prodict

[jdpjamesp]

I'm trying to get an old project to compile and most of it is working, but I'm struggling with a few bits I don't recognise.

{prodict/dictvar.i NEW}
{prodict/user/uservar.i NEW}
{prodict/user/userhue.i NEW}

Any ideas what I need to include in the propath to get this to compile? I've got the prodict.pl from the gui directory but that's not helped.

You have extracted the contents of the prodict.pl? A compile will not grab includes from a pl.

 

[Rob Fitzpatrick]

I learned this one the hard way... there is a prodict.pl that contains r-code, and it's in your propath by default. It is in $DLC/tty for character clients and in %DLC%\gui for prowin32. There is also a prodict.pl in $DLC/src (or %DLC%\src) that contains source. You can extract the source from the PL following this KB article. Put the parent directory of that newly-created prodict directory in your propath and you should compile clean.

Thanks both. Really useful.

 

[jdpjamesp]

Hmmm my src directory only has the adeedit.pl in it. Anyone know where I can get the others from?

 

[jdpjamesp]

Reading further apparently you need certain products installed to get the source. Anyone know what product I am missing to get source in 11.2.1?

I would have thought PDSOE would do it. Did you do the install, or did someone else? It might have to do with whether it was full or partial. Try doing a full install on another machine and see if the src is there. If it is, copy it over to your machine and then blow away the other installation.

 

[jdpjamesp]

Pretty sure I did the full install, but can't be certain. Nobody else in the business has the code either. Might be time for a VM...

 

[jdpjamesp]

Done a VM and made sure it was a full install, and only got adeedit.pl. Have raised a support request with Progress.

Cringer, check this: http://knowledgebase.progress.com/articles/Article/P113530/p

 

[jdpjamesp]

Thanks Rob. PSDN doesn't exist any more

 

[Rob Fitzpatrick]

Hasn't the code share been moved to the new Progress Community site?

 

[jdpjamesp]

Quite likely but I can't find it.

 

[Rob Fitzpatrick]

Here it is: https://community.progress.com/tech...dge-11-2-1-development-tools-source-code.aspx

It includes prodict.

You, sir, are a legend!

You, sir, are a legend!

No, just stubborn enough not to be defeated by the crappy search capabilities of the Progress web site.

 

[jdpjamesp]

lol I still maintain your legend status
