For comparison purposes, here is my output from the terminal when I launch it. I am running Ubuntu 9.04 64b. charlie@keeper:~$ runrev XVideo extensions available? : Yes Will use X-Freetype font rendering Using Pango complex text layout Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": /usr/l...

I do recall having some issues with it crashing in OpenSUSE 10, and I do not remember what I did to fix the issue. I have never been impressed with the look of the GUIs runrev makes in Linux, and the script editor has always been flaky (Syntax highlighting being inconsistent, script editor disappear...

Have you tried executing Revolution from a terminal window? This may output messages that will give you an idea of what is going on.

You can use $ for that. Thank you, I was not aware of that. Admittedly, I was hoping for something similar to other high level languages like the following Java example. System.getProperty("user.name"); System.getProperty("user.dir"); However after testing this a bit, I have some concerns. What con...

In my experience the only version of Linux that I've been able to get Revolution to run on acceptably is Ubuntu. I would like to add that I have successfully used runrev (the IDE and resulting apps) on the Linux distros: Fedora 8, 10, 11 RHEL 3 & 4 OpenSUSE 10+ & 11+ Ubuntu 8.04 & 9.04 I stopped us...

I have been searching the forums and the runrev dictionary, but I am unable to find an answer. The last thing I want to do is ask something that is easy to find the answer to. I come from a Java, C/C++, Python, and PHP background. 1. Is there a way to get the username, and user default directory (no...

Thank you. I still have those older versions, so I'll use them for the builds.

I have the enterprise version, but the Solaris option for standalone building is grayed out. Is there something else I need to buy?

I have had the same problem. I believe the executable uses relative URLs to its required support files. I have had to create a shell script that changes directories, and then launches the executable. I unzip the release to a directory named "opt" under my home directory (e.g. /home/gragon/opt). I th...

Wone,

When you say API, are you referring to an Application Programming Interface (API)? Also TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Therefore the answer to you question is no, API and TCP are not the same thing.

Mark and Wone,

In Linux we have libquicktime to handle reading and writing Quicktime files, and Linux does have commonly used speech engines. They only need to look into Festival, Orca, and others.

Almost a year since this thread was started.

/bump : Still no answer

How does this affect those who receive our applications? Will my users be required to take the same steps before run-time, or is this just a compile-time problem?

Is there a way we can build a the rev dbmysql.so ourselves so we can create a version that supports our user's configuration?
