Looks like I might have spoken too soon. After one successful compile, now RB is crashing again upon building for Mac (Mach-O and PEF).

I'll try the export-import XML bit again here in a little while, but I'd sure hate to think this is what I'll have to do every time I'm ready to release a new version.

Hi Tomis:

Thanks very much for the suggestion to export and re-import via XML. For whatever reason, that seemed to work. Kinda odd that it'd continue to compile just fine for Windows, but wouldn't compile for Mac UNTIL I put everything in a new project file...

Regards,
Ed

Well the obvious answer is; a bug in the compiler.

You could try viewing the crash report to give you a clue as to what it is crashing on. Personally I find MacOS X's crash report more useful when debugging than Window XP's, but I'm not an expert
on Windows in any case.

I have seen the compiler do weird things if you have a "goto HERE" that doesn't match up with any
"here:" line. ( I'm using "here" as an example.)

If the app isn't too complex you could try commenting out major chunks until it compiles. Process
of elimination.

It may be crashing due to a corrupted project file. Perhaps you could try exporting the project to
XML and re-importing? I've seen this fix corruption problems sometimes.

Good luck and let us know when you figure it out!
