Re: How- Where?
Unfortunately Euphoria still doesn't install any Win32 support.
It is targeted around DOS, at least the installation, setup-up and demo
files.
To get it going under windows you'll need to do the following.
* Click on an .Ex file in the demo directory. Then a dialog shows up, tell
it to use the file 'Ex.exe' from the Euphoria\Bin directory. Make sure you
check 'Always use this program' and name this file-mask 'Euphoria Program'
* Click on an .Exw file and to the very same. Except use the file 'Exw.exe'
from the Euphoria\Bin directory.
* Get Edith! from http://members.home.net/igb
--> Its the smallest, fastest and cutest of the Euphoria Code Editors.
* If you want to develop Win32 programs including complex interfaces, get
Win32lib. You find a link on the Euphoria website. This library offers the
full win32 support and comes with a neat design-tool to setup up your
windows, controls and their properties. Very simerlair to Visual Basic.
Note however, that Windows development is more complex than writing DOS
programs. DOS is the underlying operating system of Win9x and you can find
it at the start menu - programs - 'MS-Dos Prompt" .. its a command line
interface.
When you run an Euphoria file (such as .ex .exw .e .ew .eu .eux) and the
file generates an error, you will sometimes not see the error on Windows.
This is because the program is terminated, and windows sometimes
(optionally, btw) closes your window for you. You will need to look in the
same directory of the file, for a file called Ex.Err ... try to open it,
when the dialog shows up, tell it to use NOTEPAD to open this file. Also
make sure you check 'Always use this program for this file type'
Good luck!
