Hi- We're releasing a new version of PowerDebug. The major new addition is the ability to debug standalone applications. And across different computers in the same network subnet. And cross-platform (you can debug an application running on a Windows machine using an IDE on OSX, etc). And even revlets. LiveCode, MetaCard, Windows, OSX, linux.
Registered PowerDebug users are entitled to the updates, and should already have gotten notification emails. There's a text file in the zip archive describing debugging of standalone applications, but the short form is this: 1. Include the libRemoteDebug.rev stack as a substack of your standalone application 2. Add this to the main stack of your standalone: on startup insert the script of stack "libRemoteDebug" into front end startup and build your standalone application. If PowerDebug is running in the same network subnet as the standalone then it will be able to catch breakpoints and runtime errors just as if it were running in the IDE (but see Known Issues below). Known Issues: There's a socket problem with standalones trying to change variable values. Clicking in the variables display for standalones has been disabled until this is worked out. It's apparently somewhere in the engine, so it's out of my control for the moment. The old revlet demo is still here http://www.ahsoftware.net/PowerTools/PowerDebug/PDDemo.html and there's an updated annoying nagware version on revOnline. Even more, we're keeping the introductory pricing of $25 through the end of May. http://www.ahsoftware.net/PowerTools/BuyPowerDebug.irev ...and if you don't need all the bells and whistles, rumor has it that Richard Gaskin has something in the works... -- Mark Wieder [email protected] _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
