The self-modifying code section could not be made writeable

Post by timmie »

It looks like 2.0.47i (the version I have) won't run under Win95/98/ME because it can't make a section of the code writeable. I'm not sure why that is since there's no mention of PAGE_EXECUTE_WRITECOPY not being supported in those OS's on MSDN, but PAGE_WRITECOPY is apparently not supported.

It's probably just you, since I have Win98 and 47i runs perfectly.

When I went to run the new ZDoomGL(To test it(Hey, That makes me a beta tester :D )), I got this error:
ZDOOM Fatal Error: The self-modifying code section code not be made writeable.

I guess it all depends on system settings, then. Darn.

no, there's different versions of 47i floating around. The one I have supports the interchangeable textures/patches/flats stuff (which is related to the self-modifying code).

Anyway, I changed it to PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE (from PAGE_EXECUTE_WRITECOPY) as mentioned in Randy's comments for that and it seems to work ok now.

Actually, I sent you a patch for "2.0.47j". Yeah, i and j look similar so maybe you didn't notice.

I still somewhere have the 2.0.47j. A bit patched to kill some compilation
errors on Linux, but still broken.
