Diddy install issue

Monkey Forums/Monkey Programming/Diddy install issue

loz666(Posted 2011) [#1]
I think I have almost certainly done something wrong, but cannot find what.

I have unzipped and copied the diddy folder and contents to;

...\MonkeyPro47d\modules\

On trying to compile (XNA) the SpaceBugs game example I get;

Compile Error
Module 'diddy' not found.

I can compile other non-diddy examples (eg monkeypuzzle).

Any ideas where I have gone wrong?

Can you post a screen shot of your Monkey/modules folder?

Do I need to upload it to a filestore then use HTML to point to it?

Cannot see any way to upload an image to the forum.

The way I get diddy to work is to copy the directory diddy_rXXX.zip\diddy\src\diddy to MonkeyProXX\modules\

Copying the entire first diddy directory doesn't seem to work.

Tried that as well, still no luck.

Under the c:\MonkeyPro47d\modules

I now have;

diddy - directory with \data, \examples, \monkeymax, et al below

diddy_r302 - as above

diddy_r302.zip file

Surely one of these should be picked up?

Have I missed something completely obvious?

Sorry, addendum;

diddy_r302 - has \diddy then directory with \data, \examples, \monkeymax, et al below

Rename your current diddy directory to diddy_src.

Now copy the \diddy directory from that diddy_src\src directory to your MonkeyPro47d\modules.

You will now have a c:\MonkeyPro47d\modules\diddy directory with a \gui and \native directory and some *.monkey files.

That should work. The key is getting the \src\diddy directory into a \modules\diddy directory.

That seems to have done it, thanks!

And now on re-reading the install it does seem I did miss the blatantly obvious (well it is when you have done it and then re-read it)!

Did you read this:

http://code.google.com/p/diddy/wiki/HowToInstall

If so, how would you edit it so you could follow it better?


loz666(Posted 2011) [#10]
I did read that, and I am not saying that it is badly written.

As usual I was doing half a dozen things at the same time.

I misread 'Go into the src folder and copy the diddy folder into your Monkey/modules folder.'

and copied the higher level 'diddy' folder (diddy_r302\diddy) into the modules folder.

Possibly a slight renaming of folders in the zip file may improve readability.
