather tedious 5 hours. Thought I'd document this here in case it is useful to anyone - as I couldn't find anything on line about it.

The short update on how I mostly 95% fixed the problem.

1. suppressed messages as per the brilliant suggestion below - that made a huge difference

2. make sure you don't build it to the desktop. That causes trouble. In the end I built to /Users/bruce

3. Still not completely solved I found, for reasons I don't understand, that if I navigate to a blank card I made, that really helps too.

You can and probably should suppress messages when building

that hasn't SOLVED my problem, but it has mitigated it by about 80-90%. So thanks for that.

I had never heard of suppressing messages while building; very logical in hindsight.

The problem was that loading my app automatically caused the appearance of an answer dialogue box. And THAT was the source of all my trouble.

I make standalones all the time, involving a splash stack along with a main stack with substacks, If I have messages suppressed the build always fails. What am I missing?

I'm not sure the IDE honors suppressing messages, since it now leaves messaging open while building. It didn't used to but that was changed in LC 9.x. The workaround is this: https://www.mail-archive.com/use-liveco ... 98034.html

Not convenient, but usually works. I wish they'd left it alone as it was before.

Do we have an open bug report on this? User experiences like this will hurt adoption.

Im sure you’re right, but it did solve my problems when building win/macos apps on macOS… so I do this as a matter of course, as I’ve not had any ill effects from doing this…
