Thanks for these examples!

To my current understanding, Cairo may also use OpenGL "under the hood" - am I right?

I've looked at Cairo and am quite impressed! I think, I'll go for that library - it's both powerful and easy to use

That's an interesting idea (Cairo)

Thanks for the hint!

Hello!

This might be a dumb question (and should already have been answered somewhere else in this forum - but I could not find it):

To my understanding, the "2D Drawing" functions do not generically support translation/scaling/rotation of graphics contexts - am I right? There are some special ...

Hello again!

I might have found a workaround (which let's me use PB again, at least):

- configure two tools for the tools panel, at least (I chose "Procedure Browser" and "ASCII Table")
- after having used the "Procedure Browser" (e.g. by clicking on a procedure's name) immediately switch to the ...

Hello!

I just verified that I am using the latested version of PB (i.e. 4.40 beta 3).

Before installing it, I manually removed the old PureBasic folder to wipe out any previous installation.

The problem still appears...

Hello!

From time to time I run into a really annyoing editor behaviour: whenever I press Return or try to position the mouse within the editor, it jumps to a fixed location within the code, e.g. the procedure I selected earlier in the "Procedures" list.

This behaviour is *really* annyoing! Does ...

By the way,

I solved my original problem:

if you want to use PB to build a "bundle" which is then used in other programs, please use ProcedureCDLL (mind the *C*!) rather than ProcedureDLL!

I now know again why I hate C and C++...

Hmmm,

is this a 32-bit vs. 64-bit issue? I did not yet have a chance to get my hands on a Mac with Snow-Leopard, but my MacBook Pro with Leopard claims to be a 32-bit machine ("uname -a" yields something with "i386" only)

This sounds strange as crash reports already mention 64-bit addresses - but ...

Hello!

I've just created a small .so file which I would like to use in another environment. Currently, that environment crashes after loading my library - presumably because it's always difficult to get all the pointer stuff right.

Is there a possibility to "debug" a .so library which was built ...

Hmmm,

the library now seems to be loaded! Believe it or not, it seems that it is still not advisable to have spaces in a folder path! Even on a Macintosh (well, it's a UNIX underneath)

I found the problem because PB wasn't able to load the original .so after moving that into a folder with a space ...

Just as a remark:

• PB is able to load the original .so file
• PB is also able to load the .so file after it has been "bundled" with the beforementioned Gnu libtool script (when one properly points into the bundle's subdirectory)

But I can't load the bundle as a whole...

Hello!

It's great to see that PB is now able to create shared object (.so) files under MacOS X - but how does one create complete "bundles" (for what is called "loadable modules") under MacOS X?

I've already tried a script that seems to come with the Gnu libtool: the result looked like a .bundle ...

...but neither .dylibs nor .so's (I am not so sure about .so's, but generation of .dylibs is broken right now) Fred once wrote: "...dylib on OS X doesn't work for now. It's planned for 4.40." (see http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=32890&highlight=)

And one of the outstanding features ...

Despite its flaws, PB is getting better with every release - especially when it comes to portability across platforms. In particular, 4.30 was a real milestone in that area!

Now, I'm looking forward to 4.40 with the ability to produce DLLs, .so's and DyLibs - that would be another milestone!

Thanks for the immediate response!

I will try the console debugger in the next few days.

Anyway, I did not expect any detailed help but rather general hints (as you actually offered) so I will now try to isolate the error locations - and probably post some more bug reports for MacOS X
