GBAL, Discussion

ouch. Is that my lib (tcl/tk)? No gbas attached?

No gbas, tcl core is in gbal.

I've made a test
main program:

Code: (glbasic) [Select]

callprint("hello")
SHOWSCREEN
MOUSEWAIT
END
lib.gbas

Code: (glbasic) [Select]

FUNCTION callprint:str$
PRINT str$,100,100
ENDFUNCTION

It's compiling and working (printing hello)

Now I make gbal from the lib.gbas via Tools->Compress as library
I'm removing lib.gbas and adding lib.gbal to the project.
But I get this error message when compile:
"libtest.gbas"(1) error : call to undefined function : callprint

I"ve attached my test project

Does the GBAL have extended types ?

[Kitty Hello]

bug in the editor. Darn. so far just rename the gbal file to gbas file extension, please.

[Albert]

It's working if I rename. Thank you!
The tools->Compress as library command what compress? The actual open gbas file, or the whole project without the main?

[Kitty Hello]

it compresses the currently viewed gbas file.

Is this bug fixed in the current version? Has the GBAL format changed?

I have GLBasic 10.118 and gives me 'undefined function' testing the Md2 load library from this post:

[Kitty Hello]

not fixed, yet

[hardyx]

Renaming the .gbal to .gbas not works for me. The editor reads the codified file AS IS.
BTW: ¿Is possible to use a better encoding like zlib or something else?

I had this problem too!!!
I did not knew how to make any of my librarys woks
I have just rename to *.gbal file to *.gbas file extension and now GLBasic are able to use functions from it! 
It is not a problem now! 
Thanks for explain how to fix this
