SourceForge recently retired the Hosted Apps feature, and consequently our old MediaWiki setup was no longer functional. We have now migrated the contents to the Allura wiki tool, which is now up and running. Corrections and clean-up are underway. ... [More] Let us know if you find issues and errors. Wiki Main Page Also, after the retirement of our old wiki, the documentation links in OWLMaker no longer worked properly. Instead of showing the OWLMaker documentation page, the browser would only show the main OWLNext project page. This has now been corrected. The documentation links now point to the OWLMaker page on our new wiki. Build 2580 of OWLMaker includes this correction and is available for download in our Files section. If you have any broken links into our old wiki, you should update them now. [Less]

A new version of Armin Tueting's OLEProxyWizard is now available for download in our Files/Tools section. Changes: Added Windows 7/8 compatibility. Now generates correct namespaces for OWLNext 6.32 and later.

Owlet, an experimental branch for implementing and testing features proposed for version 7, has been uploaded to the OWLNext code repository at "branches/owlet". If you are interested in having a look, please do, and provide any feedback on our discussion forum. For more information, see Owlet leaves the nest.

The online OWLNext documentation has been updated, and it now reflects the latest changes on the upcoming 6.40 release branch.

See Online OWLNext Documentation. Offline HTML Help versions for 6.40 and 6.34 are also available for download in the Files section. [Less]

Here is what I get in "owlmaker.out" I will investigate more tomorrow.

I use XE5 I don't have any Embarcadero products so I cannot duplicate your setup for testing, but "bc.mak" works fine here, and invokes "update_version_header.bat" as expected, when I select "Borland C++ 5.5" and "Perform build setup" in OWLMaker. ...

What happens if you run "source/update_version_header.bat" manually from a command prompt? [Less]

SubWCRev is in the system path (I can manualy start in from a command prompt) Also "Perform build setup" is checked in the last setup screen of OwlMaker. When I build I get tons of error, the first been that it is not able to include version.h (so of coarse there are tons of errors) I use XE5

I tought version.h in the include directory would be automaticaly created If you select "Perform build setup" in OWLMaker, and all is well, it should be. The make file should call the command script "source/update_version_header.bat". See target ... [More] "SetupBuild" in "bc.mak" and target "Setup" in "vc.mak". Make sure SubWCRev is in your system environment variable PATH. Also, it looks like there is no V632_07 tag in the repository Thanks for alerting me. I will create it ASAP. [Less]
