Hi,

A monkey2 xmas demo is now out - see the monkey2 blog page: https://blitz-research.github.io/

In case anybody lands here instead of the other thread...

Initially I got g++ related errors. It turns out my pre-existing MinGW was causing confusion.

So I deleted all references to MinGW in my environment variables. There were three of them.

Two user variables: GCC_EXEC_PREFIX and MinGW.

In the System variables I had to edit the Path.

Didn't even have to reboot.

Thanks Floyd!

There's a new v2 demo up that sets GCC_EXEC_PREFIX to null in it's config file which should fix this.

Also fixed the 'Open' file crash bug - my fault.

So running this may screw up my Blitzmax install?

<edit>sorry - is this a stupid question? Tell me if it is.

V2 runs fine on my Windows 7 box AND Blitzmax opens up, compiles and runs stuff whilst the WIP Defender clone that I've just built and executed is running at the same time.

Very nice work for an alpha release, really!

For me it did not screw up Blitzmax (installed V1 and V2).

One problem I encounter is after installing emscripten and changing the target.
While compiling it comes up with an error:
Checking JS engine [ node ] failed.... Error 2 ... The system can find the file specified.
I run the installer and the emrebuildsmods to install.
Do I need to setup something more?

btw the Console window did not allow to copy the error message. While you don't type there copy could really help.

No, monkey2 doesn't install or touch anything on your system, and deleting the monkey2 folder should delete everything.

The Epscripten release hasn't received much testing. You may have to install the download from the emscripten site, emsdk update it etc.

That did the trick!
Works like a charm now.
