IIgs registry?
I just got a copy of Orca/C for Christmas. And it's giving me some major
headaches.
First, I tried to compile the standard "Hello, world" program. It ran fine
under the test window, but gave me this error when I tried to run the
executable under GS/OS:
The application "" cannot be found for this document.
Hmm, I thought. Maybe I set the compile options wrong. So I played with all
the options, to no avail. I tried to run one of the pre-compiled samples, the
"Quick" benchmark, just to see what would happen. I got the same error. So I
tried registering the file to itself. That seemed to work. The program
executed in a text window, and returned me to the desktop. I tried to run
another sample, but it executed the "Quick" program again. Apparently, all the
Orca/C compiled programs are looking for Quick now, trying to pass themselves
as a parameter to the benchmarker.
I deleted the entire Orca installation, and reinstalled under a different
directory. Then I tried to run another sample program. I got a similar
message this time:
The application "quick" cannot be found for this document.
It looks like I've screwed up some kind of registry. How can I fix this
problem, and how am I supposed to compile programs to execute themselves under
GS/OS? The Orca manual provided no help that I could find. I'm an experienced
C/C++ programmer, but I'm still very new to the IIgs. Any help would be
appreciated.
thanks,
