1) It requires installation of nonstandard shared libraries X11 and libdl. The darwin engine "mc" available from metacard.com does not have this problem. Why the difference? I already had X11 installed and compiling libdl right now. I am just surprised I have to compile something to get the revolution engine to work.
2) I tried the following as an experiment.
sudo cp revolution /usr/local/bin/mc create mainstack in Rev IDE, save as filename "fu.rev" write a handler in the stack
on startup put "hello world" put linefeed end startup
# chmod +x fu.rev # ./fu.rev
external startup mc: Can't open display mc: Can't load stack or script ./fu.rev
Anyone know why the shell script front end that appears in each MC stack does not work on OS X? Does it work on Linux? Maybe I am not understanding the intent of this mini shell script that appears at the beginning of every Rev stack. Here it is.
#!/bin/sh # MetaCard 2.4 stack # The following is not ASCII text, # so now would be a good time to q out of more^L exec mc $0 "$@"
This, however, does work ok:
#!/usr/local/bin/mc on startup put "hello world" put linefeed end startup
Now I understand why the previous poster (I'm bad with names) was doing like this
#!/usr/local/bin/mc start using stack "some.rev"
3) The 2.1 command-line/CGI engines are not available?
4) Is there an Emacs mode for metacard and/or xtalk languages languages? My version of emacs thinks a .mc script is for M4 macro mode :-/
