C Backend in PureBasic MacOS

[Torf]

Hello.

I don't know if this issue was commented in past... This is first time for me that I trie to compile PB and C code with pbcompilec and I'm surprised of it, it's a very very good tool can compile pb and c at the same time..Congratulations!!

What is the problem? Backend C only works in Windows, not in MacOS. I tested with several versions of PB and several versions of Windows (including WinXP 32 bits and Windows 10 64 bits) and several versions of PB (until the latest 6.03 Beta 3) but always the same result.

Is this a know issue? If it is, when is planned to fix?

Thanks in advance.

What should not work here.

The C-Backend compiler works for me under macOS

IDE settings compilers:

The only thing that is still stupid is that you have to extend the path to the compiler yourself.
[Path to Purebasic]/PureBasic.app/Contents/Resources/compilers/pbcompilerc

Ready to copy for add

Which version do you use on OSX ? What is not working ?

If I compile without #include <stdio.h> at top (but using PB in Windows this include is not needed and it compiles and runs OK) I get this error:

error: implicitly declaring library function 'printf' with type 'int (const char *, ...)' [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
printf("Hola\n");
^
purebasic.c:65:2: note: include the header <stdio.h> or explicitly provide a declaration for 'print


And if I add the line #include at top and compile again, the error is:

error: function definition is not allowed here
__header_always_inline int __sputc(int _c, FILE *_p) {
^
1 error generated


I'm using a MacOS Monterey with MacBookAir chip Intel, and I tested with PB 6.01 LTS and 6.03 Beta 3.

Using MS Windows, I have not this problem and C Backend runs very well.

Do you mean you add a printf() as inlined assembly ? Please always post a small code source showing the problem or we can't help.

The macOS sdk standard header files do not seem to fit the gcc compiler.
My guess.

Code: Select all

!#include<stdio.h>
;!printf("Hola\n");

The code is:

Code: Select all

! #include <stdio.h>
! printf("Hola, esto es C con PureBasic\n");

I get an error with the include line, but none when removing it (W10 64bit PB6.02 C compiler). It displays the text in the console, but the console also has to be opened (long enough) to see it:

Code: Select all

OpenConsole()

! printf("Hola, esto es C con PureBasic\n");

Input() : CloseConsole()

Sure,as I wrote in my first message, it runs ok with Windows, and it fails with MacOS.

You can't use a function if not declared on OS X, it's stricter than the C compiler used on Windows. If you want to include stdio.h, you will have a to wait for the headerblock as you can't use #include inside a procedure.
