Having trouble with "Export Application" (Windows) (Read 5437 times)

Having trouble with "Export Application" (Windows)
Feb 20^th, 2010, 8:45pm

I have a sketch running in Processing 1.0.9, and it runs fine from the sketch window. When I try to export it to a standalone windows application, Processing creates the application.windows folder, which contains the 'lib' and 'source' subdirectories, and I have an application and an export.txt file, but when I double-click the application, it does nothing. Doesn't even try to run.

What am I doing wrong, and since it doesn't run, where do I begin to look to troubleshoot it?

I'm using the controlP5 and minim libraries, which are all properly placed in relation to the sketch folder.

I get no errors during the export process either.

Thanks for any help you can offer....

Jim

I originally posted it in the Syntax subforum, as I'm quite sure that I'm doing something wrong, not that Processing is causing the problem...... Just asking..... Jim

Maik,

Ok, it is working now....Moved the fonts to the 'application.windows' folder as you suggested, but I also had to move any other files that my processing program was utilizing, such as a few .jpg files that I load under certain circumstances..

Thanks for the help...

No... But this is the place to talk about the PDE (I think), and Export is a feature of the PDE. Maybe Integration would have been a better place, though.
What is sure is that's not a syntax question, at least originally, because you don't show any code... And issues like forgetting files and lack of signing an applet are not syntax issues either.

Hi,
I'm having the same problem - my sketch works in Processing (1.0.9) - but won't run as a Windows app. I get a lib and source folder and an EXE, but it does nothing when I run it.

I'm using controlP5 too - and the app compiled fine before I added it, so I think it's causing the error. I'm not using TEXT(); and I'm not loading any external assets.

I think the controlP5 library is in the right place, as it's working in Processing, but I could be wrong.

I've tried making all "fields and functions which are used by controlP5 public" as suggested in the controlP5 docs, but this hasn't helped.

Any suggestiong would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
