The compiler is not ready

[Randy Walker]

The project became open at a certain time. Initially it was closed. That is, there is no open version that you need.

Not sure what that means. The IDE source code was available when I first came onboard years ago, and gnozal had already created his JaPBe version of the PB IDE.

Click the green "<> Code" button and click "Download ZIP". Unpack, execute the file /purebasic-devel/PureBasicIDE/MakeWindows.cmd, the folder purebasic-devel/PureBasicIDE/Build will appear. Open PureBasic.pb, enable "safe thread" and compile.

I tried with both the purebasic-devel And purebasic-6.30 But both gave me this message when I ran the .cmd file:

Invalid parameters: Missing argument for target PureBasic directory
Press any key to continue . . .

Am I missing a step? Doing something wrong?

Create a shortcut for the file, open the shortcut property and specify the path there.
C:\PB\purebasic-devel\PureBasicIDE\MakeWindows.cmd "C:\PB\PureBasic_x64"

My PurebasicIDE path is different and didn't have a C:\PB\Purebasic_64 path so I created one. I tried the shortcut angle but didn't do anything so I tried from Command prompt. It scrolled a lot of stuff as you can see below, but no Build folder. FFirst 3 lines look good to me :

This seems to be the problem, but what to do about it?:

My PurebasicIDE path is different and didn't have a C:\PB\Purebasic_64 path so I created one.

I'm not surprised.
C:\PB\Purebasic_64 - this is the path to your Purebasic. I do not know where you have it, and I am not interested. You need to specify the path to your Purebasic. The Purebasic folder should not be empty.

This is not a standard compilation method. There is a project file in the folder and you need to create it with it. If you use my method, you will also need to import resources (icons). But more on that later.

I understand my method. But there is another way.

I let the installer run with the default installation path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\
OR
C:\Program Files\
Depending on the installer.

I finally got the BUild folder with one "dummy" file there but still get this error ehen I try to compile:
Line 13: File not found (D:\PureBasic\purebasic-6.30\PureBasicIDE\Build\BuildInfo.pb).
Line 13 in the file is: XIncludeFile "Build/BuildInfo.pb"

BuildInfo.pb
You madte 2 separate code posts there. Am I supposed to srteam them together into a single .pb file and save it to that Build folder?

The second code is a list of files that should appear in the "purebasic-devel\PureBasicIDE\Build" folder.
If you don't have these files, the compiler will remind you every time. I have given you the list to exclude further possible requests for other files.

You can also compile SpiderBasic IDE using these same files.

BUIT didn't. Only a single file there named dummy.pb

[Randy Walker]

Maybe there is a simple step-by-step guide somewhere for doing this?
