Wrapping a Tcl service for Windows

OS: Windows

I'm still having problems with the latest TDK with a wrapped Windows service. I had posted about a year ago about this (not sure where it went) and was told it was going to be fixed but to use the 8.4 in the mean time. I've tried with the current TDK and have the same results. Any updates?

Compile Tk/Tkx on Windows for Mac OS X

OS: Windows

I'm using Perl 5.10 and PDK 8.1 (32-bit) under Windows to compile versions of my code to linux/Mac. The PDK doesn't want to pull in the Tk libraries when using -target macosx-universal-32. I've tried using --add Tk and --add Tk;Tkx but no luck.

This is basically what I'm running:
perlapp -target macosx-universal-32 --bind dialogtop.bmp -exe mac/myprog -force myprog.cgi --icon meld.icns

And the compile gives errors such as:
Tk.pm:
error: Can't locate Tk.pm
refby: perlapp --add
refby: myprog.cgi line 565,1870

Sync Settings with Dropbox

OS: Windows

Has anyone tried to sync up multiple installations of KomodoEdit via Dropbox?

I tried changing the APPDATA envvar to a folder inside the dropbox folder, but it didn't work. Mostly interested in keeping servers in sync from desktop to laptop.

Thanks,

Matt

Dealing with Side by Side problems on Windows

OS: Windows | Product: Komodo | tags: assemblies komodo side by side windows
Question: 

After a Windows update, Komodo no longer works, and the log files are untouched. I'm seeing three messages in the event viewer complaining about missing assemblies. What can I do?

Answer: 

These are the event messages the question refers to:

  • 1st: Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.CRT could not be found and Last Error was The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.

  • 2nd: Resolve Partial Assembly failed for Microsoft.VC80.CRT. Reference error message: The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.

  • 3rd: Generate Activation Context failed for C:\Program Files\ActiveState Komodo Edit 5\lib\mozilla\komodo.exe. Reference error message: The operation completed successfully.

This is one of those problems that a small number of Komodo users have
reported in the last month, but we haven't been able to duplicate. A bit
of research found forums suggesting people delete directories in the
Windows/SxS area, but that sounded risky. One of our customers found
more success by downloading and installing the free-as-in-beer
Visual Basic Studio 8 Express Edition.

Until anyone finds a problem with that, it sounds good. In the meantime
I'm reading up on the problem and brushing up on MSI Merge Modules.

subroutine new called using indirect syntax

OS: Windows

I downloaded and started a trial of PDK today. The first thing I start trying is PerlCritic. So far I found many issues in my Perl code with it. Most of things I was able to understand and fix so far.

But I stumbled on things like these two examples below:

my $ini = new Config::IniFiles -file => $iniFile;
my $data = new Win32::ODBC($connectionString);

PerlCritic insists that the subroutine new should not use indirect syntax. I spent quite some time to find more info and fix this but so far without success. Can anybody, please, point me to more info and/or fix for such things?

bluetooth serial port problem

OS: Windows

Hi,
I (badly) wrote a small program to control a device via serial port (more details here http://www.tarapippo.net/uniden/tcl15.html).
Works fine as long as I run a "hard wired" one, but refuses to start with the virtual ports created by a bluetooth dongle.

Serial port runs flawlessly when I use a terminal emulator.
Two virtual ports are associated to the BT device, one called "outgoing" (mapped to COM6) and one called "incoming", mapped to COM7.

The error message I get is:
"couldn't reopen serial 'COM6': invalid argument"

PHP API Catalogs

OS: Windows

Hello Everyone.

Before I being, I just want to say Thank You to all those that worked on Komodo Edit, it is brilliant.

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit. and Komodo Edit, version 5.2.1, build 4108.

As I type PHP, I would like an autocomplete feature to be present. For that I think I would need a PHP API Catalog under Edit > Preferences > Code Intelligence > API Catalogs.

In there I have many things listed .. one was ticked .. but I unticked it since it was for python, and I won't be using python.

But PHP is not even listed in there !!
