Hi People,

Is this true, Cava Packager doesn't work under Linux?

I'm not sure I believe this. Johan, are you using it under Linux?

Any feedback would be welcome.

Steve

You bet.

IIRC, Octavian is blind and uses screen reading tools that require a
command line interface. He cannot use CP because it only has a GUI to
set up the project.

Once set up, CP can be run from the command line.

Ok, sorry for the false alarm.

Still got the "Unrecognized character \x1F; marked by <-- HERE after <--
HERE near column 1 " problem, though.

I'll chase it down.

I had this happen a couple times the only way I was able to fix it was to start a new project and re-setup things when building my package.

Isn't this a typical symptom of a native executable being fed to Perl as
a script?
