#1 rexxwrapper 2.3 say-instructions not displayed in exe-files

[rexxoldie]

Hi all

I have recently downloaded rexxwrapper 2.3 and try to
run building an exe of a "hello world" rexx script

rexx interpreter: regina 3.3
cygnus gcc 3.3.3

My problem is that the say instructions do not work.
Nothing is displayed when exe is started. I have
tested several functions (Arg, Lineout, additions,
etc.). Everything seems to work except of the say-
instructions.

Here is the compile log

This is Rexx/Wrapper 2.3 - 03 January 2004

If you need to dump the original code from the

Done!

This is the rexx source

D:\programme\rexxwrap23>testx --key=1
--------------- Original program follows --------------
/* */
Say 'Hello world'
--------------- End of Original program ---------------

This is the test run

D:\programme\rexxwrap23>testx

Mi 14.12.2005 22:03:15
D:\programme\rexxwrap23>

As you can see, nothing is displayed

I have found out, that in the source testx.c there
exists no string "hello world". Is that ok?

Can anybody help me with this problem?

I have also tried mingw as compiler with the same
result

best regards

Hi,

It's been a long time and you may well be very beyond this, but I notice you are using Cygnus to build a Windows .EXE. Is it possible the difference between end of lines in *nix and Win may be the culprit? Perhaps if there's no line termination, the output is in a buffer. One way to test this is to use one of the commands that works, e.g.,
m=lineout("stdout", ' ')
and see if it forces "hello world" output.

Me, I have the opposite problem: I note that when I run the prebuilt RexxWrapper on Windows, "say" output actually has TWO carriage returns preceding the linefeed! I can actually see them in a hex editor. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
