VLX Command Unknown

I'm trying to compile my first VLX application under Arch Desktop 2004. Up
until now I have always compiled my code into FAS files, which have worked
fine, but this particular set of code relies on three DCL files as well, and
for performance and distribution reasons, I'd like to compile it all into
one VLX file.

Using the Make Application Wizard (expert mode), I've successfully created
the VLX file. Unfortunately, after I load it and try to run one of the
defined C: functions at the command line, I get an Unknown Command error; if
I try to load and run within the Visual LISP editor, it returns nil.

Any idea what's going on? I've tried all different modes and options with
the Make Application Wizard with the same results.

Thanks in advance,

Jason Peterson

 

are your source files/project file on a server? does your program work
uncompiled?

if so, i have a similar problem here. if your current vlx file size is very
small, the source lisp files are not being compiled into the vlx. the
workaround for my situation was to create a new project file on my local and
compile at that location (source files still on the server - vlx compiled to
local).


hope this helps,

Unless you provide the code, (which you won't), we'd only be guessing.

So, since this is your first attempt at DCL with visual lisp, you more than
likely made a mistake somewhere in the source code, or you compiled the DCL
files as LSP files. You must specify DCL files defined in the pull-down.
Again, I'm only guessing since I don't know what your code consists of.

Sorry for taking so long to reply.

I think you misunderstood my statement or maybe I didn't make it clear.
This isn't my first attempt at coding a DCL file. In fact, the lisp code
and DCL's in question has been working for years in uncompiled and compiled
FAS format. My understanding of VLX files led me to believe that I could
combine all the lisp and DCL files into one compiled VLX.

Daron's sollution appears to have worked.

That worked Daron. Thanks. Seems like a bug to me.

i'm not crazy! i knew it!

i had asked this question and posted this work around before, and was shot
down and flamed by some here.
