PureBasic Forums - English

I hope this isn't construed as hijacking the thread, but with essentially the same end-goal in mind ... I wonder if an official Snap (or Flatpak) package would be a viable way to distribute the Purebasic IDE and compiler?

... Up and running, thanks for the help: last time I was doing much of anything with PB, I was doing it on Windows, and that was quite some time ago.

I'm probably in a minority here (also, not too sure how this would work with licensing in the sense of only making it available to those who have ...

P.S.
The package libgome-2.0 is obsoleted and not needed!

Ah, ok. I assumed it was needed, since the check install script reports it as a problem. Thank you for looking, will give it another blast!

Those 2 packages are not available for Ubuntu 22.04 according to packages ...

Use only LTS version of Ubuntu, and build PureBasic on the 2 last LTS. It would be 18.04 LTS and 20.04 LTS.

Sounds good to me.

Note: I tend to use Ubuntu derivatives and, for my own purposes, I have no problem with 32bit being dropped.

Thank you!

Getting back into using PureBasic after a long absence, and in the intervening period I seem to have forgotten how to use the IDE effectively ;-)

Now, it so happens I'm building a set of command line tools...and I'm noting that just because that hopefully explains why I don't just use the existing ...

With Ubuntu derivatives including Mint, I can't say I've found it particularly difficult (the output from checkinstall.sh makes it pretty easy, really) but I have no particular experience of Arch, etc and you're right - it could always be made easier. Those options do look pretty attractive (could ...

SSL/TLS support for PB's Network library.

+1

Let's Encrypt and changes in Google Chrome and other browsers are contributing to an increase in the number of sites served over HTTPS. Consuming data from these sources/interacting with APIs served over secure protocols is really critical for many ...

There are some pot plants that are very easy to grow (very hard to kill!), inexpensive, hardly need any TLC, and don't need much light or water ... so what's your excuse for not having one (or a few!) in your immediate work area!?!?

Yet somehow I always do manage to kill them

Right now PB's FastCGI implementation supports threading, which is great. I'm wondering though - if this is viable - if support for handling multiple requests 'concurrently' without creating a new thread per request could be added?

Semi pseudo-code:


Procedure AddToResponseQueue(fastCgiHandle.l ...

So it sounds like you have written a command line app, but wish to create a desktop/launcher icon for it that will automatically open this app in the terminal. If so, what I would do in this situation (Ubuntu) is create a .desktop file and include an entry along the following lines:

Name=My App ...

Bit late, but thank you :-)

- Added: HTTPS and simple auth support for ReceiveHTTPFile() and GetHTTPHeaders()
- Added: Auto redirect support for ReceiveHTTPFile() and ReceiveHTTPMemory()
- Added: ASynchronous mode for ReceiveHTTPFile() and ReceiveHTTPMemory()
- Added: HTTPProgress(), AbortHTTP ...

It would take some work (by some keen person somewhere...!) but VS Code is very nice. Getting PB integration and even adding it to the extension marketplace could be a great move.

Hey @tj1010,

That $60/year package is pretty good comparatively speaking. I don't know what they allow though. For game back-ends you need sockets or long-polling and the ability to, for example, put packages like GTK on Ubuntu so you can build and run servers with panels, or maybe SSL updates ...
