EUVISTA is a developer-only setting and generally should not be used. What it does is workaround the OpenWatcom library's issue of requesting full screen mode even when all that is wanted is a 80x25 console window. (It is not needed if builting eu with Watcom 10's graphic library, since the issue is not present there.) This only works for text mode applications.
MANAGED_MEM adds a memory management layer that allows the binary to run on Windows 9x. It works around w9x limitations and bugs.
DEBUG is a developer-only setting and should be self-evident.
EUCONS works around flaws that are present in some versions of Windows 98's console code. If instead of text you only see blanks, try setting EUCONS=1
ok i've started mucking around with the 4.0 builds of euphoria and although it builds and runs correctly i'm just doing a straight
update via tortoisesvn wmake -f makefile.wat clean wmake -f makefile.wat distclean configure wmake -f makefile.wat winall copy *.exe ..\bin
i just discovered the env var EUVISTA (although i don't know what it's for :) but i've now set it anyway :) )
and i see mention of managed_mem and debug etc.
what actually do all these environment vars mean and do? and what should i be setting them to on vista home premium sp1?
