red / red

Red is a next-generation programming language strongly inspired by Rebol, but with a broader field of usage thanks to its native-code compiler, from system programming to high-level scripting and cross-platform reactive GUI, while providing modern support for concurrency, all in a zero-install, zero-config, single ~1MB file!

WindowsXP compile target does not work for any source: error in draw-gdi.reds, in function: exec/gui/draw-begin

Describe the bug
The WindowsXP target of redc does not work for any source.

any source file will give this error:

Target: WindowsXP
 
Compiling to native code...
*** Compilation Error: left and right argument must be of same type for: <>
*** left: float32!, right: integer!
*** in file: %/C/<winpath>/<user>/<working_dir>/modules/view/backends/windows/draw-gdi.reds
*** in function: exec/gui/draw-begin
*** at line: 651
*** near: [<> dpi-factor 100 [
        ratio: (as float32! dpi-factor) / (as float32! 100.0)
        GdipScaleWorldTransform graphics ratio ratio 0
        ctx/scale-ratio: ratio
    ]]

To reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. calculator example (this is the example I used but the error is the same for any source file).
  2. compile with redc -r -t WindowsXP calculator.red

Expected behavior
Compiles an XP compatible binary in the view mode, that does not use the unsupported Windows GetGestureInfo API.

Platform version
Tested on Windows 10 and Windows XP compilation hosts.

Also, the red REPL seems to be compiled for the Windows target that uses Windows 7+ gesture APIs, which means the binary doesn't load even though it technically would work on XP:
redview_xp_getgestureinfo

it would make more sense for the red REPL to be compiled with a WindowsXP target (once this bug is fixed), given that the system is already 32-bit only anyway.
