REBOL/SDK questions

[1/5] from: massung::gmail::com at: 3-Apr-2006 11:54

I've sent feedback to RT on these 2 questions, but haven't head back from them yet (been a few days). I'm not sure if most of the people on this list are licensed, but in the hopes that you are, I got 2 quick questions: 1. I can't get the () syntax to work for indexing into arrays in the SDK version. For example:

>> foo: [ 1 2 3 ] >> idx: 2 >> foo/:idx ; this works >> foo/(idx) ; this doesn't

2. Is it possible to get the view/desktop running with the license? Thanks for any responses! Jeff M. -- massung-gmail.com

Hi Jeff, JM> 1. I can't get the () syntax to work for indexing into arrays in the SDK JM> version. For example:

>>> foo: [ 1 2 3 ] >>> idx: 2 >>> foo/:idx ; this works >>> foo/(idx) ; this doesn't

Seems to work here with the 2.6.2 SDK binaries. Is this as a script, or encapped? JM> 2. Is it possible to get the view/desktop running with the license? What exactly isn't working? -- Gregg

Gregg, When you launch rebbase.exe, what version #s do you get up top? This could be the problem (I got linked to an old version from the license email?). Here's mine: REBOL/Base 2.5.6.3.1 Copyright 1997-2003 REBOL Technologies REBOL is a Trademark of REBOL Technologies All rights reserved. If the desktop is part of the latest view, then that might be my other problem. Jeff M. -- massung-gmail.com

JM> Here's mine: 2.6.2 is still "beta" so you usually get the "older" one via email; you can download the latest version from: http://www.rebol.net/builds/sdk/ You just need to put your license.key file in the tools dir. JM> If the desktop is part of the latest view, then that might be my other JM> problem. Actually, you have it there, however it depends on the rebol you are running. For example, REBOL/Base doesn't even have View capabilities. It is just the core interpreter without the mezzanine code (that you need to run from the source dir). You should also have a "rebview.exe" which is a complete View. You can also put your license.key file in the dir where you have View installed and it will unlock that too.
