Hello, Rony.
Thanks for sharing your "portable" ooRexx and BFS4ooRexx .zip files. I've
downloaded them and installed both here on my openSuSE Tumbleweed Linux laptop.
They both installed without any serious problems ( for BFS4ooRexx I did have to
create a specific group that did not exist here). I would vote to make this
part of the official distributions.
Now I am trying to use ooRexx and BFS4ooRexx to build Linux Rexx apps with
GUIs. I've run into a problem that I can't figure out how to fix and I'm hoping
someone with more Java experience than I have (== 0) can help me out. Running
/home/dave/Desktop/bsf4oorexx/samples/1-030_JavaVersion.rxj, I get:
Error 40 running /home/dave/Desktop/bsf4oorexx/samples/1-030_JavaVersion.rxj
line 36: Incorrect call to routine.
Error 40.900: BSF4ooRexx/routine/BsfLoadJava(), error 5.994: initialization
error, cannot find class 'org/rexxla/bsf/engines/rexx/Java4Rexx'.
Is there something wrong/missing with my environment setup?
Many thanks, too.
Stay safe.
DJ
