Hi Niall,

Thanks for your mail. I won't have time to look into this until the second week of May.

Maybe someone else working on the VW Moose can take a look at that?

Cheers, Doru

Dear Tudor, Philipp et al, we are approaching code freeze in the current VW release (after which there will be a period of RC testing and the release will be out in the second half of the year). We're also interested in using Moose to analyse the VW build. We would therefore welcome a version of Moose usable in already-released 7.7 (and in our latest builds, but I suspect a 7.7-compatible Moose version will run in our latest as well).

The current latest version is loaded by MooseConfig 1.28 in the SCG repository, which dates from 2008. It loads OK but with 33 Undeclareds, some of which I'm sure just indicate prereqs needing added to the config. The main Moose tool then fails to open looking for an icon selector (#horizontalDistribution20x20 missing from the ToolbarIconLibrary, and the coverage tool is also looking for a subspec) that may indicate a prereq (or might be a postLoad) required.

I expect you could fix these things much more quickly than I, so that the latest VW Moose runs in 7.7. I'd be grateful if you would have a look at it. Meanwhile I will get you added to the VWDEV program so you can see our latest builds, but I suspect that if you fix whatever (probably trivial) stuff is needed to map from working in VW7.6 to working in VW7.7 that will solve the problem.

(If you find you need any explanation on 7.6-to-7.7 changes that affect Moose' running, please post in VWNC and I or others can help.)

    Thanking you in advance
       Niall Ross
