Hi!

Today I finally got my versions of PureBasic and wanted to test the Linux-Compiler just with a litte MessageRequester-Script.

I start compilation with "./PCompiler ../hallo.pb"

I get following Messages on the screen:

**************************************************
PureBasic Linux x86 2.90
**************************************************

Loading external modules...
Starting compilation (2 lines proceeded).
Creating the executable.

- Feel the ..PuRe.. Power -
[jan@localhost Compilers] $ Hallo : Hi : 0

The cursor is under the last line, I have to press any key, to return to the prompt.

I can't see any error message, but after that, there is no executable there. Nothing happened.

Does anyone know, what I did wrong, or what do I have to look for, when compiling under linux?

greetz, Jan

PS: I've got Redhat 7.3

I haven't tested with the linux version but you might have to set an option/switch when compiling to generate an exe... try with: "./PCompiler -?" or something like that and you might see what different options the PCompiler program takes...

To start the help of the PBCompiler, I have to type in "./PBCompiler /?", so I read it in the manual, but it only says, that it can't open the file '/?'

v2.90 is too old to do something serious on Linux. v3.30 will be out next week..

I really don't think you can use the character '/' as a switch in linux as this is a reserved character for directory stuff, try with something else like '\?' or '-?'. Isn't there some special linux manual that goes with the package?(haven't got the linux version at all so i don't know what stuff is in it.)

Sorry that i can't help you, perhaps someone that has actually tried out the linux version can answer you...

I thought that we all had the Linux version. If we don't Don't you get it with you licence? How can you download it. (I am thinking about dabling in Linux)

Just send me a mail. Linux was in beta stage, so it was only useful for skilled users. It should change soon.

Hhhmmmm, ok, I know, that there is a V3.30 soon, but I still don't know how to create executables under Linux

(

The Manual included seems to be for Windows.

Because there I read that I have to type in "./PBCompiler file.pb /EXE".

I tried 3 other combinations:

./PBCompiler file.pb \EXE
./PBCompiler file.pb -EXE
./PBCompiler file.pb EXE

Unfortunately, nothing worked.

And I purchased PureBasic to use it mainly under Linux.
I was really glad, when I reached emulating the PB-IDE with Wine, so I have also a compatible Editor I can use under Linux. I even can create .exe-Files through Wine
