Humm odd because QPC2 already has a qlib_run though it is a different file (smaller). The one from that zip file doesn't seem to have Q_ERR_ON anywhere in it and it's not turning up as an extra.....

Hi Phil,

I have gone through the same steps as you on QPC II with exactly the same end result.

Cheers,

Do you happen to know where to find that file?

Alas not, seems to have come with QLiberator so if you have a copy of that. It may have been supplied with applications compiled with QLiberator I dunno.

What is the current status of QLib ? It doesn't seem to be available for download so may still be commercial / for sale / distribution denied / unknown.

Cheers.

Phill.

As far as I am aware, Qliberator currently remains a commercial product - it was last sold by QBranch, so if someone could ask Roy Wood, no doubt he has some contact details for Liberation Software.

From memory qlib_ext could not be distributed on its own - it could however, be distributed linked into the compiled program - if you don't have a copy of QLiberator, send me the sources for the problematic program and I will compile it with qlib_ext built in.

Ahh I suspected as much.

It's basically the make.bas from the extras_source folder of the SMSQE distribution, there is a compiled version supplied but it falls over when run on QPC2.

Try the attached, I hope it has all the MC objects included.

make_obj.zip

Humm that still seems to do the same thing, if I ex make_obj the command line window pops up ok with the prompt for a command but when I type anything even 'q' to quit I get a red error window with

Job 18 make Line 450 Q_ERR_ON
invalid name
Data : 4096 0 0 Stack 2048 140

Which is the same as I was getting on the supplied one, interestingly enough though make_obj is about 13K bigger than make.

Cheers.

Phil,

can you try again with the same file above (updated). I think I got the $$asmb directive wrong, long time since I last did this.....

Nope that seems to give the same result which is odd looking at the compiled program in a hex editor I can see the Q_ERR_ON string so it looks like it's compiled in.

Cheers.

That's interesting.
I have used the following line to include the QLIB extension code (as per the manual on Dilwyn's site, have mislaid my own, like a lot of other things QL....) Does anyone know what might be wrong with that line?

Or could it be your browser picked the binary from some cache? No idea.
