How do I interpret this Build Error dialog?

[Sean Cole (Pi)]

Hi,
The error panels show the events in reverse order, so last occurrence first.

The first number in each line is the error code and the second is the line
number in the script that failed.
Here's a list of the error codes:
https://livecode.fandom.com/wiki/Error_codes

Going back from line 5 of your error:
353 - THe name of the object it enters (stack "loginLib")
241 - Handler: error in statement , line 236 of stack "LoginLib"
465 - put: error in expression , line 236
118 - Operators &: &: error in left operand , line 236
219 - Function: error in function handler , line 236 (function
getDesktopFolderPath)

So, it's likely a compound problem with lots of things that likely led up
to the fault. There are more 219 and 241 errors and it starts with a 490
(repeat: error in statement). Work your way through the error codes and see
what you find.

All the best
Sean
