If you take advantage of downloading the DAZ3D software for Mac 64-bit
computers, you need to be aware of a "gotcha":
It turns out that after installing the 64-bit versions of DAZ3D on my Mac that
LiveCode can't open a script editor window anymore. This turned out to be
because it inserted two "bad" environment variables: ($DAZSTUDIOVERSION_4-64
and $DAZSTUDIO_4-64) which LC would error out on when trying to work with
global variables. The "-" in these globals is what did it…
So if you've installed these and find yourself in a situation trying to open a
script window and seeing nothing but "revNewScriptEditor 1" in the Windows
menu, you'll need to either (a) wait until RunRev fixes it, (b) find another
copy of LC on another machine or install the MetaCard IDE and then edit the
revDebugger.rev file (in Contents/Tools/Toolset), go to the
"revDebuggerValidGlobalNames" function and change it to add:
filter tGlobalsRaw without "*-*"
It should look like this:
function revDebuggerValidGlobalNames
local tGlobalsRaw
put the globals into tGlobalsRaw
replace comma with return in tGlobalsRaw
# For now we just filter out the Vista 64 bit ones. Really we should remove
anything that is not a valid Rev identifier
# according to lextable.cpp, but that can easily be added in later as this is
the only place in the IDE this is done.
filter tGlobalsRaw without "*(x86)"
filter tGlobalsRaw without "*/*"
filter tGlobalsRaw without "*-*"
replace return with comma in tGlobalsRaw
return tGlobalsRaw
end revDebuggerValidGlobalNames
I'm sure RunRev will add this line in soon, but in the meantime it's a "gotcha"
you should be aware of…
