[1] NOV 11th 2006
Since PB4.01 fred has changed something that tailbite dislike.
heres the header of a compiled snipped (only a part of it) :
;
; PureBasic v4.01 (Windows - x86) generated code
;
; © 2006 Fantaisie Software
;
; The header must remain intact for Re-Assembly
;
; Window
; Gadget
; String
; StringExtension
; Misc2
; MemoryExtension
; Memory
; LinkedList
; LinkedListExtension
; Library
; Image
; ImagePlugin
; Font
; FileSystem
; File
; Date
; 2DDrawing
; Object
; SimpleList
; :System
; COMDLG32
; GDI32
; KERNEL32
; USER32
; WINSPOOL
;
format MS COFF
Now tailbite in the current version compiles ok but when i start purebasic again and want to compile
with the new lib i get this error (same as Falko´s) :
---------------------------
PureBasic - Error
---------------------------
Error: The following PureLibrary is missing: :System
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
And i made some changes to the TailBite.pb sources just like you wrote Gnozal, the SplitFunctions procedure. (See my post above)
Now the enumeration breaks exactly when the
; :System
part is reached.
