Converting Beta Error

[konaexpress]

Hi Peter.


Just got a chance to play with the beta but I am getting this error message when I use bacon.bash bacon.bac from the command line.

Syntax error: argument to PRAGMA at line 25 in file 'bacon.bac' not recognized!

Not sure if I did some thing wrong or not.

John

EDIT: Here is what I did from the command line.

john@iMac:~/Projects/BaCon/Beta$ bacon.bash bacon.bac
Converting 'bacon.bac'... 25
Syntax error: argument to PRAGMA at line 25 in file 'bacon.bac' not recognized!

Hey John


Since Peter is the author developer of BaCon
it would be correct for him to do a lot of testing
of the betas before he makes them official versions

But generally speaking we should use stable versions
for the general population as the installed version
compile with it and if something doesn't work
as expected you could see if it was fixed with the latest beta

To do this easily and have a test folder let's say BETA
for testing out beta versions to help out
beta testing and offering user feed back
==========================================


Well you want to compile bacon.bac
the beta version
with the bash script bacon.bash

so this is done differently like this
(make sure you change the permissions to executable first chmod a+x bacon.bash )

Do this just one time
./bacon.bash bacon.bac

now to test beta versions instead of using the installed official BaCon
keep all your bacon apps you want to test in this BETA folder

and run them after compiling the bacon.bac as explained above
./bacon your_program.bac

HTH

Thanks big guy, I think I see what I did wrong. The commands I gave was trying to convert bacon.bac with the stable version of bacon.bash that is in my path? I need to use the new version of bacon.bash......


Thank you,
John

Thanks Bigbass! This looks to be working now, should have guessed this.

OK, this is fun. Love it!

Is it just me or is converting and compiling way faster? WOW!
