Installing and running pbcompiler?

[Beach]

And I have to stand straight and take the beating here..

How so?


Anyway, all I had to do on Fedora core 3 was install the following packages:

gtk+-devel-1.2.10-33.i386.rpm
glib-devel-1.2.10-15.i386.rpm
gtk+-devel-1.2.10-33.i386.rpm
SDL-devel-1.2.7-8.i386.rpm

Just find these rpm's and install with the following syntax:

# rpm -ivh <package name>

Also, "gtk2" compiles perfectly - but I did not load anything extra. I must have installed the GTK2 development environment with Gnome.

@Beach: Well I told him that the filenames was : libgtk* & libSDL*
And it is on Mandrake..

And rpm -ihv fail if a package is already installed doesn't it??
I use rpm -U instead, for upgrade/install..
(the vh part is just for some "nice" output..)

Kinda strange. I have just reinstalled Fedora and I thought all my files and settings would be lost. But when I started Fedora after the new installation all files and settings were still present. I didn't change the partition or anything, just installed over the corrupted installation. Now I'm gonna install PB again and see if I can get it working. Btw, I saw abunch of packages which had the gtlib and other names in them so I installed all of them. Now I don't have KDE installed, only Gnome. (I think) hehe

Just tried reinstalling PB. And I still get this error
"sh: gtk-config: command not found"

Could you try to compile the program with the '-s gtk2' flags ? ie:

pbcompiler gadget.pb -s gtk2

[GeoTrail]

That worked Fred. What does that mean? Have I installed something wrong?

[olejr]

That mean you've installed the gtk+2 libs, but not gtk-1.2..

[GeoTrail]

Well it's working. I'm happy with that for now
Do you know how I can set the PBCompiler to run from Kate under external tools? And perhaps also choose the name and location of the compiled output?

[olejr]

Not possible.. terminal is your friend here..

But you can have highlighting/folding!
Just go to Settings\Configure Kate\Highlighing and download select PureBasic

[Fred]

To select the name, use -e yourname.out. BTW, you can don pbcompiler -h to have a quick help on all supported flags

[GeoTrail]

ole, yeah I noticed it already has syntax highlighting and folder thingy for PB. That rocks. I've always liked Kate. Whish it was avaiable for Windows too.

Fred, thanks m8.
I think I'll write a small util for my own purposes when compoiling and add that to the externam tools menu

Is best done with yum.

yum list | grep -i -E "gtk|sdl"

then you just need do a

yum install <package name>
or
yum update <package name>

look to www.livna.com for more info

[DMathis]

I'm sorry the URL was wrong it is rpm.livna.org ... wow I was way off on that one.

Could you try to compile the program with the '-s gtk2' flags ? ie:

pbcompiler gadget.pb -s gtk2

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I'm starting to play with purebasic under linux (Fedora Core 4) and having some troubles. After installing the libstdc++ stuff, I'm finally able to compiler code. But not from the IDE. I've got gtk2 installed rather than the older version. When I compiler with the command line given above, everything works like a charm. When I compile from the command line, it spits up a ton or errors about not having the correct GTK lib.

How do I tell the IDE to compile with the '-s gtk2' flag? I'm using 3.93Beta1.

Thanks,
Aaron

Under Compiler->Compiler Options there's Library Subsystem.
Try typing gtk2 in there..
