observations on setup about aenea HOT 5 OPEN

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback.

Natlink required installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (ONLY 32 BIT VERSION WILL WORK), which isn't in the natlink documentation.

I remember needing this as well. We'll happily accept a PR that updates the setup instructions with a note about this.

I wasted some time trying to test the server when the VM was not running, which causes an error. Start the VM or set the ip in the server config to your ip on your LAN.

I assume you got errors saying that you couldn't bind to IP address of your host machine's vboxnet* interface. For me this interface isn't set up on my host machine until I boot the VM for the first time. You may be able to script having this interface come up automatically using VBoxManage.

Wrappers.py was unable to import everything from dragonfly and so was loading the mock instead, causing an error in the hellow_world_aenea script. The fix was to comment out FormatState (line 48) and Word (87). I don't know yet if this will cause problems later on. My version of dragonfly is 0.6.6b1. Do people think my solution is OK?

I can't speak much about the Apple specific issues you were having. Hopefully another Apple user can chime in there!

Same issue on Ubuntu 16.04. I suspect the latest Dragonfly changed this around.

I'll take a look; should be an easy fix. Can't comment on the mac specific issues unfortunately.

I did a quick search of the dragonfly github and could not find a reference to FormatState. Fortunately commenting out these two does not seem to affect my aenea experience at all.

Thanks for fixing the import issues. I'll have to look into the other suggestions another time.
