compiling the PureBasic IDE on Linux

[#NULL]

I'm trying to compile the PureBasic IDE on Ubuntu 18.04 x64. I copied Window-x64.cmd to Linux.sh and modified it but I don't know what gcc flags etc could be used so I get errors from g++. This is what I did so far:

Anybody knows what PB_GCC_ANSI and PB_OPT_SPEED could look like? I tried gcc instead of g++, and -ansi.
These are the flags used on windows:

With the new version that Fred committed I created a file Linux-x64.sh from the OSX-x64.bash.
PUREBASIC_HOME is a [copy of a] pb installation. In there the IDE binary (compilers/purebasic) will be replaced during am IDE make (as well as the SilkTheme.zip). I removed the '/sw/bin/:' part from PATH because I think that's Mac specific. And I changed the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to LD_LIBRARY_PATH (not sure if that is used though).

Code: Select all

export PUREBASIC_HOME="/home/user/purebasic_570_lts_COPY"

export PB_PROCESSOR=X64

# set one of those (or none to default to gtk3)
#export PB_ENABLE_QT=1
export PB_ENABLE_GTK2=1

echo "Setting up purebasic basic environment $PB_PROCESSOR..."

export PB_LIBRARIES="$PWD/Libraries"
export PB_BUILDTARGET="$PWD/Build/x64"

export PATH="$PUREBASIC_HOME/compilers:$PUREBASIC_HOME/sdk/pureunit:$PATH"

# For OGRE
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PUREBASIC_HOME/compilers:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

mkdir -p Build/x64

. $PB_LIBRARIES/EnvironmentVariables.bash LINUX

I can now load this file and make the IDE:

Code: Select all

. ./Linux-x64.sh
cd PureBasicIDE/
make

If you now use the 'purebasic' command directly, it will open the IDE project with the actual IDE program that has just been compiled. So if you want to open the code in another version you might change PUREBASIC_HOME or open it another way.

Code: Select all

purebasic "PureBasic IDE.pbp"

When opened the project go to Compiler Options > Constants.
Change #BUILD_DIRECTORY to your build directory + ide/

Code: Select all

#BUILD_DIRECTORY=/home/user/Desktop/pb_github/purebasic/Build/x64/ide/

(use 'Set' button to save!)
Change #PureBasicPath to a pb installation (I just used the same as in the make config)

Code: Select all

#PureBasicPath=/home/user/purebasic_570_lts_COPY

In Compiler Options enter Subsystem 'gtk2'.
Now I can compile/run without the debugger. (It crashes here with debugger, both the compiling and the compiled IDE instance).

[Fred]

Thanks for the update, glad you successfully compiled it ! Will add this script to the repo.

[#NULL]

Sounds good
Do you know if #PureBasicPath (from Compiler Options > Constants) is actually used? I can find only this:

Code: Select all

PureBasicIDE/PureBasic IDE.pbp:366:        <constant value="#PureBasicPath=/home/user/purebasic_570_lts_COPY" enable="1"/>
BUILD.txt:51:- The #PureBasicPath constant must point to a full PureBasic installation.

There are uses of PureBasicPath$, but not the constant.

Code: Select all

[user]~/Desktop/pb_github/purebasic>grep -HIrniE 'PureBasicPath[^$]'
PureBasicIDE/MacMisc.pb:152:  ;Debug "PureBasicPath: "+PureBasicPath$
PureBasicIDE/PureBasic IDE.pbp:366:        <constant value="#PureBasicPath=/home/user/purebasic_570_lts_COPY" enable="1"/>
PureBasicIDE/LinuxMisc.pb:122:  ;Debug "PureBasicPath: "+PureBasicPath$
BUILD.txt:51:- The #PureBasicPath constant must point to a full PureBasic installation.
Libraries/Debugger/DebuggerInternal.h:142:extern char  PB_DEBUGGER_PureBasicPath;

[Fred]

Actually the code I did to handle this constant wasn't commited. I will put it again.

Someone in the german forum was able to make the IDE with gtk2 but then can't start it because there are gtk2 and gtk3 symbols linked in purebasic:

Code: Select all

(purebasic:10506): Gtk-ERROR **: 10:50:03.669: GTK+ 2.x symbols detected. Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process is not supported

Any idea how this can happen?

[idle]

I got the same error, can't see where it's coming from ?

(purebasic:24966): Gtk-ERROR **: 20:37:27.685: GTK+ 2.x symbols detected. Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process is not supported
