Linux Installer for PureBasic

Post by Kazmirzak »

At the moment it is a hard job to get PureBasic running on linux; I personally didn't reach it :)

It would be great for the linux version to have an official installation binary inside, with following features:

* install the PB-Files to the several folders
* install a free editor (or a PB one) and link to the linux-desktop
* install the highlighting issue for PureBasic for that editor
* if it's possible, link the compile mechanism to this editor
* look for proper installed rpms needed by PureBasic to run properly and display the missing ones (!important!)

In my opinion, with such a Linux Installer, Pure Basic could finally be called "Linux Friendly" and would be open for Not-Advanced Linux users!

I have to agree first time instalations are a bit confusing...

On the other hand, the code i've made for libs_installer works under linux if you remove the winapi calls, so it should be easy to convert it...
