Re: Can Linux backend be specified for compiled programs?

Thanks for the fast response. I appreciate your help with this.

I don't need to use the opengl graphics and this option would be really helpful. Purebasic is my favourite development language and this would enable me to make use of the new features that you have been adding recently.

Can Linux backend be specified for compiled programs?

I recently posted this question in the general coding section but am moving it here to the Linux section in the hope that someone with a deeper knowledge of Linux can help me.

A few years ago there was some example code on the forum that enabled a program to force the use of the x11 backend when ...

Re: PB v6.xx - Raspberry Resize Window

Is there any possibility of making this hack (GDK_BACKEND=x11) optional?

It breaks fractional scaling for for me when running GTK programs on KDE Plasma 6. I do not use OGRE/OpenGL and it would be nice to have the option of creating GTK programs that run natively on wayland now that many ...

Re: PureBasic 6.03 LTS beta 2 is ready to test !

Thanks for the improvements to the Linux version. I am currently still using a beta of version 6 as this was the last version that allows me to compile GTK apps with the wayland backend. I understand that the x11 backend was forced to fix another issue, but would it be possible to allow a choice ...

Re: PureBasic 6.00 Beta 8 released !

Thank you for the quick response. With both Ubuntu and Fedora defaulting to wayland now, it would be nice if the GTK3 programs created by Purebasic would continue to use the wayland backend by default (as they did in previous beta versions).

Is there a specific setting or library that I can change ...

Re: PureBasic 6.00 Beta 8 released !

Hi, I am really liking the new C backend compiler and all my programs have compiled and run correctly on all of the previous betas.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a design decison but I have noticed that up until beta 8, my compiled Linux GTK3 programs were running under Wayland. However ...
