No go here either.

Tried with xp, v32 and v64 - none will work.

I imagine they'll sort it out.

cheers

Think we should report a bug?

@ Netmaestro & Srod,
This will probably be a waste of posting space but have you tried running in portable / local mode to if maybe that will get it started?
Mine is running in full & portable modes with no probs at all

Edit: using something like this compiled from 1 of your working versions

Code: Select all

If ReadFile(0,"PureBasic.exe") 
 If RunProgram("PureBasic.exe","/PORTABLE","PureBasic")=0  
  MessageRequester("Fault","PB failed to open") 
 EndIf 
  Else 
 MessageRequester("Fault","PureBasic.exe file not found") 
EndIf

Thanks PB Team!

No problem here. I have VC++ 9.0 installed here and recompiling some of my pb libs too. I notice a big difference in size.

I installed this: (uploaded to rapidshare because it was on another site and i couldn't find it somewhere else)

http://rapidshare.com/files/87308470/vccrt.msi.html

and it fixed my problem. Now it runs without problems.

That seems to have worked for me. Thanks

Yes, that fixes it here too. These runtime libraries aren't going to be needed for our compiled .exe programs are they?

Hmmm no idea... Fred said he compiled both the libraries and the compiler itself with VC8. I hope I won't have to put 5mb of runtimes besides the exe :/.

There's only one way to find out... Uninstalling the vc runtime patch and running a compiled exe. I'll have a try and report back.

[Edit]
Nope, it seems that the exe works without it anyway. Tested with this:

Code: Select all

MessageRequester("","Hello world!")

I tried with a much more complex program, Transpetris and it works fine without the runtimes installed, so it seems only pbcompiler.exe needs them. They'll have to be included in the PB installer for success everywhere.

Have you tried the SP1 versions of the VC2005 runtimes?

Fred should just try to statically link to the crt (using LIBCMT.LIB) when compiling the PBCompiler ... it has been known that VS C++ 2005 does link dynamically to the msvcrt in a diff. manner.

Thanks for the headup, i modified the link sequence to use the old MSVCRT.dll like before. For the next beta.

Thanks for this great new!
I am having the problem related here:
http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=30622
(the 2nd one).

Now the problem is constant with this beta2. See the image to get what i mean:

The compile/run icon is disabled... Can't compile!

No other suffering the same problem?

I dont have that much skills regarding the IDE but could it be that the compiler hasnt been started? (which would be suspect anyway).
Means try restarting the Compiler ... and see if it works.
