Lines: 48 I'm a novice with ETO, so I'm sorry if this is an elementary question. However, I'm quite frustrated. I've had ETO #3 for about a month now, and I still can't get the MacApp examples to compile. A couple of weeks ago I posted a message because there was a bug in the ETO installer script. Several people sent me a fix which worked (sort of). The script still ends abnormally, but it seems to install most of the files in the correct place. It ends by complaining about an "if" statement. I made several attempts to install QR3 of MPW, but all failed. I finally realized that I needed to install version 3.1 of MPW first, and then QR3. However, I was still getting strange results. (For example, MPW would hang during its startup procedure). Finally, I decided to stick with MPW 3.1. This seems to be working ok. I can compile and run the Pascal, C, and C++ examples. However, none of the MacApp examples work. Here's a transcript of a session in which I tried to make "Nothing". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MABuildTool - v. 2.0.1 Release 10/25/90 Start: 7:38:01 PM 5/13/91 Copyright Apple Computer, Inc. 1986-1990 All Rights Reserved.
