Here is the problems encountered trying to install image 3 on J6:
Fresh J6 32 install, up to date base and image3; loading image3.ijs fails with
a control error
3 : 0''
if. IF64 +. IFUNIX +: IFWIN do.
if. IFJ6 do.
wd 'mb "" "Unsupported Platform" '
else.
sminfo '';'Unsupported Platform'
end.
end.
''
)
|control error: scriptd
| 3 :0''
|[-45] C:\Users\user\j602\addons\media\image3\image3.ijs
Commenting out the control in question
NB. display error if not 32-bit linux/PC
NB. 3 : 0''
NB. if. IF64 +. IFUNIX +: IFWIN do.
NB. if. IFJ6 do.
NB. wd 'mb "" "Unsupported Platform" '
NB. else.
NB. sminfo '';'Unsupported Platform'
NB. end.
NB. end.
NB. ''
NB. )
NB. System directory separator
dir_sep=: IFJ6{::'/';system{'/\' NB. directory separator
|value error: IFJ6
| dir_sep=: IFJ6{::'/';system{'/\'
|[-48] C:\Users\user\j602\addons\media\image3\image3.ijs
leads to value error
replacing the offending line with
dir_sep=: system{'/\'
makes the addons work (but same issues in movie script)
