I have tried to run Purebasic both on a Mac with Mojave also on a Mac with El Capitan. Both regular systems, Xcode installed, nothing special.

In both systems I can load a source but the menu option (like compile) do nothing. When I select it, then nothing happens. Same for other menu functions.

Anybody that can help met get it running?

Have you install the command line tools?
and
Once also xcode started. There are still some installed at the first start of Xcode.

Terminal
xcode-select --install

The command line tools are installed and also I tried with first starting Xcode. Makes no difference.

Did you download the 64 bit version of PureBasic ?
If not, download the 64 bit version.

I did use the 64 bit version, later I also tried the 32 bit version. Neither works.

Can anybody try to give a helping hand? This is getting very frustrating since I've never encountered a problem like this in y 20+ Mac years.

Maybe it's best to contact Fred.
I'm using Mojave and PB works fine on my Mac so I don't know how to help.
The only other thing I can think of is to try the "Restart Compiler" menu option.

Also running fine here on Mojave, v5.70 LTS. I'm afraid I no longer have an El Capitan installation, just Mojave and High Sierra.

It's probably also worth checking the logs in Console? Keep that open when trying to start PB and see what you get.

The only message in Console pertaining to PureBasic is “LSExceptions shared instance invalidated for timeout.” And I have no idea what this means.

My Mojave is 10.14.4 with all latest updates.

No idea what that eror means either, but it's all helpful for Fred to debug with.

I also tested 5.70LTS on my ageing 2010 MBP running High Sierra - all fine there too, I was able to compile and debug various small programs.


Just on a side note, SpiderBasic 2.21 also works fine on both systems. So it's probably not an IDE bug (I think PB and SB share most of their IDE code, they certainly look almost identical)

I updated to 10.14.4 and everything seems OK. Can anybody else confirm ?
