Re: [Oorexx-devel] Question ad experimental USB-Version of ooRexx r12113 (MacOS, 32- and 64-bit Linux and Windows)
Refreshed the zip-archive, which now is called "oorexx_stick_20201002.zip".
After creating the Windows scripts, "%userprofile%\goto_ooRexx{32|64}.cmd" now
also changes to the
drive where the desired ooRexx resides.

Re: [Oorexx-devel] Question ad experimental USB-Version of ooRexx r12113 (MacOS, 32- and 64-bit Linux and Windows)
At today's Symposium presentation, I announced - and demonstrated - a new version of the documentation build tools that are written in ooRexx and that does not depend on any* system commands like XCOPY or SET. *It still uses Zip on *nix/mac. Once the documentation is finished, I will commit it to the repository for testing in the non-Windows environments. Hopefully, it will work well there as well :-). Gil On 9/30/2020 1:36 PM, P.O.

Dear Rony et al, As I assume all are aware(?) ooRexx on the Mac platform can be used on a USB stick without any modification whatsoever of the official build. A simple drag to a formatted USB is sufficient to make it run. This has been the case for more than a year, from the brilliant intervention from Enrico. All that is needed to make the installation on MacOS to work is to add its /bin dir to the path. This is irrespective of where it runs. Also on a shared drive this should work. Or in ~/Application or in /Applications or wherever. But maybe you mean something more? Von meinem iPhone gesendet > Am 30.09.2020 um 17:05 schrieb Rony G.

Re: [Oorexx-devel] Question ad experimental USB-Version of ooRexx r12113 (MacOS, 32- and 64-bit Linux and Windows)
No problem with me. What I would *most* like is that we can build the package in Jenkins and it will be automatically obviated by new builds. René. > On 30 Sep 2020, at 15:43, Rony G.
