TailBite doesn't use too many API functions, and most of these are not critical. But I don't know if the PureBasic for Linux Library SDK works the same to the Windows one, it could make things more difficult.

There are other little aspects to watch, as the APILIST.txt creation, lib formats (to watch for the help file name), folder structure, lcclib (the same in Linux?), FAsm behavior, LF or CR, etc., etc. So you could probably make it, but it takes some effort, for sure (before anybody asks: I can't do it, I don't have Linux and I've never used it).

Good luck to anyone interested in doing the port (you'll have my help and my sympathy XD)

@Fred :
Do you think it is possible to create a port of tailbite under Linux ?
What do you think about these differents fields ?
"the APILIST.txt creation, lib formats (to watch for the help file name), folder structure, lcclib (the same in Linux?), FAsm behavior, LF or CR, etc., etc"

Fred? El_Choni is the developer of TailBite .

And he gave permission for anybody to try to make a port. Thus the reason they are asking Fred now

Well, I think the advantage of Fred doing that, is that he's the only one that wouldn't really need to make a complete port. AFAIK (and sorry if I'm mistaken here), most of what he would need to do is add the 'PureLibrary' format to the output format options (same for Windows). But even if this is easy, it would probably take some time that I understand Fred needs for really important stuff. After all, everything you can do with TailBite can also be done without it: you only need to 'Include' the library source

Anyway, as I said, if anybody wants to port it, I'll give all the help I can.
