WALK$ gives Compiler error

[rikky]

 Hello.

I'm using BaCon  version 3.9.1

I was not able to use the new WALK$ keyword.
It gives me a compiler error.
No matter what I try.
Even if I just copy and past the examples.

PRINT WALK$(".", 1, ".+", FALSE, NL$)

gives :

Compiler error:

Description:
file 'tmp.NbacdUVCsB.bac' line 1: PRINT WALK$(".", 1, ".+", FALSE, NL$)
Cause:
implicit declaration of function 'WALK$' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

hint: check for missing header file or library.


Command exited with status 2


Also, (just a sugestion) would it be an idea to add the value 0 to search for everything, files, folders, devices, pipes, links etc.?

Thanks,
   Rik.

Hi rikky,

The WALK$ function will appear in BaCon 3.9.2. So to use it, you have to fetch the latest beta.

Aha, I see.

Thanks,

Compile Error when using bacon beta 3.9.3 built from repo (21.11.2019):

PRINT WALK$(".", 1, ".+", FALSE, NL$)

Compiler error:
Description:
file 'walk1.bac' line 1: PRINT WALK$(".", 1, ".+", FALSE, NL$)
Cause:
implicit declaration of function 'WALK$'; did you mean 'TAB$'? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

hint: check for missing header file or library.

What am I doing wrong ?
When I build from 3.9.2 build 3 stable it works.
BR,
Peter

Dear All,

I just compiled this:

PRINT WALK$(".", 1, ".+", FALSE, NL$)

using the latest beta from the repo and it works fine on Mint 19.2 64-bit.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Dear pebau,

You may have linked against an older 'libbacon.a' which is somewhere in your linking path. An error like "implicit declaration of function 'WALK$'" indicates that the BaCon static library does not contain the function.

Best regards

Hello,
I built again 3.9.3 from repo and WALK$ just works now.
Thank you
