World: r3wp

The 2.7.7 release wasn't originally going to be an SDK update, but 
we realized the changes were quite minor, so did it anyway. "A mistake." 
The 2.7.8 release will be correct for the SDK/Command etc.

ok thanks for the update.

I have command sdk license for Windows and also a separate sdk license 
for linux.  So, there is no point in upgrading both ??

I don't know if this is an SDK issue or what.  I have an encapped 
application that under windows xp, the copy and paste works fine 
with control c and v.  But under Windows 7, it's not doing anything.

probe the keystrokes events within a face to see just what is happening.

Restart windows and the issue goes away

So, do we have to wait for 2.7.8 SDK to upgrade ? What about the 
upgrade command inside Rebol? When R3 is finished, do we have to 
buy a new sdk for R3?

2.7.7 sdk seems to be a mistake.

I know Graham, but what about the next updates?

I would expect that you either won't need a sdk for R3 if you have 
host kit ... or, it will cost you :)

the message is that it costs $50 to upgrade and that's good for a 
year

Of course ignoring the fact that for years there are not upgrades

ok

to move to R3, would be an upgrade too ? or new acquisition?

Who knows?

:-)

ok

Making $$ from languages is a dead end

It's a micro economy .. the $$ is to be made from consulting

I know, that's what I'm doing.

and you don't get consulting requests unless you have ( usually ) 
a popular language

noop,  I'm doing wonderful things with rebol.. Take a look. http://www.tse.gov.br/internet/cd/tse/index.html

my last was intended for Carl!

I think that Host Kit is going to be for free. But RT might produce 
some commercial Extensions ...

Ok

How does it work? the host kit, I'm kind of lost here...

very nice rondon, so you are doing rebol consulting in brazil?

I seem to have misplaced my linux sdk license key purchased a few 
years ago.  I thought maybe I could use my windows license key instead 
.. but sadly, no go.  Oh well, emailed sales  to see if they can 
resend it to me.

Which they did  :)

What is the best way to debug software made with the SDK?

If you mean debugging an encapped app, there is no single best way. 
It depends on the app. If you have a system in place for catching 
errors, and logging them, that can help a lot.

Gregg, thanks for responding. What system for catching errors are 
you referring to?

I have an encapped program that has worked for years.  But it contains 
a password, and the password had to be changed. Now it won't work 
when encapped. I get:

** Script Error: Cannot use path on none! value
** Where: insert-event-func
** Near: insert system/view/screen-face/feel/event-funcs :funct
:funct
** Press enter to quit...

If I replace all the #include's with do, and run it with rebview, 
it runs without problem.

sounds like you got your includes in the wrong order

... or have ommitted the SDK file containing the funct declaration

Louis, were you using a function named 'funct in your encapped application? 
As of 2.7.7, there is now a FUNCT mezzanine.

I don't think that would cause your problem though.

The error message says can not use a path on none! so there is a 
problem with view ...

Brian, in insert-event-func, the parameter name is 'funct ... so 
nothing to do with the 'funct mezzanine.

I know that the problem has nothing to do with the FUNCT mezzanine 
- it errors out before then. His *next* problem will have to do with 
using 'funct.

Louis, which encapper are you using? Perhaps you are encapping against 
the wrong binary.

eh? how is that possible?

Including the wrong source files ?

There are 5 encap programs, and it's been years since he last encapped 
this app. Maybe he's using enbase, encmd or enpro.

instead of enface

Or encmdview, yes.

that does sound the most likely cause
