OpenEuphoria

1. Nearly there with wxEuphoria and wxIDE

I think I'm on the point of getting wxEuphoria and wxIDE up and running in Xubuntu 11.04.

Having re-read the "read me" file for wxEuphoria, I realised I needed a package called gtk+-2.0-dev. Tried to install that with apt-get and was told the package couldn't be found. After a bit of research I discovered the package is actually called gtk+2.0-dev, so I installed that and tried ./configure again, got a message saying there was no such command. Found a Bash tutorial online which seemed to suggest I should type "source configure" instead of "./configure", so I tried that and it worked (after it had told me I needed wx-config and which packages I could install that contain it).

So I finally got through configure, make and make install. Now all I've got to do is get Bash to stop telling me it can't open the file when I try to run a program. Is that because I have to add the Euphoria directories to PATH? I seem to recall having to do that before. If so, please could someone just remind me how to do that. I went into .profile and found the line: PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH". Where in that string do I insert the extra directories?

Thank you.

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I was running them from the console - not IDE ones yet, just simple .ex ones to check everything was in order. I've got that sorted, I found PATH in /etc/environment and added all the relevant directories to that, so I can now run those files from the console. I also seem to have to use the full path name in any include statements.

I've gone on to a different problem now when trying to run wxIDE. I went into the wxIDE's src directory, opened up a terminal and typed "eui wxide.exw" and the IDE window opened up, but just as I was clicking to start a new project it vanished and I got the following error message:

/usr/share/euphoria/wxide-0.6.0/src/wxide.exw:959 in procedure check_file_modified()  
type_check failure, stat is -1  
    the_file = 1 
    stat = -1 
    reload = <no value> 

Do you know what might be causing that?

This is what I have for check_file_modified():

export procedure check_file_modified( integer the_file ) 
	sequence stat = dir( file_list[the_file] ) 
	if compare( stat[1][D_YEAR..D_SECOND], file_last_modified[the_file] ) = 1 then 
		-- been modified! 
		integer reload = message_box(  
			sprintf("[%s] has changed since it was last viewed.  Would you like to reload it from disk?",  
				{ file_short_list[the_file] }), 
			"File Changed On Disk", 
			wxYES_NO ) 
		 
		if reload = wxYES then 
			reload_ok = 1 
			load_file( file_list[the_file] ) 
		else 
			-- don't bug the user again 
			file_last_modified[the_file] = stat[1][D_YEAR..D_SECOND] 
		end if 
			 
	end if 
end procedure

Thank you for that. However, I've got a different error message coming up now:

/usr/share/euphoria/wxide-0.6.0/src/wxide.exw:981 <0074>:: Errors resolving the following references: wxide.exw (981): reset_file_time

reset_file_time( the_file, stat[1][D_YEAR..D_SECOND] ) ^ Sorry to have to keep bothering you.
