List of required dependencies

Trond · Post by **Trond** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 9:50 pm

If you find PureBasic has some dependencies not mentioned in the readme, post them here so other people can benefit from it.

The readme file says:
- gcc (not needed actually)
- GTK+ 1.2 and/or GTK+ 2.0 devel (libgtk2.0-dev) (only required for GUI programs)
- SDL 1.2 devel (required for multimedia programs and games)

Also you require:
ld (from binutils)
libc6-dev
libiodbc (for databases)
libxine-dev (for movie library)
libgtkembedmoz.so (for WebGadget)
libxxf86vm-dev (for OpenGL subsystem)

Debian users can use this command to install the dependencies easily:
apt-get install gcc libgtk2.0-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsdl1.2debian libsdl1.2debian-all libc6

Also require libiodbc
(for Database only)

don't forget libxine-dev .... or to simplify the process, install the following deb-package:
http://home.arcor.de/x-linux/pure/pbenv ... 0-i386.deb

it will resolve all dependencies and installs a very small script (bash) in /usr/bin to start purebasic easily... (sets all needed environment vars) assuming your PB-folder resides in your home directory.... simply type start_pb.sh in a shell....

I get an error saying wrong architecture. I'm running Ubuntu 7.04 64.

it's build on a 32bit system.... :roll: havn't a 64 biit system running atm... (and I guess PB won't work on 64 bit.. without a 32bit environment)

Why wouldn't PB run on a 64 bit Linux system when it runs fine on 64 bit Windows?

Maybe because Linux is crap?

PB was working on my 64bits linux box, it is probably only the .deb which can't be installed.

Yeah you are right. It is checking for the CPU architecture.
