Community IDE: Null object

Archives Forums/Linux Discussion/Community IDE: Null object

hello!

i tried compiling the community ide, because the original one is really ugly ^^...now i get a problem: compile runs fine, but when i try to run the IDE in the blitzmax directory, i will get the following error:

stephan@stephan-laptop:~/BlitzMax118_Linux/BlitzMax$ ./maxide.debug
~>Unhandled Exception:Attempt to access field or method of Null object
~>


and thats all, it will not run at all. latest blitzmax with latest modules, tried fltk and gtk build :-\ community version: 2.00b2. thank you!

if it's the latest version of blitzmax, why does your directory state it's 118? you should be on 1.28.

having said that there are a few issues with maxide2 on gtk - hopefully will resolve these over the weekend and post beta3.

Its where the original program (and thus updates) go - I dont bother updating the directory name for each update either...

I think the null object issue is caused by a problem in the gtk / fltk implementations of TIconStrip.

See the recent mention of FLTK & GTK issues in the thread below for details - it's an easy fix:

But be warned as you might run into further problems with gtk like me in this thread:
