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/
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.

Hola Jesus, Hi Gary,
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.
With XP you need to do 'CMD' rather than 'Command' :-)
I didn't bother to fiddle with pathing, but rather copied the chuck.exe file into my scripts directories.
I did that too :-)
if you execute chuck through the DOS window, you can run several scripts like this:
chuck script1.ck script2.ck script3.ck
That¹s the bit I like the best! Paul
Thanks both. I have it now up and running and have tested with a couple of examples, but i guess that i'll have to brush up on my command-line skills before delving deeper into it. I mean, i can't even follow the tutorial, as i don't know how to create a new file or save an existing one. Do you know of a good resource for this tasks? It doesn't have to be necesarily chuck related, but it would help. And... Forgive me for dumb questions. I'm a sort of high-level (in terms of abstraction) programmer, and am not used to cope with ms-dos at all. If this is considered off topic i'll ask somewhere else. Anyway, thanx a lot. CheeerS!

Hi Jesus (and all Chuckers out there), I am working on the documentation and I would like to know what I could add to the chuck tutorial that would help you. I would like to help newbies get up and running without having to post to the list. Surely, there are others out there who got to the point of needing to ask a question and moved on to some other language instead. I am not a windows person but here is what I can offer you. ChucK files are simply text files with .ck instead of .txt. Use your favourite text editor (which will no doubt be audicle in the future!) to enter in the text in the tutorial and save it in the current directory that you are running ChucK. Then you can add your files like normal: chuck + test1.ck test2.ck You can do absolute paths as well: chuck + /home/adamtindale/chuckpatches/test1.ck I hope this helps you. Your experience is valuable and we are all here to help each other out. Welcome to our little corner of the world. To everyone else out there: I will try and release the first version of the manual out very soon. (hopefully very soon, school is out!!!) adam --art On Apr 28, 2005, at 3:09 PM, jesus gollonet wrote:

Thanks for your valuable help, people. Now i've been able to make it work. I guess i will spend some time in this little corner of the world, so let's see what it can offer :) Cheers. Adam R. Tindale escribió:

There's not much you need.
I mean, i can't even follow the tutorial, as i don't know how to create a new file or save an existing one. Do you know of a good resource for this tasks? It doesn't have to be necesarily chuck related, but it would help.
best thing to do, I've found, is create a new text file with notepad, and save it as a .CK file, Then double click on the file in explorer, and when it says "I dunno what to do with this, select a program to associate it with", go through the list and pick notepad :-)
And... Forgive me for dumb questions.
Not dumb, dumb is relative. Paul
