1. Building EU4 question ?

What am I doing wrong ?
I am trying to build SVN2065.
No matter how I build it; I end up with binaries that
displays NO build information or NO options list on the screen.
This happens on XP and WIN98.
The binaries work because I can run winwire demo.

What do you mean exactly? I am a little confused. You wind up with binaries, right? Now, when you type in eui or euc it just returns to the command prompt? If that is your problem, can you type eui -version and see if that works?
For me

For me
I type eui or euc or euiw -version on XP using run command.
and the console window opens and closes and I see nothing.

Hm. So even when typing eui a new window appears then disappears? This is obviously wrong behavior as eui should be a console program and should not cause a new console window to appear.
Hm, are you typing eui into an existing command prompt or double clicking it from the Windows explorer?

I was using the RUN COMMAND on the START MENU.
It does NOT display any thing from a double click.
Can't you have another user try it on XP or WIN98.

Ok, that's the same behavior I get here. It's the same with any command line program. For instance, use the Run Command in the start menu and type in a windows console program like xcopy.exe
eui, euiw, euc are meant to be run from the console or via an established shortcut giving it the command line arguments to execute a Euphoria program.

Never mind If I open a CMD window and type in that
window it displays the info.
That is not the way it use to work but that doesn't matter
as long as I can be sure it works.

Yes, you are right. I am not sure at what revision it was changed but it was quite a few ago. It use to prompt for a filename. That type of behavior was abnormal for console programs so it was changed to be just like every other console program.
