To run chuck.exe, it's easiest to run command.com and use it to execute chuck.exe. If you go to the start menu in windows, pick the run command and enter command in the box of the popup window. This will create a DOS window. You then use DOS commands to move to the directory containing the chuck script you want to run. If you have changed the path variable to include the chuck directory, you can then run chuck scriptname.ck; I didn't bother to fiddle with pathing, but rather copied the chuck.exe file into my scripts directories. Or you can assign chuck.exe as the executable file for .ck script files (but that will only allow you to run single scripts; if you execute chuck through the DOS window, you can run several scripts like this: chuck script1.ck script2.ck script3.ck which you will need to do if you're using the rec.ck or rec2.ck script to record the output... or wish to use several concurrent scripts.) --Gary Williams ---- Chess: http://chessnut.net/ Homepage: http://garywilliams.org/ Blog: http://tfs_reluctant.blogspot.com/ ChucK Blog: http://b-chuck.blogspot.com/ Resume: http://garywilliams.org/resume.htm Store: http://www.cafeshops.com/tfsreluctant/ Phone: (607) 775-0408 Permanent email: gwmster@gmail.com -------Original Message------- From: ChucK Audio Programming Language Mailing List Date: 04/28/05 12:03:30 To: ChucK Audio Programming Language Mailing List Subject: [chuck] hi and newbie problems executing chuck Hi all chuckers. This is my first message on this list. I'm jesus gollonet, a web designer and interactive developer living in barcelona. I've been following toplap's movements for the last four or five months and now am really interested in getting into chuck, but... I've downloaded the exe (for windows) and extracted it but it doesn't seem to work. When i double click it, an ms-dos windows appears just for an instant, and then nothing. At first i thought that i had to compile it using cygwin (i'm not much into compiling programs myself and don't find the intructions on the web really clear), but someone in a forum told me that the exe was all i needed, so... any idea of what's happening? I'm on a 2 ghz centrino, 1 gb RAM, dell inspiron laptop. Win xp home and... that's all i think By the way, i love your work and am beginning to see some web exposure of chuck.Hope this thing gets big. Thanks a lot -- http://www.jesusgollonet.com/blog/ _______________________________________________ chuck mailing list chuck@lists.cs.princeton.edu https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/chuck
