Update: I thought I was on to something, working the RXSIOSAY portion of the code - nope. Then I googled the problem and found people suggesting opening stdout as a binary file - again, nope :-(.

Consider this simple test case entered into test.rexx:
say 1
say 2
say 3
say 4
Then from a command line, type
rexx test > out1.txt
out1 is just as expected, the numbers 1-4, one per line. However, if you take that file and Rexxwrap it:
rexx rexxwrap.cmd
and use just the defaults (no encryption etc.) to get test.exe. Then when you run
test.exe > out2.txt
and run a hex editor on...

I had a 2004 version and an old mingw compiler I had used before, they worked.

First, I was wondering if this forum is even being monitored... if it is, then I had a C question. (I am not a C programmer, just someone playing with rexx after a lot of years away.)
I'm using a newish dual core Dell running WinXP Pro. I installed the latest versions of Rexx/Wrapper, oorexx, regina and lcc-w32 since Rexx/Wrapper wouldn't work with my installs of mingw. I used the sample...

I did the myrexx.def and dlltool as described in the rexxwrap -h for MinGW and it did produce a libmyrexx.a file I copied it in the Regina lib and include directory it is in the rexxwrapper source directory and I placed it in the c:\mingw\lib directory with its other .a files.
Still no luck and the same error message.

Hi All ;
I am having a problem with rexxwrap.cmd
I type in the requests from rexx rexxwrap.cmd msd2asc2.rex .
The program compiles then it starts linking. I receive an error message msd2asc2.o:msd2asc2.c:(.text+0x6b1): undefined reference to `RexxStart@36'
collect2:ld returned 1 exit status
error linking msd2asc2
I am running Regina 3.4 windows 32, Mingw 5.1.4 and rexxwrapper 2.4.
Thanks...

The same stated (mis)behavior occurs in all the *nixes I've ported to: Irix 6.5, Solaris 8, HP-UX 11.1, and AIX 5.2. Only Linux and Windows(!) seem to behave like they're supposed to.
FULL WORKAROUND
Caveat - this workaround assumes you're inspecting "whoami" and the results of "ps" in an application started from the command line - it is not a daemon. I don't know what happens if you start...

WORKAROUND -
Assuming the program is named "testparse":
if uname('s') = "IRIX" then do
ls. = ""
whoami = ''
prod="testparse"
address system 'ps -ef | grep "'||prod'||" | grep -v grep' with output stem ls.
do i=1 while ls.i ""
do j=1 to words(ls.i)
if right(word(ls.i, j), length(prod)) = prod then do
whoami = word(ls.i, j)

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the prompt reply. At least in Irix 6.5, the situation is much worse than that. For the RexxWrapped program mentioned before, the results are almost always only the name without path or extension! So the commands
./testparse
cd ..
build/testparse
ALWAYS return
UNIX COMMAND testparse
The one exception is if the fully qualified pathname is given...

Hi Chris,
When the executable built by Rexx/Wrapper runs it attempts to find a fully qualified name for the current executable. Under Linux this is achieved by calling readlink( /proc/self/exe ) which will return the fully qualified (ie full path) of the executable that is currently running. Even on Linux it will only return /usr/people/chris/build/testparse (no .rexx).
See getargv0.c in...
