I know the way to generate the exe file. But sometimes I don't need the output exe file.
pbcompiler.exe will execute a pb source code just like a script. And I think the script like behavior is useful to me.

The document also have the demonstration of the usage, I copy it to here:

Examples ...

The output should be the new path
GetCurrentDirectory() is not for getting the exe's folder. Use ProgramFilename() for that.

Of course you are right, but what is your point?
GetCurrentDirectory() is for getting windows working directory.
To get the correct working directory is very important for ...

I am sure it is a bug!!
Please make sure you did all step what I said.
(compile with/without /commented switch, and copy to different path before running)
You will know what's wrong.

PS. this bug only apper when you compile the source without any parameter.
pbcompiler.exe test.pb /exe 1.exe => OK ...

Thanks fryquez, I will add these fix for PB 5.5 in next release.
These code were developed under PB5.4, so some constant conflict.

This bug appears in PB 5.4~5.5, both x86/x64 version.

Here is a very simple test code:

MessageRequester("", GetCurrentDirectory())


Ok, compile it by "pbcompiler test.pb", copy the exe file to another path and then run it.
The output should be the new path, however, it shows the path of source ...

Thanks, looks interesting and might be used to greatly power-up Purebasic as language for simple scripts on Windows.
Going to test it when will be matching case.

PS. Did you ported whole AutoIt? And what those .obj files doing?

Not yet whole AutoIt, but almost.
The obj files contain the ...

I like to write library as include file (*.pbi) rather than binary library file.
So I need a way to ensure some resources will be deleted correctly before program end.

Every program language can add on_exit() procedure after main part, but they still have "atexit" feature.
This means it is ...

My new project needs atexit() function, but purebasic don't have it.
Here is my way to resolve this problem: using inline asm and FASM macro directive.


Declare AtExitHandler()
Global NewList atexit_list.i()
Global exit_code.i, *exit_handler = @AtExitHandler()

Procedure AtExit(*callback ...

Debug PureHash_MD5Fingerprint("Test", 4)

H = PureHash_ExamineMD5Fingerprint()
PureHash_NextMD5Fingerprint(H ...

In fact, there still one solution to use IImgCtx to decode PNG file in the memory. But I have no time to test the idea for now, maybe later.

That looks like you don't have a stable install of the beta. This can happen if old libs get mixed in somehow, perhaps because of not installing to a clean empty folder. Dunno about the error you're getting but believe me, it works, I've been using it for the better part of a year without problems ...

This plugin is similar to El_Choni's EC_ImagePluginOLE. But it also support PNG format, and can use CatchImage() to read image in the exe resource. (Testing under PureBasic 3.94.)

To use this plugin, copy wxCmmImgPlugin to UserLibraries folder, and add the following line in your program ...
