Hi to all! My question is : Which version of Euphoria for windows is well tested and work properly on windows? And with which include version? There are lot of different versions... Huh
in first place i still cannot run or interpret any version in normal way. Which editor is recomended? I have found one (i think older include file(header) win32lib.ew who have interesting aproach to windowProcedure. I think that is written by author Robert Craig. So i would like to know which windows version work with this header? I also have found include file by Andrea Cini - which looks quite bare-bone and looks simple to use. Still i don't get it how work.
I must say that i use win32 gui api headers in many other languages and work fine but here is a such a confusion with versions and many authors ???
thanks advance PS.I have in plan to modify my own scintilla-based code editor to work with openEuphoria. Is anyone can tell me how look command line to run specific example? thanks... benston

Hello,
I would suggest the latest Euphoria v405 with Win32lib v0.70.20.
Euphoria is availible via the "download" tab on this site, Win32lib is on sourceforge.net
They are compatible with Win 2000, Win XP through Win 7.
I am unsure about Win 8. AFAIK, Win 98 sp2 will also work, with some extra windows DLL's
If you search here for "Kat" or "useless" postings, you should find mentions of the win98 compatibility.
HTH!

The current stable version is version 4.0.5 available at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rapideuphoria/files/Euphoria/
It works with Windows XP and Windows 7
Win32lib suggested above is an excellent and well-tried product for GUI applications, but it has very limited support here and there is no further releases expected. It is only available for windows applications.
wxEuphoria is well-supported and works for GUI applications under Windows XP, windows 7 and Linux.

Win32lib ... it has very limited support here and there is no further releases expected.
This is not quite as accurate as it could be.
- It is supported to the same extent other third-party libraries here are.
- Further releases are expected to be made.

fizzpopsoft said to look for win32lib at sourceforge. So I looked, and could not find it.
Perhaps a URL to help the questioner might be useful, if you think it will be fully supported.

Hi EUWX,
If you go to the Sourceforge page for Euphoria there is a section of recommended projects about 1/3 of the way down on the right side of the page which has a link for win32 library.

So,is there anyone here who can tell me with which version of Euphoria work this version of win32lib ? And where i can find examples who work with this lib? thanks...

Well it is not really easy to find and understand which version of library to use with which version of Euphoria. Now , i am not sure is even this proper library who I want to use. Is this presented lib by me written in OOP way ? I would like to use win GUI library who is written in non OOP way. Because is easier to folow what is what. What might you recomnend me if i want to use non OOP library for windows programming? thanks advance... benston...

Hallo
what you have is not win32lib is the win32engine, another wrapper.
Follow this link, and download win32lib.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32libex
I think you have allready downloaded OpenEuphoria 4.0.5
Copy the content of the win32lib zip file into a separate folder inside your Euphoria folder.
Say your folder for Euphoria is c:\eutest
Create c:\eutest\win32lib and copy the content of the win32lib into this directory
Edit c:\eutest\bin\eu.cfg and add a include line for win32lib. It should look like this:
[all] -i C:\eutest\include -i c:\eutest\win32lib\include
The demo Programs for win32lib now are in c:\eutest\win32lib\demo
To start a demo program follow this example:
c:\eutest\bin\euiw.exe c:\eutest\win32lib\demo\rundemos.exw
euiw.exe is the Interpreter, rundemos.exw is the demoprogram to run.
Hope this helps Andreas

Hallo
win32lib is not OOP, OpenEuphoria is not OOP.
I think no Win32 Api wrapper is OOP. So you can choose the one you like the most. Win32lib is the best documented and most complete wrapper (for native Win32)

Hallo
You, can check the Wiki for Editors.
I use Edita, from Pete Lomax, for most of my Euphoria editing. You will find it here:
http://www.edita.is-great.org/
The actual version of SynWrite has also Basic Euphoria support. Adding keywords shouldn't be that hard. I will give it a try.

BTW: This is 'not' my way ;) I didn't use Win32lib regulary.

I'm sorry that Sourceforge's search ability is unable to find the project using "win32lib" as the search argument. In hindsight, it was a mistake to name the project "win32libex" but it's too hard to change that now. I'll look into ways to have Sourceforge find it more easily.

When I registered it, they rejected Win32Lib (correctly) as too generic. I probably should have put eu or euphoria in there somewhere, but I think that at the time, I was adding stuff into Dave Cuny's original work, and it wasn't the official project / repository until later.
