I did an extremely overdue update on my Ubuntu last night from around 8.0x up to 10.04. (Very rarely use Linux & my old version had a problem with updates when something broke a few years back, which I never bothered to really try & fix)
Once this was done PB would no longer start which was still v4.0, so after some sniffing around adding / reinstalling various lib files, running a package in the sticky above here I ended up updating PB to the latest 4.6 & all of a sudden my IDE is working again.
Problem is now that the compiler crashes 100% as in a simple messagerequester will crash the compiler.
Anybody have any ideas what i might have missing to get it running again?
compiler crashing
Re: compiler crashing
no idea. Have you tried to compile something from the terminal, maybe that will spill the beans!
Windows 11, Manjaro, Raspberry Pi OS
Re: compiler crashing
Fixed.
The problem was I using the purbasic directory named as purebasic(3)
The (3) part of the directory name was causing a token error
All good now.
Edit: I have had a good play around with my updated Ubuntu now with PB 4.6 running a few of my Windows based codes such as a couple of network samples, etc & I must say things seem to be so much smoother now than they were in the past. Apart from a couple of small things such as missing color constants,(#Red,#Green,#Blue, etc) everything just works... Don't know whether it is Ubuntu maturing or PB maturing, but it is a really pleasant surprise to find everything working so well now.
Even better to know that a lot of what I am writing will generally x compile so long as I can remember to try & keep the Win API out of it as much as possible.
