I've fixed it, but not released it yet. Also, I am working on a native mac ui, which is getting closer to completion. I'd very much like to pass it by you if you have the time to take it for a beta ride.

Good timing(other than it being midnight, and my wife's already toddled off). Looks like I'll have to check 'er out. The c-style coding sounds like something made of love to me. Tell you how she works. Lighter, might. Well, well, well, and here I am on Windows for the first time in days. Good timing(other than it being midnight, and my wife’s already toddled off).

Thanks for giving it a shot, at least.

I tried reinstalling X11 from my installation DVD, but now X11 is crashing on startup because *it* can't find the right .dylib files. It looks like I need to figure out what to change the $PATH variable to. Whee! :) Fortunately, other comments I've read point toward your procedure working for most people. Also, I have Windows computers I can run WordBuilder on. :) If I get the Mac version working, though, I'll let you know. Thanks for your time! Running from xterm gave the same error.

I'm sorry for being useless mac-wise. The best I could find on this was actually on http://www.mono-project.com/Mono:OSX : ----Quote---- For GTK# applications, it's easiest to run them the same way but using xterm from X11.app A MacOS X specific Mono launcher was in development but its status is unclear today ----End Quote---- Could you try this? Assuming you have this X11 stuff. It seems GTK isn't entirely as cross-platform as I'd like it to be. Heh. Thanks for checking it out!

I installed Mono 2.6.3 and unzipped your program, sticking it in my home directory on my Intel Mac with OS 10.5.8. I tried to run it, but got this result: [C22:~/monowordbuilder] kimble% mono gtkwordbuilder.exe Unhandled Exception: System.DllNotFoundException: libgtk-quartz-2.0.0.dylib at (wrapper managed-to-native) Gtk.Application:gtk_init (int&,intptr&) at Gtk.Application.Init () [0x00000] in :0 at gtkwordbuilder.MainClass.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00000] in :0 Moving the monowordbuilder folder to my Applications folder didn't help. I was able to find libgtk-quartz-2.0.0.dylib inside of /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib, if that tells you anything. I would appreciate any assistance you could give me.

Hm. I’ll have to examine this more closely, but I do think it’s great that you’re playing around with my test language, and your feedback is useful to get my own thoughts straight(er) ;)

For comparison, here’s how I’d instinctively stress these words:

mer KAM ror
ro BEN
te PAR
ka MOT tep mor (rule: stress the syllable before a double consonant?)
pi SOS bi kar
sel NER sin
SER
e RAN
li PI ko en
kak NOT ser

so pretty consistently on the second syllable… Hm.

Obviously, with SINT, the NT is considered one consonant. So: MER kam ror ro BEN(or ROB en? meh) te PAR(... or TEP ar) ka MOT tep mor(the possible permutations get unpleasant at three syllables or more) pi SOS bi kar SEL ner sin SER(kinda, duh) e RAN(no idea how it would be stressed if it were distributed er an) li pi ko en(?) or LIP i ko en(for words consisting entirely of CV VC or V syllables, I personally like the sound of stress on the penultimate syllable. This is also where I would place secondary stress in longer words. So li pi KO en) KAK not ser This is all a matter of MY taste, such as it is, and a possibly flawed understanding of what you have said. I looked at my copy of the esolanean.wdic file and realized I've added a lot of junk, like orcs and goblins to the mix. It's like I'm over here creating an odd dialect of Esolanean.
