It is definitely not PB. It appears that the file managers (thunar and caja) are misidentifying the executable. It runs fine when started from the command line. Caja says it is a manual, but offers a choice of displaying it or running it. If running it is chosen, it runs.

I am running pb 6.00lts in Fedora linux. I have a program that has compiled and run before, and compiles and runs now. When I make an executable stand alone program however, it generates a program that linux says it is a "manual page" and tries to load it into an editor, rather than execut...

This appears to be a continuing problem. I am running fedora 33 using xfce4. I am building a window and want a colored button. Purebasic 5.73 LTS-(x64) ButtonGadget(41, 975, 30, 125, 40, "Start Distillation",#PB_Button_MultiLine) SetGadgetColor(41, #PB_Gadget_BackColor, $0000FF) ;SetGadget...

I am running PB 5.73 LTS under fedora 33 with no problem PB was installed a few years ago and several versions ago and has been updated repeatedly without problems. My recollection is that there was a file on how to load shared libraries for ubuntu and I followed that. (some library name changes wer...

Thank you for your responses. FYI I am using fedora33 and XFCE4. I wasn't able to run that code as I get this error Line 10: gtk_css_provider_new() is not a function, array, list, map or macro. and I haven't figured it out yet. Still I tried 19 and 18 pixels for y and it made no difference. It looks...

I am working on a program that uses a lot of stringgadgets for input. it seems there are limits for the size of these that appear pretty large. In this line StringGadget(31,300,60,140,20," ") the value of 20 for the height is very large. If I put in 10 or 15 or 0 I get the same gadget size...

I bought purebasic about 10 years ago and have yet to "suck it up". I have read your replies, and they pretty much amount to that. It is a good language. It isn't consistent with BASIC which is my main point. As for it "correctly centering between the monitors, my question was why doe...

You didn't hear me complaining about declaring variables. That change makes lots of sense. It is some of the other idiosyncrasies that seem out of place like the ones I mentioned. I am not against improvements (variable declaration), just changes that don't seem to add much but require the user to r...

Hi, I have been away using freebasic (not its quickbasic compatible form) for a while, and I find that I prefer using it. I think that is because a lot of the basic commands have been changed in purebasic, and the changes feel arbitrary to me. I only bring this up because i am translating some progr...

The only difference between the windows version and the linux version was a font problem. Curiously when I looked at the code, this was the only OS dependent code If #PB_Compiler_OS =2 ;Linux Font1 = LoadFont(#PB_Any, "Arial" ,10 ,#PB_Font_Bold) font2 = LoadFont(#PB_Any, "Arial" ...

Hi guys, I have an astronomy program I am giving away on cloudynights.com. I have a linux version and a windows version, but I don't have a mac so I don't have a mac version. If is send one of you the source code, could I get you to compile it, make an executable and send me the executable by email?...

Thanks for your reply. As there is no quick fix, I will try to locate a libwebkit 3.0 rpm that I can install from an older version. sometimes that works.... I will keep you informed.

I just downloaded and updated purebasic to 5.61 x64. Using checkinstall.sh I am finding that pure is looking for webkitgtk-3.0, but fedora only has webkitgtk-4.0 and its development files available. Is there a reason pure is using the older version, and is there a way for me to get it to use the new...

wow, 79 reads and no replies. Does this mean one cannot access C libraries under linux with pb?

Can someone put a simple concrete example of using a linux C library (any library) using PB. I have never been able to do this though I have tried. I constantly get errors of various kinds, mostly the libraries are not accessed (read). Something simple where you access the library, pull out and us a...
