[racket] raco exe difficutly with Release 5.3.1 & stateless webserver

Hawai,

Thank you for the response, but neither of your suggestions fixed the identified problem.

 If you obtained different results via testing, please share.

Subsequent to my post, I deinstalled Racket version 5.3.1 and reinstalled v 5.3, and confirmed that the problem identified in my post no longer occurred.

Based on this, I would assert the issue is specific to 5.3.1 vs 5.3 compilation behavior.

  Hi,


  You should add function do-not-return at the end of the file. 

  Or use command plt-web-server

    Hello,

    I encountered difficulty compiling a #lang web server application after upgrading to v.5.3.1 from v5.3 last night. O/S is WinXP service pack 3

    The executable would compile into an .exe file.

    But when run,  a console window would briefly open then close.

    The program did not execute.

    I was able to reproduce the bad behavior with the following minimal source code, and the following raco script, which appear below.


    I further note that the minimal program can be successfully run in DrRacket, and can be compiled and run *without* encountering the problem by adding the -l launcher flag to the raco script. Successful execution results in a browser window opening with 'hello world' appearing in the loaded document.

    Any guidance would be sincerely appreciated.

    Thanks

    Zack
