1. EuKa - Linux compatibility
Hi Juergen,
I've been playing with EuKa and haven't quite yet got it to work on
my Linux system. I'll keep trying though. This is just a quick note.
The Euphoria Linux interpreter is simply "exu" and exw.exe is not
on the linux distribution. I suppose you could define an "eurun" command
something like..
eurun = exw.exe
if platform() = Linux then
eurun = "exu"
end if
I'm sure you'll get some useful feedback from some
of the Linux guru's on the list.
Thanks for sharing EuKa with us! :)

Ken Rhodes

EuKa contains something similar, but for Linux it unfortunately uses
"exu.exe" instead of only "exu". 
This .exe at the end is just DOS/Windows thinking, sorry.

I'm glad when it is useful for you. Please feel free to tell me any
suggestions or further requirements.
The bug that you reported should be fixed now. Also, I changed some demo
programs. The programs 'hellolnx' and 'release_hello' (hopefully) will
run on Linux.
I don't have access to Linux, so I can't test it. Maybe you can test
this version 1.11 alpha, before I send it to the User Contributions Page?
That would be very nice, it is available here:

Thanks, and best regards,

No one bothered to test that version. However, the bug concerning
Linux should be fixed now. Also, the generated program now can use
command-line options.
I just sent the current version 1.20 to RDS' User Contributions page.
A future version of EuKa will be able to handle include files. That will
be very useful for writing _libraries_ depending on the platform.
That version also will compare the names of the included files. If two
'pure file names' are the same, it will compare their full canonical
path names. If these are different, it will show a warning!
I know that this is not the solution of this problem, but since RDS is
ignoring this problem, it will be better than nothing.

Juergen
