Transferred code from Mac to PC version 7.0.3 not working

Post by JeanGuilbault » Thu Mar 12, 2015 4:32 am

Bonjour,

I encountered the following problem when copying threw DropBox some basic code test I wrote on a Mac using version 7.0.3 commercial. OSX 10.9.5.
This small program only have two cards and a code in the main-stack pre open to resize the screen on any android or iphone hardware.
For the iphone I use a provisioning profile to deliver the app
For the Android I use a .keystore to sign the app and send it by email for testing on the cels.
On the Mac it compiles properly and get install on both type of hardware with success.

When I transfer this code by DropBox to my PC (Livecode 7.0.3 commercial and Windows 8.1) setup I can open the code properly and make correction to it.
But I am not able to compile for Android, nothing append, it does not even start do compile the class...
By the way it also does not compile a Windows version, nothing appends, the compilation does not start

If I create a new app on the PC, or copy the cards and small resizing script to a new main-stack created on the PC,
using the .keystore I am able to sign and distribute with success the app to Android cel.
If I send this .livecode back threw Dropbox to my Mac, the code compile correctly using the .keystore on the MAC.

Have any of you encountered the same problem of not being able to compile on a PC some .livecode created on a Mac ?
Have you had the same one way problem (MAC to PC) with your code ?

Please let me know your feedback

Merci
Jean

Hi,
Can't speak to the odd Windows-side build issues, but for drop box transfers I always zip the files before dropping them.
HTH,
Tom Bodine

Merci for your advice Tom,

I tried .zip files in and out, and still getting the same error of not being able to compile on Windows if the code comes from the Mac

Regards,
Jean Guilbault
