Hi,
We seem to have a rash of bugs in the current Windows Unicon binaries. I
have a fix pending for the IDE mishandling of tab characters. Some of the
"runs but doesn't generate a .exe" type of errors might be related to an
error in which we are not handling spaces in pathnames such as \Program
Files properly. This (Jeffery claims without proof) was working in some
earlier distribution but has crept back into the broken category.
I can confirm a few points: the IDE uses wicont.exe instead of icont.exe,
the main difference ostensibly being that wicont.exe is not supposed to
create an ugly black console window every time you fire it off from inside
the IDE.
The AppData reference here is not built-in to Windows Unicon, Windows Unicon
is trying to write a lot of compiler output do a directory specified by
a TEMP environment variable. On some Win7's everything seems to be working
great, but on a high enough percentage of them, there seems to be a
permissions issue for which we need to alter our strategy or assumptions
regarding how Windows wants us to write temporary files. In the old days of
Windows Icon, we were simply using a C library function to create our
temporary files, and it was doing so in C:\ which Microsoft outlawed some
time ago, so that's why we switched over to trying to write them where TEMP
says to do so.
Cheers,
Clint
