Error "The function start does not exist"
Nov 5th, 2008, 12:59am
 
I had a problem getting my program working in the Processing 0154. I was getting an error message "The function start does not exist".  I found the answer by searching processing.org.   dda had asked about the error message and mots had provided a solution:

-----
this is because minim was intergrated in processing with that version.

and it seems the version you have is older than the one you use to use. (you can remove the minim lib from your lib folder, it's not needed anymore)

the thing is the doc of minim states to use static functions such as Minim.start(this);
but you have to do instead :  

Minim myMinim = new Minim(this); //this does the start() at the same time...

myMinim.whateverYouUsedToDo();

The original thread seems to have been moved and then deleted http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=Collaboration;action=display;num=1224588179

So I thought I'd repost the answer here for others that run into the same problem.
