| | LDGLite 1.0.18 for OS X now sets LDRAWDIR correctly
|
|
Thanks to Erik Knopp we discovered that the set-ldrawdir.command script that shipped with LDGLite 1.0.18 was not correctly setting the ldrawdir value for users who placed their ldraw directories in their user libraries (~/Library/ldraw). That error (...) (21 years ago, 2-Sep-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

(...) I'm glad you got it working. I am also glad that you had the patience to fix it. Now we know we have to fix the distribution. I wonder how many people just gave up. Chris (21 years ago, 30-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

Firstly, we have to assume the referenced parts (...) (21 years ago, 30-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) Now I know! There is a bug in set-ldrawdir.command. Set-ldrawdir.command should not be using a "~". I just confirmed this by chaning mine to a "~", and ldglite could not find my ldraw directory. So, you did everything right, we didn't. Sorry. (...) (21 years ago, 29-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

(...) One thing, though. LDView can't be used to make instructions without using LPub, since it doesn't itself support the STEP command. And of course, LPub hasn't been ported to the Mac. --Travis (21 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
