1. shroud / Linux
Rob,
Just thought I'd report this...
If a myprog.exu with a Shebang line
pointing to the euphoria interpreter
is shrouded, the resulting myprog.il
file will fail upon execution giving
an error message such as:
myprog.il:2
O has not been declared
O^K³Q |¢X ¨¹$‹ ³‹zÃ^_5·
Not sure how much more "hand holding"
code you are willing to write to make
the shrouder more robust in having
to deal with such a rare case - how much
trouble would it be for the shrouder
to cope with the Shebang line pointing
to the interpreter rather than backendu?
Otherwise, I think a warning or notice
in the documentation about this effect
would be appropriate.

Yes, I can see that people might make that mistake.
I'll see what I can do.

Just out of interest, does the shrouder actually /use/ a shebang
pointing to the backend? (I've not read the docs either)

I have never used this, but if I read you right, would not the smart
solution be:
shebang on line 1 points to the interpreter, and
shebang on line 2 points to backendu?
Just a thought.

Yep, Bob implemented the shebang:
#!/home/usr/backendu
and automated the systme call to "chmod +x prog.il"
upon my request. Its really a neat feature.
A very tiny executable file is created instantly.

I think this whole shebang thing is a Highlander
culture - "There can be only one" :)
Pete, how about coming on over to Linux and porting
your editor to EuGTK or WxEuphoria?
