PureBasic Forums - English

For the brave of you that like to poke around with an Arch based distro

This is what you have to do to get PureBasic working on Manjaro XFCE 0.8.5:

- N O T H I N G -

Just download PureBasic and extract it.

At least up until now I haven't found anything missing.
I think it's because QTCreator is already installed and with that all the libraries gcc needs for it.

As soon I find that a library is missing I will edit this post.

Enjoy

Thanks, fsw.

I think I'll try Manjaro XFCE as installing Linux on other distributions always gives me a little trouble.

Thanks for the heads up. I will check this out.

After you download and install Manjaro XFCE 0.8.5 there will be ONE update that is a catch-22 because pacman will be updated (pacman 4.1).
See here: http://manjaro.org/2013/04/18/stable-re ... acman-4-1/.
Bottom line: Instead of using the graphical pacman GUI (Pamac) to do the update, edit pacman.conf and use pacman in the terminal.

disable SyncFirst in your /etc/pacman.conf for this update and use pacman -Syu as normal.

Following your post I have been using the KDE version of Manjaro Linux.

It works just as you said the XFCE version did.

fsw: Thanks again. Still amazed!

Glad it worked for you.

Now 0.8.5.1 is out which takes care of the last catch-22 I mentioned.
(if someone wants to start from scratch...)
But being a rolling release Manjaro is always uptodate.

They have the following repository structure:

core
extra
community
multilib (only on x86_64 systems)

The repositories are bundled in branches:

stable
testing
unstable

I'm using stable and very satisfied.
Love it.
