Did you download SDK version 2.7.8, in the mail I received there was a link to 2.7.6.
james_nak
It was 2.7.8 and it had all the various OS's

Well, that proves there is still someone at the helm. I haven't communicated with RT regarding the SDK since last year.
james_nak
Yes, there is someone there at the other end. BTW, using 2.7.8 fixed all my issues.
Maxim
yes quite a few bugs fixed in 2.7.8 :-)
Henrik
When I run an encapped executable, I get the "Not enough memory" error. I remember seeing this before, but is it related to being unable to unpack the encapped source?
Henrik
rebooting windows helped.
Gregg
I haven't seen that in so long that I don't remember possible causes. I think there are values that cause problems when encapped, and also certain encap header values that can trigger it.
Maxim
serialized values get corrupted when encapped... which is why I had to rebuild my own prebol engine from scratch. I also wrapp my main source within a string, to be sure that the encap app doesn't corrupt my code.
Gregg
Thanks Max.
Maxim
(forgot to mention that I just just DO that string, which is the whole encapped source. basically equivalent to just running the script.)
so my script, once assembled looks like this:
rebol [ ... ] ; put what you want in the header
#include mezz/... ; whatever mezz code I need.
do { ... } ; the whole script, including results of my own extensive pre-processing toolchain
Gabriele
Henrik, that's usually (but not necessarily always) because of DECOMPRESS. REBOL just takes the last four bytes (IIRC) of the binary as the original size, and tries to allocate that much memory.
so, if REBOL can't find the encapped data correctly, the binary passed to DECOMPRESS will be wrong and is likely to cause that.
Henrik
Gabriele, yes I realize that now. I was simply wondering why one had to reboot windows in order to fix the problem.
Maxim
larger contiguous memory areas
Gabriele
well, the question is why was rebol failing at loading the encapped data.
Henrik
Are there any reported problems with enface.exe hanging, when trying to build a source file, where ENCAP: "" exists in the header?
Maxim
continuing from ~chit chat group...
guys... some of my code doesn't run when pre-processed. I never use encap to pre-process it, I always run pre-rebol manually. The result of this doesn't execute without errors.
My version of pre-rebol even had MOLD replaced with MOLD/ALL and that created new bugs. only using my string version of pre-processor, has the original code been able to be linked into one source without having execution bugs.
I also had to workaround the encap issue which automatically calls a pre-process on my linked file .
Why is everyone trying to tell me I'm not having these issues.
I'm simply letting you guys know that block-based pre-processors mangle the data in some cases, and that string-based pre-propressing is safer (and much more flexible). Note that my pre-processor uses load/next when it finds some keywords.
