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.

Hi Jeff,

>>> 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?

What exactly isn't working?

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

If the desktop is part of the latest view, then that might be my other
problem.

I get 2.6.2. I think the paren evaluation was added in the 2.6.0
kernel.

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.

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.
Regards,
Gabriele.
