Installing PB (as a user on a network)

Post by theteapot »

Hi All,
I'm having a problem installing PureBasic on Mac OS X. I'm a user on a network, with enough priveliges to download, open disk images, open the terminal, etc..
I've downloaded the disk image, mounted it, copied ./purebasic/* to my desktop, but when I try to run purebasic.app, it opens, but doesn't compiler/run my programs. I tried to use the export commands in install.txt, and I put then into .bashrc. If I open Terminal, and then type "export", I get something like (I'm currently at home):
export PUREBASIC_HOME$="/Network/web1/Volumes/Users/Students/2008/wardp/Desktop/purebasic"
(and another one, I can't remember what it is, a path$ thing or something)

I copied straight from install.txt.
But when I try "compilers/pbcompiler", it can't find it. Same result with "pbcompiler".

Sorry if I haven't given enough info, I may get some later today or tomorrow. Any ideas?

What is happening exactly when you hit the 'compile' button ?

The Mac you are going to develop on need to have XCode installed on it before you can use Purebasic. After XCode is installed just drag the 'Purebasic' folder from the .dmg and place into your home folder and then everything should work. :)

Hmm, I thought I had replied, but apparently not.

Fred:
Error: Assembler
ommand not found.
(yes, is does say "ommand")

Kale:
Could you provide a url for that? Or how do you install it? Can it be installed by a user, not the System Administrator?

XCode is on the MacOS install disc but is not installed by default. This can also only be installed by Admin, iirc.
