MC IDE, REV and building standalones

2010-09-02 Thread Klaus on-rev
Hi all, the current version of the MC IDE can be used with engines >= 4, but is NOT able to build standalones with the new process REV introduced with 4.0. This means you can only build standalones with engines <=3.5. I hope I can publish a new IDE in a couple of weeks or maybe months, consideri

Second, if you are including MC resources in your stack, Rev may not like it. Make a copy of one that won't build and, as a test, open it in MC and use the resource mover to remove all MC resources. Save the stack. If the file extension is "mc" on disk then change it to "rev" (shouldn't be nece

Possibly the quickest way to get some reasonable sort of reply to your question is to post to the RunRev Use-List rather than the Metacard one. Richmond, I only attempted a build in Rev after the MC attempt gave an error. I do everything in MC so I came here first hoping for an MC fix. The

I've tried to do this before, but can't seem to create an .ico file that will be accepted. (I'm a Mac user, mainly, maybe that add to the mystery for me.) How do you do this? What software and/or process do you use? Do you have to do anything special for XP? On Thursday, March 21, 2002, at 12:48 P
