Re: Building MetaCard 6.0 OSS
Same here. I suspect it has something to do with the (former) licensing code, but the constant throwing of the error makes it impossible to open the script to edit it. As to Richard's question: I don't build standalones, I run all my stacks in the IDE (i.e., the original Hypercard model), as do many of my colleagues. Metacard makes that easy as the IDE stays out of the way. Not so in the LC IDE. Furthermore, I find the LC IDE to too busy (indeed, annoying) when I am coding/running.

I guess I shall have to await the commercial release of LC (when my 3yr licence kicks in from kickStarter) to find out if we can continue with our old friend in this brand new world. Meanwhile, I so most sincerely hope we shall be able to maintain compatibility. Hugh Senior FLCo ___ metacard mailing list metacard@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

I agree it's likely due to the missing security module. If there's a locked stack in the message path, and the licensing stack would be part of that, there isn't anything we can do about it. The engine does not contain any code to deal with passworded stacks. The LiveCode IDE ignores those; the MC IDE doesn't know anything about it and won't run without a license. You'll need to use the commercial version of LiveCode with the MC IDE. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ metacard mailing list metacard@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
