Re: [xmlvm-users] Demos Translated to JavaScript

[Sascha H. <sa...@xm...>]

David,

what OS are you working on? I guess OSX or Linux?

The Python is not originated in XMLVM. It is part of Qooxdoo, which we use
in our build process. It creates a skeleton application, provides us with an
Object-Oriented model and also an application builder. I am not actually
sure what we used in the XML11 times, but XML11 is no longer maintained. It
could be that you picked up a version that is not using Qooxdoo.

What path did you set for XMLVM_QOOXDOO_PATH? I would like to reproduce this
error on the weekend if possible and provide a fix.

Thanks
// Sascha
