INTERNAL ERROR, PLEASE REPORT THE PREVIOUS OUTPUT TO MAINTAINER

The command I'm calling works fine when entered at the console. Any 
idea what is causing this problem?

Here is one of the source code files for dar which shows where the 
error is coming from (I think), but I don't know cpp.

http://www.sfr-fresh.com/unix/privat/dar-2.3.8.tar.gz:a/dar-2.3.8/src/libdar/deci.cpp

Figured it out. It was a dar problem, and not a rebol problem. My 
script is working now.

hello, i have a slight problem.  i already have a sdk licence for 
windows and i need the sdk for linux

i know its possible to have it for 1 dollar but i dont find the way 
to have it

That's news to me.  I paid $50 less for my linux sdk.

you already had the windows sdk ?

Yes.

I had the windows command sdk.

xavier; Drop Cindy a note. She may be able to help you out, or at 
the very least, she knows what's what and is the final arbiter afaik.

.

Just ordered the SDK but I have not yet received the confirmation 
email. Is there usually a long delay?

Is the SDK being sold anymore?

can take a few hours

Did you use paypal or something else?

I told Carl of your purchase and Cindy will check it out.

I used master card. Still no email. 
I hope its being sold as I can't wait for r3...

Carl knows about it .. so don't worry!

what email acount did you use?

He's still on line on the R3alpha world ... I'll pass on your details. 
 Which SDK ?  Command or just pro?

pro 
[fergus4-:-bellatlantic-:-net]

sorry sdk -  not command and not pro

not command/sdk

Do thry still sell view/pro now that view has dll access?

Yes

Got it. Thanks for the help, Graham.

no problems

hope you get your product out there!  :)

What's the best way to detect different versions in an encapped script? 
For automatic update purposes. 

Should I just include some versioning syntax in the name of the updated 
exe that sits on the server?
Also...

I''m having trouble downloading exe's and saving them locally while 
preserving the icons. Do I use read-thru?

I use two methods.  One a cgi script that returns the version of 
the most current distro. If the user's version is less, they need 
to update.

The other way is just to use datestamps. I build in a build time 
into the binary, and use that to check against the latest version 
on the server.  If the server version is newer, the client knows 
to update.  There are some issues with different timezones etc, but 
generally my servers run GMT, and i compute the build time at the 
time of encapping also in GMT.

A script does the upload of the new build so that the build time 
and server file times are not so different .. and I allow an error 
of 5 minutes

I''m having trouble downloading exe's and saving them locally while 
preserving the icons. Do I use read-thru?


I'm not clear on the question. Are you changing the internal icons 
in the exe, and those are on your desktop, but they change when you 
install a new version?

This may be of help: http://www.dobeash.com/RebGUI/cookbook.html#section-2

If I download an exe file with a unique icon when I save it I get 
the widows default icon for exe's.

I'm using 'read-thru'  to download and 'write' to save it locally.

I'll look it over. Thanks Ashley.

I'm  not able to create an .exe with enface using drag and drop (as 
described in the intro doc). I'm using xp pro. 

Where is the exe placed after creation. The sdk bin folder? or the 
scripts folder? or somewhere else?

Found Gregg's EnList script. Cute and helpfull. I was able to encap 
the test scripts with it but drag and drop does not seem to work.

I've seen reference to "rebolve". Is this a rebol inc product?

I think there were some known issues with DnD. I never encap that 
way. Normally I have a build script that does one or more things, 
including encapping and using reshacker to replace icons in the EXE.

kib, you use the SDK to build .exe files. It's commercial.

Geomol: so that's a problem (for me indeed)

http://www.rebol.com/sdk.html

There is an alternate method, but it's not nearly as good. Don't 
remember what it's called though.

Henrik: but the SDK costs 249$ ! I'm not a professional programmer. 
Programming is just a hobby for me.

Why do you need .exe?

I saw this question many times before in Lisp community !  This is 
just to distibute my programs to non-programmers. It's just easier.

Well yes, it may be. A way to let others run your REBOL programs, 
is also to make a Reb Site in the REBOL Viewtop. Have you looked 
around the Viewtop, you see, when you start REBOL?

yes, it's unfortunately the only way to build executables properly. 
I hope with R3, the process will both be easier and less necessary 
where R3 becomes a more browser-like platform for launching programs. 
One that people will better understand than the Viewtop.
