Having problems Packing and Installing on Palm Pre

[ampos]

I move the entire project to c:\ and it is stuck at

C:\iQuiosk>CALL "D:\Programas\GLBasic\compiler\platform\webos\tool\bin\glb_pack_and_install.bat" "C:\iQuiosk\glbwebos"
Making .ipk Package from ""C:\iQuiosk\glbwebos""
creating package com.dinigames.iquiosk_1.0.0_all.ipk in C:\iQuiosk
Installing package: "C:\iQuiosk\com.dinigames.iquiosk_1.0.0_all.ipk"

I have GLB 9.040 installed at d:\programas\..., and 9.053beta at c:\program files (x86)\... but the test are done withn 9.040

[ampos]

Can ipk packages sent to the palm in some another way? copying by hand, downloading from a web,...?

You're stuck where I was, I switched to a different USB port, then everything worked.
Also try restarting the computer and phone.

I had to use this Macro for beta:

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

CALL "%GLB_MAIN_PATH%\compiler\platform\webos\tool\bin\glb_pack_and_install.bat" "%GLB_PROJ_PATH%\%GLB_PROJ_NAME%.app"

[ampos]

It is working now (after reseting the PC and Palm), but...

It does not read graphics from my /media dir...

I am not using setcurrentdir.

I have

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

?IFDEF IPHONE
ALLOWESCAPE FALSE
mpat$="Media/"
?ELSE
mpat$=GETCURRENTDIR$()+"media/"
?ENDIF
dpat$=PLATFORMINFO$("DOCUMENTS")

mpat$ as media_path and dpat$ as doc_path.

Everything is loaded as mpat$+"file" or dpat$+"file"

What is the PLATFORMNAME$ of Palm? WebOS?

[ampos]

Fixed.

I can say that is is faster than a iPhone 3G. My app is downscaling and rotating a sprite 700x1000, on 3G it lags, on Palm, as smooth as iPhone 4.

Woot!

It does not read graphics from my /media dir...

I'm now having the same problems (sometimes the whole file fails, other times it won't transfer media) when transferring files to the Palm since updating to v9.040.

It seems that something has gone very wrong since the last GLB update; to get the full app onto the Palm and working properly now is very hit and miss.

[ampos]

Use mpat$="media", same as iOS.

Also I have noted that if I use setcurrentdir media$ and later setcurrentmedia docs$, a new setcurrentdir media$ does not work. So I have to forget about setcurrentdir and use always load media$+file$ and docs$+file$ (on iOS and palm)

[Ian Price]

I use exactly the same set up for iOS and WebOS (and always have done) - there's more to this than just code changes, after all it's worked for more than just one app in the past.

My code hasn't changed; something else has that's affecting media AND packaging. And unfortunately it's erratic - sometime it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I'll have to try 9.040 on another machine (using the first beta at the moment) - but once the pathing was sorted in that, I've had no problems with that.

on the BETA - the .app directory is getting packes. The "webos" directory is obsolete.
