World: r3wp

PhilB, I asked the question a year and a half ago and the answer 
was positive. I bought SDK a month and a half ago and I hope they 
will keep their word...

Carl said in the weekend that parts of the SDK were being uploaded 
... but I can't see them on rebol.net.
Anyone know to where they were uploaded?

An updated REBOL/Base for some platforms was uploaded to where they 
put the View alphas/betas.

but no SDK ...

/Pro and /Command too. Base and Pro are part of the SDK.

I think /Base is for general distribution.

I wish. Betas of it have been freely distributed, but there is not 
yet any place that you can download a release version of Pro, Base 
or Face seperate from the SDK. It was suggested to Carl that Base 
be ported to more platforms (particularly WinCE) and he seemed to 
think it was a good idea.

I'm pretty sure it was announced for general distribution ... although 
that may differ from implementation

I'm sure we'll see when the SDK is released, and I hope that Base 
is released seperately, and for every platform that has Core since 
it is basically a subset of that. It would help immensely on WinCE, 
and there must be other platforms that have memory requirements almost 
as low, such as embedded Linux.

I'd love to see REBOL on a single-floppy Linux.

Desperate for SDK builds

rephrase that: "Won't buy SDK until it works with 1.3" :-)

Well hopefull since were still in the "ones" - those that own SDK 
licenses will be able to run some new builds.

I still don't own one and I'm not sure if upgrading will be free?

I use it for my builds of apps for admin routines at work

I doubt going to SDK will be free

It does give  you much more capability such as the /library component

I know it costs money, but if I buy it now, will upgrades so that 
it works with 1.3 be free? I will be needing it for /Encap

Ask Cindy.

The SDK license is a pretty kewl one last time I looked at it.  You 
get the version that is currently available and free upgrades for 
12 months...

Agreed, although the free upgrades aren't quite as useful when they 
don't upgrade for more than 12 months. Hopefully the renewal fees 
aren't too bad.

Has there ever been a single official update?

(Bad REBOL joke) You know, many companies only charge for upgrades 
that change the major version number.

So, no charge until we get to 2.x.x ?

Hence the joke, and why it is bad :)

But these change major version-numbers more often? around once a 
year i guess? ;)
although i would be quite happy to get 1.3 with my old sdk.

Anyone know the timeline for a rollout of the SDK builds.  Also, 
need to know if its going to cost anything.  I am approaching a point 
in my programming where I could add some features from the /library 
components but probably wont if it is going to take time or be expensive. 
 My project is not for money - freebie so any information is appreciated.

Only RT knows.

Anyone seen this error before which has been reported to me


* Script Error: External process failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 
applic
ation.
 
** Near: launch "webserver"
view center-face loginlo
** Press enter to quit...

where "webserver" is just the argument for the 'launch command.

I can't tell you when the update SDKs will be released, only that 
the current SDK key will work with the new ones, no additional charge.

This is great news, Cindy. Thanks for assuring that.

Thanks!

thanks

I recall that someone was working on accessing the windows video 
api using rebol library access. Anybody knows ? thxs

Cyphre

thanks

SDK SDK SDK SDK (everybody) SDK SDK SDK SDK.... (to the tune of Queen's 
"We Will Rock You")

Still waiting for the new 1.3 version too.

I wish..I wish..I wish..(clack clack clack)....like Alice in Wonderland...

I have a problem, if I in a DOS-prompt under windows try to run a 
REBOL program built with REBOL/SDK into a .exe file, and the program 
is not in current directory, but has to be found along the PATH. 
I get the error
Program error: invalid encapsulated data


I've tried under Windows2000 and WinXP. Can others confirm this error? 
(Just make a simple REBOL-script with e.g. a print and try it.)

The problem (bug) can also be verified with altme.exe. Just setup 
path in the DOS-prompt to where, altme is located, and type: altme

I think REBOL needs a full path to itself.

It works, if you place yourself in the same directory as the .exe 
file and don't give full path. It also works, if you place yourself 
anywhere and give full or relative path. As I see it, the error is 
only, if you're not in the same directory as the .exe file, and the 
system finds it along the PATH environment variable. Maybe I should 
report it in RAMBO!?

you can report it, but i'm not completely sure it can be fixed.

From the builds page: "A Beta test version of the SDK with the 1.3.1 
fixes and changes is now available for current SDK developers. Contact 
REBOL via feedback or email Cindy if you would like to try it."

and it says its for win32

Geez, why  not just post it !!

(because of the source it contains?)
