Henrik: what Windows platform were you using for that test?

All MSDOS/Red binaries run fine here (Windows 7 32-bit).

MSVCRT.DLL errors are often related to compiling in Debug mode or 
version mismatch in installed redistributables with requried ones.

Henrik, yes, for a number of the examples you need to install the 
corresponding libraries. I'm particularly interested in library names 
for examples that don't work yet

DocKimbel, windows XP 32 bit

Kaj, well, glut-triangle.exe responds with:

---------------------------
GLUT-triangle.exe - Unable To Locate Component
---------------------------

This application has failed to start because LIBGL.SO.1 was not found. 
Re-installing the application may fix this problem. 
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

LibGL is usually supplied by Mesa3D. Although after that, you probably 
need to install GLUT separately

This is actually an example by Andreas

---------------------------
OSM-GPS-Map-browser.exe - Unable To Locate Component
---------------------------

This application has failed to start because LIBGTHREAD-2.0-0.DLL 
was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. 
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

It's possible that you have some libraries already installed, but 
the library names or versions in Red are wrong

For most of the graphical example, you need to install GTK. GThread 
is a component from GLib, which is usually included in a GTK+ distribution

OSM-GPS-Map is an extra library on top of that

for the windows examples, should there be some indication of failure 
for something like do-sql.exe or GLUT-triangle.com?

when I execute these, I get no output

In process explorer, I see the process start, then exit

I would expect errors, as Henrik got

I don't have the required libs at this point so I'm expecting failure

Do you execute them from the prompt?

yes

Odd. In any case, those two need libraries, so you would have to 
install those first

was executing them from a console wrapping cmd.exe - there is a popup 
when executing directly

---------------------------
PeterPaint-SDL.exe - Unable To Locate Component
---------------------------

This application has failed to start because SDL.DLL was not found. 
Re-installing the application may fix this problem. 
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

Yes, please install SDL

AdrianS: since Vista, Windows is hiding some runtime errors from 
console, you can check in "Event Viewer" if you think a crash occured.

Sigh

Henrik: I'm installing an XP SP3 image to try to reproduce your issue.

ok, I'll stop posting errors now :-)

Please do if they're not about libraries you don't have :-)

I don't think I have any other types of errors.

Tested all examples now, only library missing errors.

Yes, that would be the first error. You can only really test it once 
the libraries are installed

the regular windows console doesn't block the output, so false alarm

Kaj how is the progress in testing on all platforms?

You tell me :-)

I ran just the three Red Samples on my Mac, that was enough?

What I saw, I liked.

Please also test the Red/System examples. They're more extensive

Just noticed I have a folder (Red and within that there is a folder 
System)  :D

That's probably because you downloaded manually. If you check out 
with Fossil, that won't happen

I promise Fossil will work better for you than Git :-)

Kaj, the fossil source browser that you linked to has a download 
option for the current version as an archive - for those who don't 
want to bother installing fossil - i.e. they don't need to install 
file by file

I believe you!

Henrik: error reproduced on a Windows XP SP3...it is strange because 
such function is supposed to be part of Windows since Windows 95: 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/239ffwa0(v=vs.80).aspx

Kaj, How do you want the results of the Red/System test back?

Yes, there are always download links in Fossil. But it's really not 
much harder to install it - easier if you need to update or keep 
the files in order

From http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/abx4dbyh(v=vs.80).aspx:


What is the difference between msvcrt.dll and msvcr80.dll?

The msvcrt.dll 
is now a 

known DLL," meaning that it is a system component owned and built 
by Windows. It is intended for future use only by system-level components."


Looks like another Windows oddity, so I guess XP users needs to install 
msvcr80.dll...testing that on my fresh new XP image.

Arnold, please try to give a description of what works and what doesn't. 
But only after installing the relevant libraries

DocKimbel, glad I could help. Consider that my first contribution 
to Red. :-)

Henrik: thanks! :-)

Fossil without problems?
