sqlite3 userlib is useless. use the native one in pb.

Using PB v4.41 x64
Tailbite v1.4.3 (using MultiLib)
PellesC v6.0.4
nasm v2.08.01

I have managed to compile the following libs without any MAJOR hassle:

• PBOSL_AnimSprite
  PBOSL_AppRunning
  PBOSL_BriefLZ
  PBOSL_CPUmonitor
  PBOSL_DBin
  PBOSL_ExDatabase
  PBOSL_GlobalSharedMemory
  PBOSL_LoadDllMemory
  PBOSL_MSXML3
  PBOSL_NTService
  PBOSL_SkinWin
  PBOSL_SkinWinFast
  PBOSL_Timer
  PBOSL_ToolbarPro
  PBOSL_TryCatch
  PBOSL_WindowSubclass

Also didn't have any problems making the help file.


Ran into the following issues:

• Setup.bat required some changes, i ran into some issues using spaces in location names. (also with ").
  C\PBOSL_SkinWinFast: requires Unicode flag support - compiles.
  ASM\PBOSL_AppRunning: requires Unicode flag support - compiles.
  ASM\PBOSL_TryCatch: requires Unicode flag support - compiles.
  PB\PBOSL_CreateGadget: need prototyping - fails.
  PB\PBOSL_ExPrinter: unknown structure field(s) - fails.
  PB\PBOSL_Process: TB-ERROR: ExamineDrivers.asm#30#Code -122 UNDEFINED_SYMBOL. <- 64 bit problem?
  PB\PBOSL_RFile: TB-ERROR: PureBasic.asm [2321|MP38]: Undefined symbol 's_New_RFile.p_VT'.
  PB\PBOSL_ScreenGadgets: TB-ERROR: PureBasic.asm [16367|MP190]: Undefined symbol 's_SG_ScreenGadgetEvent.v_WaitMouseRelease_SL'.

Edit: I have only tested CPUUsage(), does not work in PB-x64 but in PB-x86 it howls from the speakers with a high pitch noise, then does nothing but return -1 value.

The rest will have to wait.

Hello,

WebPM doesn't work anymore... is there another colaborative space (CVS, SVN...) for PBOSL?
Is PBOSL still under development or abandoned?

Compiled from source PBOSL for PureBasic 4.5x.
Download.

Hi User_Russian, thanks for download, did you need to alter the source much.
If so, any chance of submitting the changes you had to make.

Hi, is this version also compatible with PB 4.61?

there is an update for binaries to ts-soft lib by user_russian look for PureBasic 5.00 x86 here: http://pure-basic.narod.ru/libs.html . it works with pb5.10b1. use google translator to translate pages to english.

Someone should just put it up on GitHub, GitHub has gotten quite popular and makes it easy for people to "subscribe" to a project automatically syncing the latest changes to their disk, etc.

Offtopic: Actually instead of having a Tips and Tricks section it would be nice with an official rep. at GitHub where all examples are published and maintained by the community. Then the current work with updating the code in that forum section would be a breeze.

SkinWinFast library update for PB5.21 (requires SkinWin lib from PBOSL package):

DOWNLOAD: SkinWinFast_PB521.zip

Changes:
- GenerateFastSkin()'s "compress" argument takes now a #PB_PackerPlugin_ constant (#PB_PackerPlugin_Zip, #PB_PackerPlugin_LZMA, #PB_PackerPlugin_BriefLZ, 0 = no compression)
- You need to include the correct UseXXXPacker() command in your executable that uses compressed .pbs skin files
- File version of .pbs skins updated to v2, as it is not compatible to v1 skins. You need to re-generate your skins.

Small test included. Final EXE sizes with the included example image: Resulting EXE size depends on the image and packer you use.
LZMA may create smaller .pbs files, but the packer/unpacker is much
bigger itself. BriefLZ packer/unpacker is much smaller (round about 40KB),
but compressed skins are usually bigger. You need to test this if you want
the smallest possible executable.
