How many use it for Win/Mac/Linux? Do they use it privately, professionally or do they even sell the software they create?

Is there a way to support the project financially independently of buying a license? I purchased my PB license 21 years ago. I'm starting to feel guilty about having paid for it just this once...

Why not buy a licence and donate it to some young folk to get in touch with PureBasic?

A subscription to SpiderBasic is perhaps one option, because it then generates very valuable recurring annual revenue for PureBasic's development company. If that could be billed to a credit card automatically, it would be really convenient and a dare say many of us would be happy with that.

I'd be very happy if SpiderBasic subscriptions could auto-renew. I paid for a year of SB last December, and plan to do so again this year. Great tools, great community, and support the amazing team

Hey, nice thought. Maybe I can think of someone in my family...

I like Purebasic

I haven't had to write a complete commercial application for a long time, but I'm staying active.

Yes, keep your brain in the game!

Your posts are very informative and appreciated.

That's what I always said...

2024-03-22: beta 9 is out for testing, it will be hopefully the last beta before final ! It brings the following changes and bug fixes:

Code: Select all

Optimized: SoundVolume() and MusicVolume() changed from integer to float so fractional values are accepted for better precision.
Changed: removed 'link.exe' from the Windows package and went back to 'polink.exe' (link.exe is not freely redistrituable). If 'link.exe' is found on the PATH it will still be used to have a bit smaller executables.

Bugfixes for this version:

This list was created automatically. All updated bug threads from the date of the last final version have been determined.

Nice!
After installing MS VS 2022 Community Edition I have the following:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.38.33130\bin\Hostx64\x64
01/17/2024  01:59 PM         2,412,104 link.exe
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.38.33130\bin\Hostx64\x86
01/17/2024  01:59 PM         2,412,096 link.exe
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.38.33130\bin\Hostx86\x64
01/17/2024  01:59 PM         2,070,088 link.exe
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.38.33130\bin\Hostx86\x86
01/17/2024  01:59 PM         2,070,088 link.exe

How do you differentiate the different link.exe's to use if they are all on the PATH statement?
Can I copy the correct link.exe into my PB install folder, C:\PureBasic-x64\Compilers\vc\link.exe?
polink.exe is 1 level higher.
