I just created a standalone using a stack that had the externals set

"RevSpeech" (answer the externalPackages of this stack). This was
using 2.6.1 on OS X.4. I'm not sure how the speech commands are
working without the external being loaded in a standalone though.
FWIW, I always check the externalPackages to see if an external has
loaded successfully. the externalPackages of a stack will always
report the name of the externals that have successfully loaded.
What do you use for the full path to the external? I made a test app
that uses this:
/Users/sarah/Desktop/SpeechTest/SpeechTest.app/Contents/MacOS/
externals/revspeech.bundle
but this is a bundle folder which contains 2 revspeech files in
differently nested folders. Should I be setting the external to one of
them?
For bundles you always set the path to the .bundle folder so what you
have above should work. Did you use the standalone builder? I just
created a new stack and set the externals of the stack to the
revspeech.bundle that is in the Revolution application folder.
Perhaps the standalone builder is doing something funny? I don't
ever use it to include externals, I always assign them manually.
The other thing that I have noticed is that the substacks of my app
include one called: revExternalLibrary. I wonder if the speech stuff
being copied into this automatically?
I'm not sure how rev handles external with the standalone builder but
if they are including this file then I would check the externals of
this stack. In order to make the external handlers available to all
stacks in your application the Rev folks may bet setting the
externals of this revExternalLibrary stack and then using it as a
library.
In my test app, I have shown the following:
- speech works perfectly without any setting of externals.
- the externals, the externalPackages, the externalCommand & the
externalFunctions all return empty.
- if I set the externals to revSpeech.bundle, it makes no functional
difference. The revSpeech.bundle then shows up when I query the
externals, but the others all return empty.
The externals will always return the value that you assign to it. It
won't tell you whether the external was properly loaded or not.
