Audacity Forum

Hi all,

I'm running the portable version of audacity 1.3.12 on Windows XP. It comes with a the mod-script-pipe.dll in the 'modules' subdir. When I try to connect to the pipe server via the perl test script, it says 'Could not open \.pipeToSrvPipe'. So it seems that the dll isn't loaded by audacity (there is nothing in the log, but from the sourcecode one could see that there should be a 'scripting loaded' window when audacity starts and loads the dll successfully).

Has anybody here access to an audacity 1.3.12 windows version with working scripting support?

If you mean Audacity Portable it's a completely different project from Audacity - based on our code, but they modify Audacity as they see fit.

That problem with having to dismiss the modules window before Audacity starts was fixed a long time ago.

If you get the response you quote then probably the mod-script-pipe.dll included doesn't match properly with the Audacity version. The Audacity executable and the "modules" directory have to be built at the same time. The Windows 2000 and later Nightly Build seems to respond to the pipe-test.pl script provided in the source code.

If you have any comments on the scripting module they would probably be best posted on audacity-devel.
