PureBasic OpenSource Projects

[Psychophanta]

I found this one much better, more large, extended and more clear:
http://www.purearea.net/pb/english/index.htm

That's something totally different.
This thread is about (parts of) the source code of PureBasic itself, the site you are referring to isn't.

Right

[Fred]

We just added the whole Documentation repository to it, which includes:

- Doc
- Examples
- Catalogs (translations file for IDE and compiler)
- Imports (which is all built-in API functions supported by PureBasic)

Feel free to create your pull requests if you want to add/fix something in this scopes.

About the doc, the main maintainer for French language is Mesa, and for German language is Andre.

Have fun !

Thanks ^_^

[Fred]

Added the 'Residents' repository as well which contains all residents for Windows, Linux, OSX:

- Win32 API struct and constants declaration
- GTK/GTK2/GTK3 includes
- SDL, OpenGL and more

If you want to correct/add some strcutures/contants, please submit a pull request

Thanks for the doc sources, I never liked the compiled help in Linux.

[helpy]

Are the sources of DocMaker also part of the OpenSource Project?

[Fred]

Not yet, but we plan to add it.

This is great topic, for last few months I've made already few attempts to learn the sources (when having time and was not too lazy to play with something like this), especially IDE sources. Very interesting, going to send some patch next time when I'll get angry (like it happens sometime) of something related to IDE functionality

Not related to the IDE but you're a fucking...
Is that enough to make you angry

[Joris]

Excuse me for this, but :

I'm most probably not able to add something to projects like this. Way out of my knowledge.
Yet, how can people like me know what benefits they can get out of these projects ?
What or where are the results ? (yeah, simple pictures would be nice for guys like me)
Which result is better then the other (because) ?
What does this, what does that ?

It would be good to have a seperate topic for the project-results :
(preventing to 'must read' this topic completely, without understanding 5% of what is going on here ...)

Thanks.

The benefit is that the community contributes to the improvement of the Purebasic IDE. Finding and fixing bugs and improving the functionality of the IDE.

Go GitHub from this project or show Purebasic IDE History.

[Saki]

Without the fix from mk-soft, the 573 IDE would hardly be usable under MacOS Big Sur.
The expressions of gratitude are lacking in themselves.
Great work !

There is one more misconduct.
When very many tabs are open to check codes for compatibility with new PB versions, crashes occur.
Mostly around a hundred or two hundred.
So you have to close the IDE to prevent this.
If the IDE crashes, all tabs are closed and you have to start again from the beginning, because you don't know anymore how far you were with the check.

Haha, (un)fortunately no. Something like this is only enough to make some "flood or flame" ^^
I remember I often becoming really angry before, when I was just learning PB. Because of it's bugs or something like "that annoying unreliable search in IDE" or "******ng IDE, I've lost all my code templates need to write another tool to fix that!1", or even often I though "it's a bug" but it wasn't, lol, whatever.
Nowadays there are for sure much less such things and really both PB and IDE evolved greatly, but depending on mood and wish there should be things to improve.

I'm most probably not able to add something to projects like this. Way out of my knowledge.
Yet, how can people like me know what benefits they can get out of these projects ?

Well it may look obvious, but you can sit and MEDITATE all the night with any interesting project which is +- complex for you. As result, this may help you to improve your knowledge itself, so that will be main "benefit" in such case.

Big thanks for "MakeWindows.cmd", it works great

This makes it very easy to create the IDE

[stevie1401]

I'm trying to start the code, which code do I have to load first?

It's not Purebasic.pb, it's giving errors
