Trouble installing BlitzMax

| ||
I bought Blitz Basic and then BlitzPlus and then BlitzMax in 2005. It worked fine and I did a few small apps. But I spent most time with BlitzPlus because it was easier than BlitzMax and did everything I needed. Now, I NEED to use BlitzMax and downloaded the latest version, BlitzMax133rc5_win32x86.exe, including MaxGui132_win32x86.zip I really need it for Ubuntu 9.04 but I need to learn it in a familiar environment - Windows - as I am a newbie in Linux. I installed it with a double-click, opened MaxGui132_win32x86.zip and dragged maxgui.mod into C:\Program Files\BlitzMax\mod\ But it doesn't work. I get this message when the IDE configures ... Rebuilding documentation... Error: Unable to open 'C:/Program Files/BlitzMax/mod/maxgui.mod/fltkmaxgui.mod/fltkmaxgui.bmx' Building: MaxGUI Building: MaxGUI.Drivers Error: Unable to resolve link 'MaxGUI.Win32MaxGUIEx' Error: Unable to resolve link 'MaxGUI.Win32MaxGUIEx' Error: Unable to resolve link 'MaxGUI.FLTKMaxGUI' I didn't notice this at first. I tried compiling this code ... ====================================================== 'CenteredWindow SuperStrict Import maxgui Global wide:Int = 800 Global high:Int = 600 Global xres:Int = GadgetWidth(Desktop:TGadget()) Global yres:Int = GadgetHeight(Desktop:TGadget()) Global px:Int = (xres/2) - (wide/2) Global py:Int = (yres/2) - (high/2) Global window:TGadget=CreateWindow("Centered Window", px, py, wide, high, Null, 3|WINDOW_ACCEPTFILES) Repeat WaitEvent() If EventID() = EVENT_WINDOWCLOSE End Forever ====================================================== and this is what I get: Building CenteredWindow Compiling:CenteredWindow.bmx Compile Error: Can't find interface for module 'maxgui' [G:/Coding/BlitzMax/#CenteredWindow/CenteredWindow.bmx;3;1] What must I do to set things straight? |

does the fltkmaxgui.bmx that you receive the error about look OK? for example, can you open it in notepad, or do you also get a permission error or blank file that way? |

use import maxgui.drivers |

Hey, Zeke :-) That Did it! Thank you (-_-) |

Btw, the new WINDOW_CENTER window style flag can be used as shorthand for what you are wanting to do. :-) |
