PureBasic Forums - English

While trying to compile a pb4 shell proggy on my Amiga, I encountered that some of the basic data types that work with PC version 4.5 are not recognized by Amiga version 4.0 - so do those listed in the guide, e.g. Define reisTota.ul fails, though mentioned in the manual.

Also I can't find any ...

Thanks, Fred - that link gives me something to work on and think about. Still a bit confused, but steadily trying things out.
Is it really neccessary to open lexilla.dll in order to get the amount of available lexers or ...

as a (rather) newbe regarding pb scintilla things I didn't even know about those undocumented features.
Trying to learn from the examples shown in this thread, but don't have libs like scilexer.dll or lexilla.dll. Can someone please point me to where to get them?

Thanks!

Hello people,

I'd appreciate some help in understanding how to use scintilla in PB 6.10 LTS. I'm used to use QScintilla at a beginner's level in Qt5/C++, but have no experience with Scintilla/PureBasic so far. If I understood it correctly, Scintilla is now linked in statically and so InitScintilla ...

I know StringVar.s and StringVar$ are two different things - but what makes them different?
What's the deeper sense of having two different types for string variables and when to use which one?

Kind regards,

Micha B.

Amiga version is not supported anymore, so if you encounter something weird, you're on your own. All the sources for the libs has been opensourced, so if you want to mess with it, you can, but for the compiler, it's not possible.


But it would be possible for me to take the Amiga PB4 Editor ...

Thanks for the link! That's BTN anyway. Still searching for a hardcopy, anyway.

Yes, it's similar but not compatible because Amiga version has been frozen a while ago. You should be able to learn from the examples and the help I guess.


Yeah, I guess I can manage that.
BTW - "Debug" doesn't put out anything on Amiga (source compiled from command line, since the pb editor ...

Hi fellows,

I'm urgently searching those two book titles on PB coding:


1. "Programming 2D Scrolling Games" by John P. Logsdon


2. "3D-Grafik und Animation mit PureBasic" by Andreas Groß


I know, they aren't pretty recent - but I want to have them anyway. All web links for purchasing them ...

I'm playing around with compatibility of PB 4 on Amiga and PC, using the PB4 newby's book "A Beginner's Guide" as a reference. There seem to be some differences. What I found up until now:
- NewMap doesn't exist on Amiga
- Mid() on PC, but Mid$() on Amiga
- PrintN needs braces on Amiga, but not on ...

Thanks!

I just asked, because I couldn't imagine that someone only registers here to ask a question, where the answer is pretty clearly explained in the manual.
We are all a little sensitive here, since we had a few new users in the past who where suspected to be (pretty clever) A.I. bots.


no offend ...

Is that a serious question?

Just put your pw$ where it belongs to.

yes, that was indeed a serious ...

Hi all,

I'm working on a tool that generates readme files for Aminet (that's a Amiga file directory server farm, to those who don't know) and then loads them up together with a corresponding Archive. My development plattform is PureBasic v6.01 LTS on Windows 10 ...
