what is the path of PUREBASIC_HOME ?

If I run the command line compiler I get the error "Can't load OS libraries, please re-install PureBasic."

What is the right path off the PUREBASIC_HOME variable?

I found ou,t since sierra, you must define the $PUREBASIC_HOME in a startup.plist file and put it into the ~/LaunchAgents

Alternative you can defined in the same line as you open the pbcompiler

Code: Select all

PUREBASIC_HOME=/Applications/PB/PureBasic_546_x64.app/Contents/Resources pbcompiler -e myTestApp.app -d -o PB_Editor_CreateExecutable=1 Test_PB.pb

Thanks for this helpful tip, I ran into this problem tonight!

(If you're calling pbcompiler via RunProgram(), just prepare it by SetEnvironmentVariable("PUREBASIC_HOME", ...) with the pbcompiler's corresponding /Resources/ path)

Marc56us, is your advice for Linux installation? This was a MacOS thread, but similar error and solution.
