Packages for PureBasic on UbuntuMate

Post by Blades »

Trouble with PureBasic in Ubuntu MATE.
In an earlier post “mk-soft” gave me a set of packages to install. These solved some of my problems but they included libgnomeprintui2.2-dev and libxine-dev under a heading “Obsolete” and I cannot find them using “locate” in Terminal.

In a program using OpenScreen( )
StartDrawing(ScreenOutput())
Line(x,y, ) works
DrawText( ) Works
StartDrawing(PrinterOutput())
Line(x,y, ) does not work
DrawText( ) does not work

In a program using OpenWindowedScreen( )
StartDrawing(WindowOutput())
Line(x,y, ) works
DrawText( ) does not work
StartDrawing(PrinterOutput)
Line(x,y, ) does not work
DrawText( ) does not work

libgnomeprintui2.2-dev and libxine-dev are no longer used by PB.

Have a look at the example Printer from Examples of PB.
Here it goes with Ubuntu (Gnome Desktop v18.10)
My Projects ThreadToGUI / OOP-BaseClass / EventDesigner V3
PB v3.30 / v5.75 - OS Mac Mini OSX 10.xx - VM Window Pro / Linux Ubuntu

From Blades
Thank you "mk-soft" for your answer to my poste " Packages for Pure Basic on UBUNTUMATE" I cannot find the PB examples you refer to and still cannot find the packages to make the printer work.
