I just set up bennu with ConText, and when I try to run it, the screen pops up and closes immediately. I followed the wiki's instructions. Is the wiki outdated?

PS: WHen I run the dcb from command client with bgdi.exe, it works fine. ¬_¬
PPS: the bgdi.exe stays an active process. It's just that the window disappears. D:

I don't get it. DO I still have to use commandline to compile and / or run the prg->dcb->test?

Might as well create a shell script then.

Dennis, to possibly debug this problem, follow the following steps:

1) make a shortcut to said executable file
2) rightclick on this shortcut's properties
3) locate the 'target' field and add the parameter cmd /k to the front of the path (not after the path!)
4) Click 'ok'
5) Try the shortcut out. You will now see a screen that won't go away. The screen contains the error that was given.

Code:
     Loop
          For ( f = 1 ; f < 5 ; f = f + 1 )
          frame;
          End
           scroll[1].x0 = scroll[1].x0 + 1;
     End



What's wrogn with

Code:
     Loop
          frame(500);
       scroll[1].x0 = scroll[1].x0 + 1;
     End


Why use unnecessary variables and unnecessary loops?

If you are running under Win7 you may need to set ConTEXT to Run as Administrator. The wiki is perfect apart from that small detail, perhaps needs a minor update in that sense.

I find ConTEXT is a very professional and useful tool!

Also make sure bgdi.exe and bgdc.exe are set to Run as Administrator as this should solve any future problems such as SAVE commands, creating files etc.

I'll think about your FPG problem.

Also: "pause after execution" needs to be checked to keep the console alive.

imho, ConTEXT is the best IDE.

Also, thanks for the "run as administrator" tip!

I bought a book recently based on Unreal Engine scripting, you get a quick ConTEXT setup guide similar to the BennuWiki for coding use and compiling.

Yes it's the best free IDE option for Bennu! Perhaps when Flamebird MX for Bennu is finished we may have that alternative. Not sure, haven't tried it.
