XRoar and file stderr.txt

Post by pser1 »

Hi Ciaran,
I see that XRoar is not creating/updating the file stderr.txt as it did in previous versions
In that file I could find the starting up files it had used ... to track errors.
I work with Window$, and I have not found this filename in my harddisk.
Has it changed the name? or is there any way of getting that 'old' info?

thanks beforehand
cheers

Hello,
I have checked the date of that file ...
The last time it was modified was in ... August, 3rd, 2015

I am using right now "XRoar v0.33.1-2015-33312 w64" and
testing older versions, going backwards, I have found the first that updates this file
to be this one:
XRoar v0.33.1-2015-23382 w64
maybe this could help ...

cheers

Oh, that was an artifact of SDL that got fixed with SDL2 (I think stderr now goes to the console like it should). Didn't think anyone would miss it! I'll see about an option...

Hello Ciaran,
This is what the user sees (in windows) when starting a bat file that calls xroar:

The info that got written to the stderr file was different, for instance
