Hi Jean-Louis,
just tried to compile for Windows, using your makefile.win against
PDCurses "pdc34dlls.zip". Had to change the following line from
RX_PATH = "C:\Program Files\ooRexx"
to
RX_PATH = %REXX_HOME%
Compilation went o.k. then (on my machine ooRexx is installed someplace
else, REXX_HOME pointing to it correctly), however, when trying to run
any of the scripts I get the following error:
F:\work\svn\oorexx\incubator\orxcurses>test10-1.rex
312 *-* ::METHOD setbase public class EXTERNAL "LIBRARY orxncurses
OrxCurSetBase"
78 *-* ::requires 'ncurses.cls'
Error 98 running F:\work\svn\oorexx\incubator\orxcurses\ncurses.cls line
312: Execution error
Error 98.903: Unable to load library "orxncurses"
There could be many reasons, why the library could not get loaded, of
course.
The following DLLs are in the same directory (and PATH points to it):
03.02.2010 11:33 98.304 orxncurses.dll
09.09.2008 05:14 107.316 pdcurses.dll
So it seems that ooRexx should be able to locate orxncurses.dll and that
should be able to locate pdcurses.dll.
Not sure what the error could be, would you have any ideas, pointers?
Regards,
---rony
