Ordering question

[Kuron]

I ordered GLBasic early Sunday and I was wondering how long does it usually take to get the registration info?  

This is not a complaint, I am just excited about GLBasic and I am anxious to really start using it.

License get's send *now*. Usually withing the same day. But I had my computer off this weekend, sorry.

[Kuron]

Don't say you are sorry, you have nothing to apologize for, everybody deserves the weekend off  It is rare that I use my "net" computer on the weekends.

I have a question though regarding the demo version.  When testing any of the demos projects and compiling for multiple platforms, it works okay for everything but linux.  For Linux, it generates this error:

Thank you for your time.

Please perform an internet update (Menu: web/internet update). If it still refuses to work, please let me know_
-if the directory
  C.\Program Files\GLbasic\Compiler\platform\Linux\Lib exists and if it contains files.
-What OS are you working on? XP?
-Did you install on a FAT32 or a NTFS partition?

[Kuron]

Okay, I did an internet update and tried it on all three of my Windows machines.  Same error on all of them.

C.\Program Files\GLbasic\Compiler\platform\Linux\Lib exists and if it contains files.

That directory exists and contains files.

-What OS are you working on? XP?

XP Home on all three systems.  Original upgrade version, no service packs or updates installed and using NTFS.

[Kitty Hello]

all 3 systems? Same error!?

[Kuron]

all 3 systems? Same error!?

Yes, same error.  I am sending you an email that has a little more info.

[Kuron]

Any new info on the "Linux" issue I am having?

[Kitty Hello]

Answer these questions:
- exact path name of GLBasic installation
- which program did you compile (try helloworld)
- copy output here (again)
- open a dos-box (on C:\) and type "gcc --version" (without quotes). Do you see something?
It is _so_ strange!

- exact path name of GLBasic installation

C:\Program Files\GLBasic

- which program did you compile (try helloworld)

It does it with any program.  Evidently, the problem is with the compiler, not the source being compiled.

- copy output here (again)

Just an error when at "C:\", as this is an XP system and gcc is not in the autoexec.bat or config.sys (both of which are blank).  If I go to the directory of the Linux compiler, and run "gcc --version" at the command line, it displays "3.3.3"

It is _so_ strange!

Based on the error generated, my guess is the Linux compiler does not like the multi-nested directory structure being used?  Since this does this on all three of my systems, I am inclined to believe the problem is with GLBasic.  Perhaps it is just an issue with the USA version?  (I have seen some VERY weird errors over the years with XP and various regional versions.)

Perhaps Kanati could give it a try for us?  I know he lives in the USA and would be using a USA version of XP.

I would really like to try and get this issue resolved.  And I will do what I can to help.

It's the space in the "Program Files". I'll check again and again.. TTYL.

[Kitty Hello]

Update NOW!

[Kuron]

WooHoo!  That fixed it!    Thank you  

[Kitty Hello]

You've got a Linux installed? If you've got time, see if you can compile on Linux (using WINE) _for_ Linux. So far I've managerd to compile with WINE (>=0.9.9) for Win32, only. But this might have fixed it.

[Kuron]

I do not have Wine installed, and I wouldn't know how to use it.  I am not a Linux GURU, but I do keep Kubuntu installed and am slowly trying to learn.
