Cool, I made the mistake of compiling a gui version that "just worked" switching between versions (but that was using RHL v9).
I then made the assumption terminal (console) apps would just work without requiring any external library's (it was just one line printN("hello world") )

I have a few ...

This is probably my bad, I compiled on Ubuntu 20.04 and ran on rocky Linux 8.5 via putty.
I suspect it's a versioning issue.

Thanks for the reply!

Is there a way to compile with out needing GLIBC_2.34 so the console apps will run purely in terminal without needing the GUI present, you know like running the app in init 3

Perfect, That works.
I did discover that APFS formatted drives just don't support Hardlinking directories but Mac OS Extended drives seem to work fine I've (rather poorly) added unlink for the procedure i wanted.

Procedure hlink(Source$,Target$) ; pass blank target to unlink
Protected r1, *arg1 ...

Ok I've just decided to just hardlink each file individually by calling the terminal ln command, this will get me want i need without needing to elevate privileges.

So i found this on-line is there an easy way to do this in PB, the terminal command "ln" won't do it as you can only symbolic link directories

#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
if (argc != 3) {
fprintf(stderr,"Use: hlink <src_dir> <target_dir>\n ...

its not pretty but it works:

Procedure FindPath(Directory$,File$,*mem,Poz)

If ExamineDirectory(Poz, Directory$, "*.*") And PeekS(*mem)=""
While NextDirectoryEntry(Poz)
If DirectoryEntryType(Poz)=#PB_DirectoryEntry_File
If UCase(DirectoryEntryName(Poz))=UCase(file$)
PokeS(*mem,Left ...

I can't believeI it! was using chr(32)! so I had been adding a space instead of speachmarks

Thanks spacebuddy, been using ascii for over 20 years since my ZX and I made such a simple mistake

Hmmmm, I'm sure I tried that first, coming from a windows enviroment where you need to do that to encapsulate spaces, would i still need to have the "/ " in there as well?
Ie "users\images\desktop\this/ folder"
Ps I'm programming on a work computer as i don't own a Mac myself so cant test it till ...

I had a quick look but couldn't find a suitable answer on the forums...
When ever I run the cp command via runprogram using the following code it runs correctly, but only if i dont have any spaces in what i'm copying:
from$=OpenFileRequester("Select file","","",1)
too$=PathRequester("choose dest ...

Admittedly you are right I often don't..... Sometime i just read the first few, decide what i think is going on and reply.

just out of curiosity name one program that cannot be cracked, I would bet with in less than a couple of minutes I could find a cracked version someware on the net. may be a revision down from the latest, but often you'll find a lot of the "quick" releases are often just to stop the crackers patched ...

This is so funny, I've enjoyed reading it :lol:
anyway cant think of any software that is uncrakable ?!?
And as written earlier on in this thread fred seems to have got it right. Purebasic was the first program I ever purchased, got it free as a trial on a computer mag, used it, loved it bought it ...

Now, I don't know if this is legit or not but if it is its an awesome site for It and programming resources (e-books), sure nothing specific to PB but some really handy stuff none the less any way its here: REMOVED LINK SORRY Dont know hot to remove thread :?
Oh yeah I'm shearing this here because ...

I would say no, not the way you doing it according to this snippet I found on the interweb:
Of the predefined schemes listed (http, ftp, news, nntp, telnet, gopher
wais, mailto, file, prospero), only ftp: and telnet: URLs use the login
form, which allows for a password. http: uses only hostport.
