I got an error while publishing with the 'Starter' option checked. Can someone point me to documentation on the meaning of the ERRNO values?

Cheers!

Not sure if this can help:

The ERRNO number has no meaning. "ERRNO" just means that there's an error in the WINDOW definition, but does not distinguish between different errors.

I am also having publish problems that I can't track down. Im using A6 Pro, but I am getting similiar error numbers: My Post

I've searched through the forums very carefully and found a few threads about publishing issues. Usually caused by bad format images, i.e not 8-bit. However in my case I have no images at all, so I am at a loss for how to fix this.

Would re-installing GS help?

I believe my starter definitions are correct, I've copied some from working examples given by other members here and still I have this issue, preventing me from building starter file.

Are there any other, minor, script errors that could cause this to happen? Maybe comments that are not closed properly in other scripts or some similiar issue?

As I said in my post, for me it seems to be on a project by project basis. The last time I checked, new projects built starter files no probs.

Sorry if I am hijacking this thread a little, although we share the same pain it seems

EDIT: Error = No starter window definition found!

If you can't find the error, run the starter compiler directly. I'm not sure if that was already possible with A6, but click wdfc.exe. If it works, it opens a panel where you can enter your file name with the WINDOW definition, and then displays the line with the error.

Thanks JCL, yes A6 has the wdfc.exe which I have tried but it returns the same error: Errno #295.0

I can create starters for new projects without any problems, but I have 2 seperate projects now that will not compile a starter.

Just as a side note: is there any issue building the starter .wdf file from another project and then copying it into the publish location?

Thanks for the rapid reply JCL

No, the starter can be created from any project, even from a dedicated starter project. Can you post your WINDOW definition?

Thanks, window def below was taken straight out of the manual:

This builds fine in a new project and even in some older projects. However if I copy and paste this script into either my X-Blaster project or a few other recent builds I get error : #287 from WED.

However this script did compile with WDFC this time. Wierd

[EDIT:1] I am going to do a clean reinstall of A6 Pro and see how I get on.

[EDIT:2] I've now completely re-installed A6 pro and I am still getting the error with a few projects. I have just purchased a new PC, so that will get a truly clean install to run against.

If it still won't create a starter, I am back to the drawing board. However the X-Blaster template project that this happens in, will be released as source very soon, maybe you can take a look at it for me then.

In the meantime I can create starters and drop them into the publish folder. Thanks
