PureBasic Forums - English

@flashbob:


Btw.: Apart from that, any code posted by one in the forum can be used by others. Otherwise you wouldn't publish it. This is also part of the terms and conditions in most dev forums...


That's an interesting point, and it's true that some developer communities enforce a default ...

Added a License.txt file


Thanks @infratec!


You're basically right, but in this case I don't really understand the licensing confusion. The LibCurl library (dll) cannot be licensed again because it is an external open source project and a license already exists.


@flashbob, that license ...

Have you really in each of your files a copyright text :?:

If I follow you, I have to copy the MIT text in each of the files.

How can you violate a license when there is none?

Maybe Fred should add in the impressum that each code provided by a user is MIT licensed.

I will add a feature ...

You don't have to do that, it's enough to have a LICENSE (or COPYING) file in the project, somewhere. It's good practice to at least add the Copyright statement in ...

Hi @infratec, thanks for your amazing work and dedication.

I can't find any license notice in the main source file nor in this thread, so I was wondering whether you're willing to add a license to your libcurl.pbi project — the MIT License would be perfect, and in line with the cURL license, which ...

Hi, I was wondering what you would use LUA for with PureBasic?


The idea of using a scripting language along with a binary program is generally to allow users to customize or extend the program via external file, which is why video games (for example) often rely on a scripting language to ...

The debugger indeed displays inconsistent output between x86 and x64 versions (tested with PB 5.73), but only when attempting to carry out the bitwise operation within the Debug command, i.e.:

Debug l & $ffffffff

If instead you create a new variable to hold the manipulated result, the output is ...

The version included with PB right now doesn't require the DLL when compiled, because it's included as an internal library from source code.

I believe it does require the DLL, because building Scintilla as a static library has always been problematic under Windows.

If the program is running as ...

Bummer indeed. At some point, avoiding additional runtime dependencies creates bigger problems. Using an external scintilla dll also becomes a runtime dependency.

Yes, the core PB philosophy of creating binaries that don't require end users to install third party components (e.g. VS runtimes, and ...

An update to the newer (or at least latest 3.x) of Scintilla would be good. A lot of stuff has been fixed and some useful things added.

I believe that the Scintilla component was indeed updated since this post was created, but it couldn't be updated to the latest version (in the v3 range) due to ...

Actually, firace, I think that if you were to release SWV as an open source project (e.g. on GitHub) that people could use freely for non commercial project, but pay to be able to use it for commercial ones, you might find the strategy more beneficial (this is what Sciter does, for example).

1. It ...

Yes this is the correct file: SWV_Demo1_native_x86.zip
Check if the size of the ZIP file is 90344 bytes. If not, please clear your browser cache and try to download it again.

I've downloaded it again using a different browser and now it works — you were right, I was getting a cached version, and ...

I have just updated the demo and it should work on Windows 10. Could you try it again? (Note that currently, the DLL is time-limited.)

I've downloaded it again, same result: I get to see the "limited demo" message, then it crashes.

Is the download link correct? I'm downloading the SWV_Demo1 ...

Demo Not Working on Win 10

I've downloaded the Demo 2 and and tried it under Win10: the exe launches, hangs for a short while and then silently crashes.

Tried recompiling form source using PB 5.72 32-bit: same result. Probably the issue is with the DLL itself.

Issues with DLLs that suddenly ...

I use JAWS screen reader, so perhaps it's doing something to the ide that it doesn't like?

Btw, it would be very nice if one of the secondary compilers could be set as default, so if I use e.g., 32 bit ide and wish to compile most of my programs with the 64 bit compiler, that there was a way to ...
