problem using dll with namespace compiled with cobra

[gauthier]

How to reproduce:

file: somenamespace.cobra

namespace SomeNamespace
    class SomeType
        pass

compile with

Code: Select all

cobra -ert:yes -t:lib somenamespace.cobra

file: test.cobra

use SomeNamespace

class Program
    def main is shared
        t = SomeType()

compile with

Code: Select all

cobra -ert:yes test.cobra

I get verbose internal error (attached:

We have a ticket for this already: http://cobra-language.com/trac/cobra/ticket/3

Are you able to work around this by leaving the -ert:yes off of the library build?

Another workaround would be to leave -ert:no and later use ILMerge to combine everything when it comes time to deliver your application.

Thanks, the work-around is working

I just need to keep Cobra.Lang.dll arround my binaries

[Charles]

If you're using Cobra out of the source code repository, you shouldn't need to. The "install-from-workspace" script installs Cobra.Lang into the GAC where it can be found automatically. See http://cobra-language.com/trac/cobra/wiki/HowToInstallFromSource.

If you're using the latest Cobra and not able to build your project without copying the Cobra.Lang.dll to your directory, please let me know.

[gauthier]

Well, the fact that the install script do so in a fixed location was the reason I did not use it.

So I'll register the dll to the gac manually

[Charles]

I'll accept a patch that prompts the user for the location.

Something like:

Install to directory [C:\Cobra\Cobra-0.8.1-post]: _
