Purebasic Linux IDE beta1 released

[GedB]

Will the source still be available?

Is the Win32 version going to be using the promised GTK?

[DoubleDutch]

Beach: That would be great, your colinux/purebasic combi is really good.

> BTW: Will this IDE only be available in the full Linux version? I would like to integrate the IDE with the next version Purebasic/CoLinux I am working on.

It will of course also be included in the demo version.
Would be pretty stupid to have a good ide and not show it to potential new customers, don't you think?

> Will the source still be available?

No. For several reasons, we decided not to make the source public.

> Is the Win32 version going to be using the promised GTK?

Nope. it will be using the normal PB/Windows libraries.
Dunno when the gtk subsystem for windows comes.

Honestly I don't know why you'd want GTK for windows... it's buggy, slow, and a memory hog. I'm glad that native windows gadgets will be used.

also i dont know many users that have gtk installed.. Not normal windows users.

Thats why optional

But maybe it makes Linux/Windows-Ports easier.

Dohh! Sorry dude, I guess I did not think it through well enough.

[naw]

Can't wait window version

The IDE aborts abruptly on me shortly after starting it up. I am using a fresh install of Fedora Core 3 with updates.

Here the error:

Code: Select all

[beach@localhost ide_beta1]$ ./purebasic
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0820d3d0 ***
Aborted

Just let me know if there is any other information you need regarding my setup.

[freak]

Yes, quite a few people get these crashes.. i'm on it.
Unfortunately, there has been quite a delay in development the past few days so it takes longer than expected.

I hope to have a fix for this somewhen on monday.

[GeoTrail]

WOW, that looks sooo cool
Guess I gotta go install Linux again hehehehe

[cwhite]

Just curious...

Is this editor written totally in PureBasic? What other libraries are being used? Any C/C++ being used?

Looks very impressive so far!!

[freak]

Ok, sorry everybody for the delay.

Here is a new beta update:
http://freak.purearea.net/stuff/ide_beta1d.tgz

The cause for the frequent crashes and glibc error messages has been fixed.
But there are also several other improovements:

Code: Select all

PureBasic Linux IDE - beta 1d
 - added automatic popup option to AutoComplete
 - the toolspanel tools can now also be in a seperate window (if they are not displayed in the panel, you can open them from the tools menu)
 - toolspanel tools can have custom colors and font
 - added options to save project settings in a separate file (see Preferences -> Editor)
 - variable viewer is more freequently updated
 - F12 key refreshes procedurebrowser, folding and variable viewer
 - added Debugger menu item (was not there before, because menuitems can't have a state on pblinux)

[Beach]

Everything seems to work fine now. This is awesome!

I did notice one thing, when I tried to close the IDE without saving the file I was working on, I received the following window...



[edit] I just tried it again and this time it worked correctly. Maybe it was just a fluke.
