Stand-alone app problem
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Stand-alone app problem
| ||
| When I make an application, the source runs correct in BMax, but the standalone app doesn't work the way it should (stuff like not writing on the screen, or sometimes not even opening). Could someone tell me how to make the application run on it's own please? |
| ||
| Should be the same, can you write a small hello world test app, compile it, and verify it's working? |
| ||
AppTitle$ = "Hello World"
Graphics 800,600
While Not KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE)
Cls
DrawText("Hello World",5,5)
Flip
Wend
EndGraphics
End
I've ran this in BMax and it opens and works, but the program on it's own doesn't even open the window. |

| XP/Vista? |
| ||
| are you using graphic files? If so, you need to include them. |

| are you using graphic files? If so, you need to include them. He said: I've ran this in BMax and it opens and works, but the program on it's own doesn't even open the window. The example he posted does not use images, nor any type of media. What version of mingw do you have? |
| ||
| I have Windows Vista Home Premium Using the latest version of MinGW (can't remember what version that was, i downloaded it about a week ago) |
| ||
| Is debug mode on or off? Do you have any 3rd party modules installed? |
| ||
| Where are you compiling the program? I have found that I need to save and compile files in the user directory. So you would put it in C:\Users\Wilkua\Projects\MyProgram.bmx Or whatever your user name is on your computer. You can get around that by right clicking the MaxIDE icon and choosing "Run as administrator" or turning off UAC. Not completely sure if that's your problem, usually the file won't even compile, but just something to check. |
| ||
| I have noticed the admin problems before when it said that linking the exe to BMax failed so I always run the program with admin permission. |
| ||
| Did you try disabling UAC? |
