Topic Unknown error when compiling keyboard

Hello,

I use Keyman Developer 6.0.164.0 with Windows XP SP2. When I try to compile my keyboard, I get this error:

-----------

I don't get any error when I try to compile any other keyboard (one of the sample or the SIL IPA Unicode keyboard). So there should be nothing fundamentally wrong with my installation of Keyman Developer.

I only found that in Options/Character Map I cannot rebuild the Character Database. When I downloaded MDAC 2.5 SP3 as recommended, it won't install. It says that "MDAC 2.8 RTM is incompatible with this version of Windows. All of its features are currently part of Windows."

Maybe there is someting bad with my source code, here it is for you to check:

Thank you for your answer.

The issue is with the length of the store 'klapky'. In version 6.0 of the compiler, it is limited to 255 characters per store. Each virtual key takes 4 bytes, so this store is about 400 bytes as it stands.

The easiest solution is to break the store down into multiple stores.

Version 7.0 does not have this limitation in store length.

When checking the issue, I noted a couple of issues with the keyboard (which you would no doubt have picked up if the compiler wasn't crashing!):

1. The klapky and znaky stores are different lengths, which is a problem for

:

+ any(klapky) > index(znaky,1)

2. Each of the deadkey rules such as

:

dk(circumflex) + any(circumflexable) > index(circumflexed,1)

needs to change the index to

:

index(circumflexed,2)

to match the index up to the any on the left hand side of the rule.

Hi Marc,

thank you for your reply and your suggestrions. I have corrected the keyboard and it works.

Best regards,
