RE: [Gcl-devel] Test of new versions of Gcl for Windows

[Mike Thomas]

Hi Michel.

Good report thanks.  I'll look into these problems and put up a new RC when
I have sorted them out.

Cheers

Mike Thomas.


| - With 20030218 version, the file gcli.bat, used to run Gcl from the icon
| on the desktop, is created incorrectly : the second line begins
| with "echo
| start" instead of "start".

|
| I think it is due to the fact that the file gclfinal.bat, that seems to
| create gcli.bat, is written by the installer with lines ending with LF
| only, instead of CR+LF. So, for the command.com, gclfinal.bat seems to
| write only one long line containing the second "echo" with the first
| "echo", instead of writing two lines with the two "echo".
|
| After editing gcli.bat with Wordpad and deleting the spurious "echo", Gcl
| can be run from the icon.
|
|
| - With 20030220 version, the same occurs, but the same solution does not
| allow to run Gcl, I obtain instead of Gcl prompt :
|
| Error: Cannot get the truename of #p"C://Programs/GCL-2.5.0/lib/gcl-
| 2.5.0/unixport/".
| Fast links are on: do (si::use-fast-links nil) for debugging
| Error signalled by SYSTEM::GCL-TOP-LEVEL.
| Broken at SYSTEM::SET-UP-TOP-LEVEL.  Type :H for Help.
| >>
|
| I noticed also there is only the info version of the documentation, which
| is quite OK for Unix users but unusual for Windows users. I would suggest
| to add also the html version of documentation, or adding a viewer of info
| files for Windows ? Or maybe adding a few words recalling how to view the
| info doc with Emacs (and a pointer to the Emacs for NT site) ?
|
| Best wishes,
