Tiemo,
Although I hope someone can help you make things work with the
standalone builder, there is a manual way to set the externals for a
stack which was used before the standalone builder did things for you.
You can create an empty stack, set its externals property and load
this stack when you need it from your standalone.
Roughly:
1) Create an empty stack, call it say "valentina.rev"
2) In the message box, execute: set the externals of this stack to
"v4rev.bundle"&cr&"v4rev.dll"
3) Save this stack and the Valentina externals to somewhere where you
standalone will be able to access them
4) Modify your application to do something like this:
set the directory to "path.to.externals/" (this could be a relative
path)
start using stack "valentina.rev"
There are many variations on how you could setup the files, but the
takeaway is this:
Whenever Rev loads a stack with it's "externals" property set, it will
attempt to load the externals listed.
From a standalone, you can load a regular stack which you've stashed
somewhere which already has this property set.
Thus if you can anticipate where your externals will be (using
relative paths to your standalone), you can create a stack which
serves to load them for you.
Hope that helps. It's easier when the standalone builder just works,
but it can be handy to get to know the lower level workings of
external loading as well.
Hello,
I am still without success building the Mac standalone of my Rev
3.0+Valentina4Rev3 app on my Win XP machine. The standalone builder
just
doesn't takes the Valentina bundles into the standalone folder. What
I have
done so far is:
1. Setup everything of valentina how the docs say. And Valentina
runs fine
in the IDE of my XP machine and in Win Standalone.
2. In the standalone settings of my stack I build for Mac
(Universal) and
checked: Select inclusions for the standalone app: - Script Libraries:
"Valentina2" (Tried before also to check "database support")
3. I copied "the v4rev.bundle" and the "database_drivers" folder
(from my
Mac) into the Win XP directory: C:\Dokumente und
Einstellungen\Tiemo.KESTNER\Eigene Dateien\My Revolution Studio
\Runtime\Mac
OS X\Universal\Externals\
4. In the folder: C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Tiemo.KESTNER\Eigene
Dateien\My Revolution Studio\Externals - there is a Valentina txt
file with
one line: "Valentina2,v4rev.dll" and a folder: Database Drivers
again with a
txt file and the line "Valentina2,dbvalentina2.dll".
Up to now I don't understand at all, how the link from Rev to
externals
works. Probably my problem is just a wrong path or a missing option.
Perhaps
somebody could explain to me the mechanism of information setup how
Rev
knows which externals to bind and where they have to be put on a XP
machine.
I would think this mechanism should be the same for all externals and
perhaps I just have to put the folders into the right place.
Thanks for any help
Tiemo
